lyrics

It’s been a long ride - a nigga can’t believe he’s still alive, as many times as I done crossed them yellow lines, and careened down hillsides, stuck in Ravines then engaged 4 wheel drive, fucking with me, you gon see something, bumper to bumper, rolling trees up, “made it hard for you to breathe huh”
Crack the windows -back to bidness, mash the pedal, ain’t no roadmap, just know I can’t go back...
Striking - hitting ya city streets yiking, eyes widened slightly for the pretty hitchhikers aaaaay
Breast-meat and buns out with they thumbs out but Nothing on the gas, so fuck it, I’ma pass
My vessel use the only best of fuels, that cheap shit’ll have you retching fumes, I had to choose and progression ruled
Now I’m riding extra smooth, own set of tools, that’s an upgrade y’all better do
Eyes scanning in my rearview, for cherries, blueberries, but I’m under so they steer through
And ain’t no telling what I will do, or still do, but please believe, I’m coming rent still due
You standing still? You idling wasting petrol, get yo ass in gear, your movement gotta stay perpetual
They big mad when you pass em up, that’s when you slow it down, put that big thang up on the dash and mug
See everybody got they own ride to take, when I finally make it to my final place I’ma say mine was great
Few bumps minor scrapes, but I’m ok, and helped a few folks along the way
Lost some passengers, but they was passing through, still got the compassion to forgive their trespasses too
My long-haulers? Those that know the road, uphold the code? Turnt up the heat when the going was cold?
Salute- this is for you, I’m still down for a mission or two, reach out I’m sliding through
Like, skrrrt, when it’s love never feel like work, in and out quick, tires burnt
Then it’s open road, watching the landscape unfold, extra episodes, nonstop, just go
This good for the soul- though it’s rough on the chassis, destination? Destiny so remember keep smashing,
Wheels still spin? You got action - I’ma see you in the traffic
