[Intro]

On the Road

On the Road

On the Road


[Hook]

Long drives, cold vibes, fog lights, bold lines

Long drives, cold vibes, fog lights, bold lines

Long drives, cold vibe, fog on the window

But I'm still reflecting, I need time to think so


[Verse 1]

Started with no plans of stopping it

Caught it with no chance of dropping it

Forgot the optimism in my closet

Now my stomach half empty, hungry for the compliments

Cause ominous RMS on to this, y'all could just

Contemplate the response of the audience, I

Cultivate a sound that is synonymous

With that of all the greats isn't it obvious my

Vision is crystal

I swear my vision is crystal

Caught behind foggy windows

I can see with these lids closed

This criticism is, tryna blur my intuition

Imma push the wipers into first position

Pull an Earl Simmons and wipe that shit away now

Nothing else to say now

I swear, anyone criticizing is hating

I swear, in my eyes I can never be mistaken

I swear, I decide if it's a yes, no or maybe

I'll only accept other sentiments from an Eminem or a Jay Z

Call me crazy

There is a fine line between determination and blindness

This yellow line that I'm riding divides the insane and the spineless

Its no longer a decision between right and wrong, its right and left

I'm just, following the path of my ambition, I confess

That without second guessing or a doubt, in a millisecond

I'm resting my foot on the gas before stepping as fast and hard as I can press it

Accelerate, accelerate

Right into oncoming traffic I swerve and

I'm a renegade, I never wait

Horns blaring as I blast past them

Hitting 97, 98

Vision is crystal, but critics think I'm mistaken

And I swear, anyone criticizing is ... [Horn blaring... Crash]


[Intermission]

"Mistakes are masterful teachers"


[Hook]


[Verse 2]

Started with no plans of stopping it

Caught it with no chance of dropping it

Got some optimism from the kitchen now my stomach half full

But with ego not confidence

Take a detour and just to vomit it

Do not hold it, I thought that my vision was crystal

And I saw the whole picture but man I only saw a part of it

I admit, my vision is a bit more of cracked windshield

I admit, I might've missed the mark on the facts that have been real

I admit, I might've ignored signs and kept driving

So I think, how long can I survive with no headlights shining

In a dark tunnel? Like tunnel vision with no light at the end of it

What if

Talk that'll channel negative

Thoughts illuminate the dark indefinite

Road ahead of me

Perfect recipe for

Dedication, narrow mindedness

It's a fine line that is set between

Determination and blindness

If, I can find this shit

Can I learn from these masterful teachers and listen?

If I can't grow from these mistakes then I've been defeated before I reach ignition
