Kamwroteit - Detours lyrics

{verse 1:} Speeding up the road to success Thinking this ain’t take long Bust a couple of them slight turns Uhauls how we move on Then we take it up to the house Bank accounts, taboo amounts Having everything we prayed about And thanking god that we made it out But i forgot who was really driving Came thru, he was really sliding Rolled up in the whitest ghost, it was beautiful but still death defying Out the window, yelled "hop in" **** i guess shotgun it is Then he said, you better listen close this the one time you gon' hear it We gon' bust this left, then we gon' bust this right, ok? We might get into a couple wrecks but on me you’ll be ok Gonna drive you right thru the rain, i know you can’t see but we safe And the wipers need to be changed, so excuse me if i swang If we hydroplane, don’t trip just enjoy it while we slide off We hitting every pothole just to knock all of these leeches off You said you want what i got for you, did you really lose what you lost If i replenish you 10 fold for all the pain that it cost {hook:} I’ve been riding thru these detours Always find myself knocking on these locked doors Thought this was the right path but now i’m unsure Sitting still on these city streets Swear traffic just might be the death of me On these detours Dodging potholes taught me timing But still offset my spiritual alignment Been swerving thru these city streets Swear hazard lights might be the death of me {bridge:} Ain’t no shortcuts on this journey to life Way we flying thru the streets i thought it's a flight Ain’t no way i’m perfect, god and i done had fights Cause i thought that i knew the way, but tweaked a few times {verse 2:} Couple times i tried to grab the wheel Telling god bout my whip appeal Thinking he might listen Only says lean back it’s time to heal Now we hopping on the e way Memory lane for my e-scape I'm reading all of these signs that we passing, lettin’ me know we in shipshape Parking lot pimpin' we curbside Everything startin' to subside Everything i said i wanted in reach, i can see with a bird’s eye So why we start pullin' off the lot He told me he knew everything that he got Said it might be a lil mo that’s in stock So one more time, let’s circle the block Riding around we roll, tires they coughing up smoke Burning rubber, but you know how that go God made a left, then he bust a right, where we headed i don’t know Running thru all of these red lights, talking bout "you right on time" Parked the whip sideways, told me "get out" i’m seeing headlines {verse 3:} Crazy how i thought i was lost, on this journey for me Feel like oncoming traffic, on a one way street Becoming who i need to be, so i can do what i do Cause i been playing, but now it’s time for me to do what i do Hold on let me set the record straight, this ain’t no type of child’s play Tryna get paid twice over, talking like shawn carter and jay I wasn’t thinking bout nun of this Going thru all of that stupid **** But i gained more than what it cost And the whole time i thought i was lost {hook:} I’ve been riding thru these detours Always find myself knocking on these locked doors Thought this was the right path but now i’m unsure Sitting still on these city streets Swear traffic just might be the death of me On these detours Dodging potholes taught me timing But still offset my spiritual alignment Been swerving thru these city streets Swear hazard lights might be the death of me
