Green Lights

I said I'm on my way
With these steps I take
And if I might lose
That's a road, not a tattoo
'Cause I'm on my way
From every mess I've made
And to all that presses on me
You will retrograde

'Cause I'm on my way
I'm done living in the yellows
I said I'm on my way
I'm all pedal to the metal
I'm all green lights

My ceiling won't be wiling to raise
If I'm addicted to what's keeping it low
If I'm living as a villain of change
I'm a killer of how I could've grown
To be wishing for a way to escape
While doing nothing, saying leave it alone
That's licking on the edge of the blade
Waiting for the watermelon flavor to flow

There's part of you that's hidden where the lion is
In the arena with hunger beneath his eyelids
That's the limit that you live with in silence
That's the sigh of your violin
But that song is your call to unbind it
Who you've been isn't who you need to align with
Go 'head tell me I've changed 'n I like it
'Cause that's right, man
I'm feeling like napalm mixed with the chainsaw man
My balls clang when I stand up
And that's change to a man
Who was black out wasted again
With his face in the sand
Every light, every [*csss*] of the can
Every night was a knife in the shape of a hand
Till I paused one day
And I saw through the fog to a new someday
A new Kai looking brand new like blue sun rays
Through the dew when the new sun wakes
And I thought that's me, so I reached to it
Every minute, every day, grit my teeth through it
Till the me who I saw in that dream was the me
Who's looking right back as I'm flossing my teeth
This me is the home on the beach
This me is the lambo, owned not leased
This me was the goal, I'm the three-peat
I'm the only proof I need

That I'm on my way
I'm done living in the yellows
I said I'm on my way
I'm all pedal to the metal
I'm all green lights

'Cause I'm on my way
I said I'm on my way
