streetlights
How did I get here?
I must've missed all the signs from the time that I spent here
Pretty sure it was supposed to be a right then a left
It's been a ride but I'll get there
See, rearview mirrors only show where I coulda went
Once you pass, 'go' only disappears
Had it mapped out and I should've went back, now it's been a year
Hands on the wheel as I swerve
Spaced out trynna be a star
Where I know if I blink I could miss my turn
You would think I learned
But I'm lost and the speed keeps the street lights blurred
If the world stopped for a minute, like
Turned the lights off, would I finish
These thoughts when I pass like neon in the glass
Just flashing the image, no traffic
I'm running out of gas in a rental
3 AM and the brakes might need a little action, or risk crashing
Steer clear of the distraction and get back where I recognize I been static
it just happens
Simply want to turn it to a kicked habit, and skip practice
Give myself a break, the benefit, don't get it gymnastic
When the situation sticky like a fridge magnet, I still manage
To get it
I just touched road and the strobe lights telling me to go now
Where you headed?
Thought I knew the way and I had no doubt, but I broke down
Poetic
Told me everything is always somewhere else
And I know it don't help
But if you can't trust yourself best believe
These streetlights
Got me looking for a sign in the midnight
Feeling like the worst thing in hindsight is my insight
'Cause even at a loss I'ma take flight
Just hoping I can find these streetlights
Staring at my past life
Trynna reflect in my mirror
The objects coming at me
Looking closer than appearance
Been a pioneer they trynna tell me that I'm finished
Flash 'em 32 like a nigga just left the dentist
I'm a menace to society
Only 'cause they be lying to me
So word to the wise when you tired
Decide if you gonna be broke or reliant
My energy endless, I'm never retiring
So check on your rear like you worried of sirens
Mama love me but she sweat that I'm different
Brother never seen a show, man he missing out
Leverage on me got the weight of a planet
Papa worried 'cause he ain't got the vantage
I see the vision, man, don't worry I'll manage
Mind stoned but my feet steady planted
Even when I'm lazy I barely afford sleep
Even when it's hazy the vision has been clean
Even when I'm dead emocean is still cream
Even when I'm tired I'm rolling at full steam
Busy 'cause I know that my days ain't guaranteed
But I still take a second, relax, enjoy tea
Know that I'ma get it regardless, they talk fees
I be steady floating, they drown in reality
These streetlights
Got me looking for a sign in the midnight
Feeling like the worst thing in hindsight is my insight
'Cause even at a loss I'ma take flight
Just hoping I can find these streetlights
I must've missed all the signs from the time that I spent here
Pretty sure it was supposed to be a right then a left
It's been a ride but I'll get there
See, rearview mirrors only show where I coulda went
Once you pass, 'go' only disappears
