Nikes On

(album: Tungsten - 2021)

Why time got his Nikes on
Running so fast you gon' kill someone
And last time I checked who my friend is
Don't depend on a stimulant
And the daydreams sting like sunburn
Eighteen and ain't getting younger
Why time got his Nikes on
(Go)

What's the truth without someone to hear it?
What's a feeling without someone to feel it?
What's appealin'? Sleep in on the weekend
Home solo, spinning on the ceiling

And every day is the same
When the name of the game's
Break sweat to break even (yeah)
Tell fate hit the breaks
Man I'm done switching lanes
Just looking for a reason (for a reason)

Yeah, you call shotgun
And I'll sit in the back of my mind
Yeah, you prima donna
But don't kill my body high

Why time got his Nikes on
Running so fast you gon' kill someone
And last time I checked who my friend is
Don't depend on a stimulant
And the daydreams sting like sunburn
Eighteen and ain't getting younger
Why time got his Nikes on

Blue thoughts, double knots, don't trip
Slow pitch, love notes, lunch box, yeah
High five, up top, no watch
My time off-line, unlocked, yeah

Yeah, you call shotgun
And I'll sit in the back of my mind
Yeah, you prima donna
But don't kill my body high

Why time got his Nikes on
Running so fast you gon' kill someone
And last time I checked who my friend is
Don't depend on a stimulant
And the daydreams sting like sunburn
Eighteen and ain't getting younger
Why time got his Nikes on
