[Verse 1: Int 80] Hit the road, get on my lifeline, touch down, reset Just gotta get in my right mind Every second is prime time along for the ride When this body's my vehicle I'ma thrive mine Lights in the tunnel, illuminate the skyline A green metal scene not a dream but a pipe climb (?) Witness the journey of a lifetime So much struggle but it's relative, Einstein Going in circles, trying to find the right sign A one way ticket, we couldn't book it on priceline My rearview is clear view in front of me my eyes blind Shouldn't be driving it in the night time Easily lost and more easily scared With the shadows from the bright lights And high beams glare Thick like the fog but cut it by doubting fear Then you defrost the windows Everything becomes clear See here, opportunities still appear Same trips but the brand new flavor in your ear More than a d**h tax year after year If there's only one shot then it's more than a career (yeah) Wrong turns and there's no going back No slack intact detour after the fact that Sometimes GPS got in on tack but if only I could navigate life With Google Maps like that (right turn ahead) [Hook] Welcome to your life, welcome to this road The path's uncharted, gotta choose where you go On this one way show, please pay the toll With your hands on your wheel, got a name take control Welcome to your life, welcome to this road The path's just started, gotta choose where to go On this one way show, relax, take it slow (it's the return of the drifter) [Verse 2: Int 80] This goes out to my people everywhere Who are suffering endure more than their fair share The other kids at school made fun of what you wear Gym cla** picked last and never the best player The resistor, it's the, drifter Mister, inter-rupt eighty just a descriptor Table in his table so I spit a little quicker To deliver all the syllables Advanced to beginner didn't skip ya This is for the new kids Band nerds, chess clubs that never met Cupid Every day feeling so intrusive Past, present, and future all inclusive Understand that they just got it wrong In the zone or at home somewhere you belong They put you in that cage full of rage King Kong Claiming you were weak but inside so strong Thinking back remembering the dread How you hated weekdays lay awake in bed How you clutched at your sanity by a thin thread Wishing that your enemies had just been friends Cause this is your time so they're in debt For stealing all your shine made it hell instead You had the answers they're not impressed Embarra**ed and distressed about your interests [Hook] Welcome to your life, welcome to this road The path's uncharted, gotta choose where you go On this one way show, please pay the toll With your hands on your wheel, got a name take control Welcome to your life, welcome to this road The path's just started, gotta choose where to go On this one way show, relax, take it slow (it's the return of the drifter) [Verse 3: Int 80] This one's for everyone, in no way political Fine, just a little bit consider it municipal Brushed off the critical defied all the ridicule Denied every opporunity to make you miserable This one's for you in the physical You in the digital, you all together indivisible You atypical, you are original Who severed the umbilical you the individual Now take a look at you, see it in the clear?
