Outlaw

(Album: Self Made In America - 2022)

Empty bottle on the car floor, city in the rearview
Foot on the gas (got my foot on the gas)
It's the life that I chose now, cruising as the witnesses
Look while I pass (let 'em look while I pass)
'Cause that's the life of an outlaw, setting fires
Labeled as an outcast
But this is the life I chose, yeah I gotta be me
Shackles off, yeah I gotta be free (yeah)

I'm in my truck like one-twenty on the dash
Hundred proof on my breath and like three bands in cash
I'm a problem to the industry, never learned to dance
And I never learned the lingo, what the fuck is an advance?
I done built this shit myself so nothing's ever left to chance
I'm a product of my work ethic in every circumstance
You ain't taking nothing from me, I ain't giving you a pass
They done built me fucking differently, these suckers never last
Find me swerving, I'm ducking, I'm leaving 'em in the past
I'm just going city to city and picking up my bags
I will die for this, ride for this, I'm in my fucking prime for this
I wrote the script and made it hit so you know what fucking time it is

Empty bottle on the car floor, city in the rearview
Foot on the gas (got my foot on the gas)
It's the life that I chose now, cruising as the witnesses
Look while I pass (let 'em look while I pass)
'Cause that's the life of an outlaw, setting fires
Labeled as an outcast
But this is the life I chose, yeah I gotta be me
Shackles off, yeah I gotta be free

Yeah, I got my middle finger high
I done built it for the ground up, I'm addicted to the grind
Take a page up out my playbook and you'll see in the design
It ain't built for fucking lazy it's a winning state of mind
Independent, we taking no shit and making a living
If you fucking with my business then I swear I'll make a killing
I ain't trying to be a problem but I'm blowing through the ceiling
I'm an outlaw, I ain't doing shit if I don't feel it
Took a minute to be in it to get it but now we here
Now I flip it and flip it and make it bigger every year
Got the pedal to the medal till I'm running out of gears
I ain't slowing down for nothing till I'm running out of years

Empty bottle on the car floor, city in the rearview
Foot on the gas (got my foot on the gas)
It's the life that I chose now, cruising as the witnesses
Look while I pass (let 'em look while I pass)
'Cause that's the life of an outlaw, setting fires
Labeled as an outcast
But this is the life I chose, yeah I gotta be me
Shackles off, yeah I gotta be free (yeah)
