“On The Road” is the atmospheric opening track of Elestee’s 2025 EP, Mentally, I’m Here. After rebranding from her former moniker (Lifesize Teddy), the Mavin Records signee uses this song to set a confident, self-assured tone for her new artistic chapter.
“On The Road” is a masterclass in understated confidence. It isn’t a loud, club-heavy anthem like “John Wick” or “Hypnotic,” but rather a smooth, essential intro that proves Elestee is one of the most versatile lyricists in the modern Nigerian scene.

[Verse 1]
Standing two feet on the ground
Planted but we can't live underground
Make them know me all around
This is the life I chose
Never letting go
Everyday people
Still the same boat we row
And it never let me go
I go survive I know
[Chorus]
I'm always on the road
Always on the road, hoping that one day you'll see me
Mmh
In case you wanna know
In case you wanna know
I'll pop up on your TV
Mmh
I feel it in my gut
I know that beautiful times are near
Beautiful times are near
I'm always on the road, ah
You know me, I'm a soldier
[Verse 2]
Imagine that
Imagine hope just oozing out my fanny pack
Imagine me, I look good in a Cadillac
Imagine say we dey share money like na party pack
Illuminati allegations cos the music going places that never heard
The party packed
They preach my gospel like the cardinal
Imagine that
Motion sickness got 'em puking so they lagging back
Got 'em all whipped, it's like crack
Abegi make them hear word
I'm the one right now, and I'm the next up
Given this a lot, I apply pressure
You dey go market, we dey play check up
Do this for the cheque
This ain't chess, this is checkers
On that black app just like Kesha
TikTok, I never stop till I get ya
Bricked up, they can't withstand all my pressure
Cheesed up, I'm pulling stacks for my leisure
Please God, align it all for your treasure
[Chorus]
I'm always on the road
Always on the road, hoping that one day you'll see me
Mmh
In case you wanna know
In case you wanna know
I'll pop up on your TV
Mmh
I feel it in my gut
I know that beautiful times are near
Beautiful times are near
I'm always on the road, ah
You know me, I'm a soldier
