Car Ride Lyrics

Hey Mr. Officer please let me be

I'm just a black man tryna' make it to 23

We beat the same heart and we bleed the same blood

So besides the way we look what's the difference in you and me? Like

Hey Mr. Officer please give me a break

There's only so much that a soul can possibly take

I wish you would make sense of the reason for all yo' hate

But my plate is full gotta get going can't end up late like

Listening to "Calligraphy"

Killing demons with Saba

Easily ease my soul

And make me dancing like Samba

All of the weight is on me

I'm feeling just like Mufasa

Long live the king

Who seen things

Up to 18

And still dream

'Bout a future without green

Like that is not the sole purpose

When I'm writing down verses

And going to these rehearsals

And late night studio visits

And tryna' pivot my social

And really tryna' stay hopeful

That in the end they actually get what I was tryna' say

So when they say, "You coming?" I say ,"I ain't got time to play"

'Cause I got lives to change

And I got hope to give

They be like have some fun

Like bro you still a kid

Mama say release pressure you to serious

Then my heart and mind intertwine with mysterious cosmos

Which turns into the blessed gift that we call life

But it's alright

Hey Mr. Officer please let me be

I'm just a black man tryna' make it to 23

We beat the same heart and we bleed the same blood

So besides the way we look what's the difference in you and me? Like

Hey Mr. Officer please give me a break

There's only so much that a soul can possibly take

I wish you would make sense of the reason for all yo' hate

But my plate is full gotta get going can't end up late like

Listening to "Amphetamine" fighting spirits with Smino

Try to better my mood, throw on some Childish Gambino

Starting to see the cracks through the paint little do he know

Demons be fiending

Running amuck

Curses be nucking and bucking

I just be running and ducking and diving

Cutting and shucking and jiving rugs

Tryna' get to the plug

Tryna' get to the source of the power from up above

Make everybody smile but nobody showing me love

Fighting back the pain, negativity and the sorrow

Just keep going keep on fighting don't forget to breathe

Put my hand up just to see the light of tomorrow

When I isolate my heart the only time I hear it beat

So every time you feel like you no longer able to fight

Just remember that the darker the dark the brighter the light

Just relax lift your head spread your wings and soar

Because you may have lost some battles but you're gonna win the war

Sage
