The Later It Gets

[Intro] Yeah... Late nights... long drives... You already know what it is [Verse 1] The later it gets, yeah the colder it feels City lights flicker while I'm gripping the wheel Had dreams in my head, now they turning to real Used to pray on a wish, now I'm making the deals Back when nobody cared, now they calling my line Funny how they appear when you starting to shine I was low in the dark, had to build me a climb Now I move through the night like I'm running the time Windows down, let the breeze hit my face Got the weight of the past but I'm keeping my pace Every scary, every loss had a role in the race Now I'm here, top tier, they just watching my place [Chorus] The later it gets, I don't sleep, I just ride Got my thoughts in the dark, let 'em drift with the night All the pressure I feel, yeah I carry it right Turn the pain into gold, now it shine in the light The later it gets, yeah I'm losing the fear All the doubts disappear when the vision is clear If they talking on me, I don't need them to hear I just keep it moving, I ain't stopping this year [Verse 2] I remember them days I was stuck in my head Now I'm stacking it up, everything that I said They was doubting the kids, now they watching instead Every move calculated, every step that I tread No brakes, just glide through the night like a ghost Had to learn on my own, I ain't needing a coach Now they raising a glass every time that I toast But they wasn't around when I needed it most Still calm, never loud, let the work make the sound Got the city on lock when I'm making my rounds From the bottom I came, now I'm holding the crown And the silence is loud when there's nobody around [Chorus] The later it gets, I don't sleep, I just ride Got my thoughts in the dark, let 'em drift with the night All the pressure I feel, yeah I carry it right Turn the pain into gold, now it shine in the light The later it gets, yeah I'm losing the fear All the doubts disappear when the vision is clear If they talking to me, I don't need them to hear I just keep it moving, I ain't stopping this year [Outro] Yeah... It's different when you really live it Late nights built this Now it's all coming back around
