Highway 95 pt.2 Lyrics
[Intro]
I do love you, oh
People say, people say
Love is just a guarantee
[Chorus]
Ninety-five, speedin' down the highway
Caught a ride, got five on the gas tank
Sister, go on and be somethin' decent
I ain't never gon' be shit to my nieces
Broken heart, then I lost all the pieces
Cried all night every time I took a beatin'
Runaway child, sleepin' under highways
Growin' up and goin' on a tirade
[Verse 1]
Thirteen, I'm livin' in the ditches
I don't recall my mother in the kitchen
F*ck school, grades peaked in the fifth grade
Playin' video games was a temporary band-aid
Outside, got a zip of weed on me
I don't do dr*gs but I hold it for the homies
I sit outside with nothin', feelin' lonely
No stamps at the end of the month, so I'm hungry
[Chorus]
Ninety-five, speedin' down the highway
Caught a ride, got five on the gas tank
Sister, go on and be somethin' decent
I ain't never gon' be shit to my nieces
Broken heart, then I lost all the pieces
Cried all night every time I took a beatin'
Runaway child, sleepin' under highways
Growin' up and goin' on a tirade
[Verse 2]
Runnin' out of wishes, God doesn't listen
Broken home, paper plates in the kitchen
Sometimes, I forget that my momma's out existin'
What am I without this government assistance?
Route 95, hitchhikin' on this highway
I got my clothes from the church last Friday
I hid everything, can't trust my uncle Andre
These days, I just wish I could fly away
Momma at the door about three in the mornin'
I wake up as a burden, I'm the kid that no one wanted
Abusers all around me, I'm lookin' at 'em sideways
Thirteen, I'm goin' on a tirade
[Chorus]
Ninety-five, speedin' down the highway
Caught a ride, got five on the gas tank
Sister, go on and be somethin' decent
I ain't never gon' be shit to my nieces
Broken heart, then I lost all the pieces
Cried all night every time I took a beatin'
Runaway child, sleepin' under highways
Growin' up and goin' on a tirade
[Verse 3]
I been thinkin' all day
Got about five and I'm dressed up by the ashtray
Cuttin' all ties, put my five in the gas tank
I hope that that's enough, I'm about to hit the fast lane
I'm a soldier, I make it all decent
Hit that dirty desert, need that rent by the weekend
These f*ckin' streets is filled with diseases
And pleases, it teaches
I never know what peace is, I'm dreamin'
[Chorus]
Ninety-five, speedin' down the highway
Caught a ride, got five on the gas tank
Sister, go on and be somethin' decent
I ain't never gon' be shit to my nieces
Broken heart, then I lost all the pieces
Cried all night every time I took a beatin'
Runaway child, sleepin' under highways
Growin' up and goin' on a tirade
[Outro]
Ninety-five, speedin' down the highway
Caught a ride, got five on the gas tank
Ninety-five, speedin' down the highway
Caught a ride, got five on the gas tank
Ninety-five, speedin' down the highway
Caught a ride, got five on the gas tank
Ninety-five, speedin' down the highway
Caught a ride, got five on the gas tank

Highway 95 pt.2 Song Meaning [Baby Keem]
"Highway 95 pt.2" is a stark autobiographical rap narrative by Baby Keem from the 2026 album "Ca$ino", released through pgLang and Columbia Records. Built on minimal, atmospheric production, the track revisits themes of instability, survival, and fractured family life, using the image of Interstate 95 as a metaphor for escape and emotional displacement during adolescence.
Song Meaning
The opening section frames love as something distant and unreliable, setting a mood of emotional confusion. Instead of comfort, affection feels conditional and fragile, hinting at a childhood where reassurance was rare. The highway imagery immediately introduces motion without destination, suggesting a young person constantly in transit, physically and psychologically.
The first narrative passage drops into early teenage years marked by neglect and poverty. Domestic absence, academic disengagement, and hunger form a portrait of a child forced into premature independence. Small distractions offer only temporary relief, emphasizing how survival replaced normal adolescence. The tone captures loneliness not as a moment but as a permanent environment.
As the story deepens, faith and authority figures appear ineffective. Government aid, church donations, and unstable guardianship create a patchwork existence rather than real security. Distrust within the family circle intensifies the sense of danger at home, while hitchhiking along a major highway becomes both literal escape and symbolic search for belonging. The repeated reference to being unwanted underscores a lasting wound to identity.
The later section shifts toward restless determination. With minimal resources and no safety net, the narrator chooses movement over stagnation. The desert and fast-lane imagery evoke risk, adulthood arriving too soon, and the necessity of emotional armor. Survival becomes a learned discipline rather than a choice, revealing how hardship shapes resilience while eroding innocence.
Emotional Core and Themes
At its heart, the song explores abandonment, resilience, and the psychological cost of growing up without stability. It portrays how trauma can normalize chaos, making constant motion feel safer than stillness. Family fracture, poverty, and exposure to violence converge into a coming-of-age story where maturity is forced rather than earned.
Connection with Listeners
Listeners connect because the narrative transcends one biography. Anyone who has experienced instability, self-doubt, or the need to escape a painful environment can recognize the emotional truth. The highway becomes a universal symbol of searching for a future that feels just out of reach, making the track resonate as both personal confession and collective survival story.
Conclusion
"Highway 95 pt.2" stands as one of Baby Keem’s most revealing works, transforming fragmented memories into a cohesive portrait of endurance. By turning a stretch of road into a symbol of displacement and hope, the song captures the uneasy transition from neglected childhood to hardened adulthood. It lingers not for spectacle but for honesty, offering a raw reminder that survival often comes before healing.
