[Intro - low tone] (engine rev, seatbelt chime) (yeah… late night) 2:24 on the dash again City lights on the glass again [Verse 1 - calm but firm rap] You said I changed, yeah I did I stopped thinking small, got big You wanted nights and reassurance I wanted ownership, not rent You wanted calls before I sleep I’m up 4AM chasing dreams You said love supposed to feel safe I said pressure make diamonds, not peace We had talks that went nowhere You cried, I just stared You asked if you mattered to me I said yeah… just not more than what I’m 'bout to be I almost stayed when you grabbed my coat Hand on the door, heart in my throat But I know what happens if I don’t go now I’ll wake up 30 with regrets I wrote [Pre-Chorus - melodic] Phone buzzing face down beside me You still hitting my line, I see One turn and I’m back at your place But the highway calling my name [Hook - strong autotune] You want love, I want legacy You want us, I got destiny Every mile putting space in between But I swear you still ride with me I can’t stop now I’m locked in Dreams don’t wait, no option If I lose you chasing my name Then that’s just part of the cost then (damn…) (yeah…) [Verse 2 - harder tone] I remember being broke as hell Now opportunities ring my cell Funny how people believe in you Soon as the numbers start to tell You wanted time, I needed motion I’m building waves, you wanted ocean You fell in love with potential me I’m turning into the one I told you Your text saying “you don’t care” That shit hit but I still didn’t turn Cause nobody coming to save my life If I don’t go get the life I earned Success feel cold some nights I admit Empty passenger seat and shit Whole city know my name one day But the only one missing the trip is you [Hook - autotune] You want love, I want legacy You want us, I got destiny Every mile putting space in between But I swear you still ride with me I can’t stop now I’m locked in Dreams don’t wait, no option If I lose you chasing my name Then that’s just part of the cost then [Bridge - minimal drums, sax] (soft saxophone) Maybe in five years we meet again I pull up different than way back then Maybe you smile, maybe you don’t Maybe I finally feel something then I ain’t leave cause I didn’t care I left cause I was almost there Some people love you for who you are Some only fit who you were back there [Final Hook - emotional autotune] You want love, I want legacy You wanted now, I see long term I traded comfort for a chance at a life And yeah that shit still burn I can’t stop now I’m locked in No reverse on this road I’m in If I make it and you ain’t there That’s the price of the goals I picked (outro adlibs) (still think about you…) (late night…) (engine fades)
