Stay in Ya Lane! (Traffic Reflections) Lyrics

Like a cup holder, I'm all about change, but stay in your lane or put on your blinker

Cause personal growth is not the same as being an impatient or envious thinker

Like why they gotta fast pass when I'm driving ten miles an hour on this freeway through some

Broken glass, irritably my sense of entitlement asks

Guess it's cause my hope just crashed and there's a massive pile up in the rearview

Of failures from my past

Thus, I'm finding it harder and harder to be a dreamer, caught up rather in this cycle

Of compare and contrast

I suppose you can call me an irregular sleeper, but I'm just woke

Buzzed off caffeine with no creamer, a Red Bull with coke

Thanks to no-dose and Aquafina, I'm conscious, just like any other bloke, who's informed

But ineffective

It's a setup just like any other joke

Powerless peddling the propaganda of self and social justice, knowing he don't want

No smoke

Useless, using unity fluently as a front, employing empty rhetoric frequently instead

Of a real action

It's a stunt, and to be perfectly blunt, it's pointless to have principles so remote

That's like leaving your keys in the trunk and not your coat

Not helpful

It's lightweight, hypocritical

Where you think you're gonna go

Reflecting on these faux-revolutionaries really got me hot

Had to roll my windows down, they bugging the wipers to make them stop

Such fraud is really something

Then again, it's really not

It's counterfeit, but seems legit

Gotta pay attention to pay the toll, concentrate, don't take that road

Focus

That's no Tesla, it's a Ford

Ain't no self-driving innovation, touchscreen on inner motivation on board

Never mind something for the people

They tend to do the most on the outside when inside they're feeling feeble

And to be honest, it'd probably take a whole paint job before they truly start feeling

Equal

Shoot

Self-hate is a stubborn and self-perpetuating evil, while vanity is versatile

Yet if the journey to wholeness is personal, then who you racing

And why let it drain you

I know, I know, second-hand energy can seem amazing, but what you filling up on once you

Get to that charging station

In other news, I'm still waiting

Been sitting at the same spot for an hour

Wow

Guess ain't no such thing as a fast lane

And now with apps and social media, it's easier to complain

Check alternative routes, shout and upload gigabytes for fame

Car selfies and car moves, car playlists, audio books and cartoons

Look to my left and it's this cat singing to YouTube

Nodding his head, talking about carpool don't care

With a bumper sticker to red, I look cool, but don't stare

And that's fair, until you're stranded

At the center divide of life, while looky-loos slowly drive by repeatedly, but we know opportunity

Seldom strikes twice

So I put on my hazard lights and call AAA for advice

They say wait 40 minutes until they on their way

Then had to wait 40 more minutes just to get from the exit to the street all in one day

I'm beginning to look at my time like it's being wasted, but forget, I could spend hours

On my timeline, locking pics and reading statements

Until I slam on the brakes, looking down and living dangerous

I throw up my hands at those in front of me feeling anxious

They just stop to the green light, right by where insurance deductibles get vanquished

With no apology in sight

I honk, cause I know who to blame

I cuss and with carefully constructed insults take aim

They can't hear me though and that's lame

I criticize cause compassion is nowhere near as sexy as a sign in shame

So I stay in my lane since states of mind sometimes can be some of the hardest things

To change

It's an emotional exchange, navigating through disappointment and rage or sadness at each

Stage

Nevertheless, joy and amusement exist just outside that cage

Remember like Marvelous, it's just a phase

You ain't gotta stay in your lane, but get out the way, even your own

Don't worry though, I ain't saying I arrived, I'm just another weary traveler trying to

Make his way home

But also, enjoy the ride
