[Part 1]
Intermission
Waiting for inspiration at the intersection
Inhibitions
Winner vision but the signs say no (no)
Red light, stop (stop)
Green light, go (go)
It’s what I’ve learnt
It’s what I know
Mic check, 1-2, let’s go
Start the countdown, going live in about 5
4, 3, 2, hold up, wait, slow
I’m just going through a lot at the moment
It’s what everybody say these days and I’m no exception
Gotta navigate ten-lane streets running west to east
Without a clue ‘bout the right direction, how
Many lines on the zebra crossing
No time for pausing, moving traffic, caution
(Yellow light)
Sometimes it’s the pitstop right before liftoff
Sometimes gridlock
You break up one day, break down on the other
Getting bread’s dry work, no butter
Can’t see my dreams underneath routines
Me, sleep? It’s already past 3
Don’t bother
“Keep on, brother”
What you tell everybody else when they juggle with the same struggle
I’m never as together as I seem
Always half flatline, half redline
Waiting for my goddamn turn
Green
[Part 2]
(This is Safe Disposal of Unsafe Thoughts)
That’s green on the exit sign
Emergency, courtesy of a discourteous mind
Ain’t got a dime in the pocket but currency currently not on the line
I’m on a journey of crime
Killing my darlings, yeah, one at time
I’m ‘bout to casually murder some tracks, you all casualties
When the master arrives
It’s Sail to the E
Better hail to the thief
This the OST of the unsafe T’s
If you’ve dreamed of screeching sideways from police
And your vehicle speakers ain’t blaring this beat
You ain’t doing it right
Feel like all of my circuits are shorting, I snorted a line of caffeine
Chased it with gasoline
Light the streets up, my feet Billie Jean
I’m the bad guy, the king and the queen, hah!
Because your boy just got started
Ain’t no time to feel disheartened
Consider doubt dead, departed
He won’t be undermined
Speeding tickets, ceilings, limits
He don’t stop for any kind
The lights don’t even register no more
Fucking colorblind
