[Intro]
This is where I've been and how I got there
It's where I've been and how I got there
It's where I've been and how I got here
[Verse 1]
Wake up and navigate the obstacle course
Full of cracks in the pavement and the cops who show force
The energy efficient right shoulder lane traveler
Old school you can add it with an abicus
One set of tires bi-coastal symmetry
Up Ma** Ave then shoot down to 7th Street
Seeing things I hope I don't collide with
No fixed gear the hybrid is my sh**
Keep my eyes glued to the concrete
The planet moving backwards under my feet
From point A to B I couldn't even remember it
The engine came from the same place the helmet did
The helmet came from the place that don't remember it
The vicious cyclist who is cycling for the hell of it
No fashion
This is just pa**ion
Feeling fantastic
Weaving through the traffic
[Hook: Jade Ross]
Just because I don't drive doesn't mean I don't know
Red means stop and green means go
Yellow mean speed up before red shows
Take a breath reflect and let go
[Hook: Exposition]
You can't mask it
This is Traffic
Become elastic
In the Traffic
Everything happens
Inside the Traffic
Road-block up ahaead I speed past it
[Verse 2]
Like Ceasar on his chariot
I see the local myriad
Of neighborhoods places and this go on and bury it
In your newspaper if you have to
But Imma let em know what I've captured
It's not my home just the city where I float past
Power lines, aquaducts, and smoke stacks
Gangsters, hipsters, and old cats
Long Beach is the city where I wrote that
Where the kids in the street gotta hold that
Cuz they're daddy's at the pub getting tore back
And the mommies at the club doing toe taps
It makes me wonder where it is we left our soul at
I put my life in my hands every time that I ride
Moving many miles an hour little time to decide
With the traffic coming at me do I dip to the side
Or take a trip to that bicycle path up in the sky
[Hook: Jade Ross]
Just because I don't drive doesn't mean I don't know
Red means stop and green means go
Yellow mean speed up before red shows
Take a breath reflect and let go
[Hook: Exposition]
You can't mask it
This is Traffic
Become elastic
In the Traffic
Everything happens
Inside the Traffic
Road-block up ahaead I speed past it
[Verse 3: Jade Ross]
Time wasting
Contemplating
Going nowhere in a hurry
State of mind is early
This ma**ive attack
By law it's what we attract
Radio static
I'm a traffic addict
Spinning in a race of rats
Change lanes
Too fast to grasp
Hold to intentions
Cruising through dimension
Not to mention
War oil blood boil
Through my vain
To my tank
From my soul
To your bank
Who am I to thank you
Sitting next to
Who am I to thank you
Sitting next to
All alone
All alone
[Hook: Jade Ross]
Just because I don't drive doesn't mean I don't know
Red means stop and green means go
Yellow mean speed up before red shows
Take a breath reflect and let go
[Hook: Exposition]
You can't mask it
This is Traffic
Become elastic
In the Traffic
Everything happens
Inside the Traffic
Road-block up ahead I pedal past it
