Chorus

Taxi, take me to California

And don’t stop until we hit the border

I wanna see how fast your wheels skate away

And if not then take me to New Orleans

Don’t stop until we hit the corner

Of Magazine & 8^th

Let’s skate away

-

High score holder and all familiar to this losin’ game

Even face to face when we fail to communicate

We exchange shootin’ for each other’s heart for shooint’ blame

And I don’t have the time to watch her try and drag me through the shame

Through the flames I’ve been walkin’, student loans defaulted

Jugglin’ a tour bus and attention spans’ gone despondent

Mom won’t let it be, I tell her wait ‘til the release

I’ll pay her back ten-fold when washin’ dishes won’t appease

Words won’t give her peace, so I stare at the calendar

And plot my date with Los Angeles to crash land the burbs

Hell or Glory- I’ll have nothin’ inbetween

And you’ll stand by it too the day you get used to losin’ everything

And while these rappers make shift and ain’t sayin’ shit

Actin’ outta anger like it’s somethin’ brand new strange or dangerous

They aim just to aim, and won’t aim to hit

When you play love for somethin’ you don’t get, but somethin’ you get away with

Chorus

I speak in the open what their voices won’t let go of

And wouldn’t think to whisper within a workin’ sober moment

I don’t need to blackout to tell her her chances are assed out

And I’m leavin’ with my dignity, skim milk and the damn couch

So, while my peers makin’ babies, workin’ 8 to 6 dailies

I see the life of the North American Dream slowly fade

So, I’m givin’em what their salaries could never buy:

Fire, in a tunnel so far gone without the light

It’s well known the journey into the unknown is nothin’ nice

Grown accustomed to smile and nod, and love the lies

And I would’ve joined the party, but this sound check sufficed

And I still know too many cats that’re quick to say fuck ya life

But still go on when their pride’s too afraid

And try and carry the load when pens won’t move the weight

Broken every single mold that wouldn’t suit their shape

And would lose their mind before they lose their faith- I’m sayin

Chorus

I know they say wherever you are, indeed there you are, but

I wanna step over their status quo and expectations like a low bar, yes

I know they say wherever you are, indeed there you are, but

I know this thing can go further than only so far, yes

Chorus
