[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 [Outro]
