White Light 03:12
Everyday trash spewing out the waterway Constantly flowing down I can’t stand the sight I see the way they bide, so sly It’s another white light Put the car in drive and I could roll all night I’m switching lanes and feeling loose I don't know why i tend to be a recluse I silently move on through Instead of way up I’m going down Tribulate in this situation for now until we’re back in the ground Step back sit down take a break It’s another white light Put the car in drive and I could roll all night I’m switching lanes making them nervous I dont know why i tend to be a recluse Either win or you lose, i’m not that used to it Deck the halls with malls for shopping May your days be all so monotonous Soon they will make their presence known to us And take us higher than we’ve ever been before It’s another white light Put the car in drive and I could roll all night I’m switching lanes making them nervous Oo I’m alive, check engine light i need some service I silently move on through It’s another white light Put the car in drive and I could roll all night I’m switching lanes making them nervous Oo I’m alive, check engine light’s been on for a while now I silently move on through

Fuel 02:22
I need fuel All these strange people that i run into They’re really bringing down my mood I’m running low on fuel Eyes like a serpentine, stone man Semi-sarcastic in his power stance With a cigar roller on staff I check the gauge and it looks like I’m on E Too long until the next service station Think i’m done I need fuel All these strange people and they’re all brand new They’re really bringing down my mood I’m running low on fuel I’ve been working day in, day out So why does my wallet feel so light? Feel so empty?

Better Way 02:22
When it’s been a slow day, oh yeah Sometimes it’s best to step away, that’s what they say There must be a better way, there must be a better way Sometimes you gotta step back and accept your fate Sometimes you gotta sit and wait I just wanted to walk among them like others did before It left me wondering There must be a better way better way oh yeah Left me wondering, pondering There must be a better way, there must be a better way It left me wondering There must be a better way, there must be a better way Sometimes it really just aint your day Sometimes you gotta get away You can't wait to win all of your money back And it kept making me wonder There must be a better way better way oh yeah Left me wondering, pondering There must be a better way, there must be a better way

Still 02:46
Still got the same clothes Still got the bloody nose Still on the way to nowhere Still on the way to the top but i'm crawling to get there Still got the same clothes Still got the fucked up nose Still on the way to nowhere I’m a human like you but I’m shined and bulletproof We lost him way too soon but he shines on through Fuckin’ it up in the crib sipping on 5 alive Wondering who I can and who I can’t rely on I was demoralized but then again it was a white night Little bit of turpentine never hurt anyone At least I don’t think so Still got the same clothes Still got the bloody nose Still on the way to nowhere Still on the way to the top but i'm crawling to get there Still on my way down

I was in that 2 star hotel I was stuck in my cell Looking like that Samara girl from the ring that was stuck way down in the well Long black hair and a pale face make you feel a little unwell Ain’t much time, 7 days is all I have, that’s what that phone call said 7 days and 6 nights I’ve seen the video and I won’t attempt to summarize My eyes glaze over Wonder what it felt like so deep down in the ground, so helpless I guess I’ll find out in a few days I was in the 2 star hotel I was stuck in my cell Looking like that Tabitha girl from the ring that was stuck way down in the well Long black hair and a pale face looking something like an eggshell Ain’t much time, 7 days is all I have, that’s what that phone call said I came out the door was immersed in Philadelphia The city of brotherly love was gripping me too hard ‘Cause when i was walking around I could feel everyone’s eyes upon me I'm rollin up as we speak stuck on the beach Pretty young thing with a tongue ring sucking her teeth Fuck on the sheets at the moesy woesy And when we chill at her spot she can't have no company She knew i made a hundred thousand out that comfort suite Why these n---- chasing clout i'm counting comfortably Ran that up steady climbing up that money tree Burning back to back backwoods ever so humbly Them other n---- ain't the one there's only one of me She told me money make her cum I told her come with me Money see money go might let her crumble me Baggin up in my honeycomb she my honeybee These n--- wanna be blocks they just some wannabes Bunch a fake thugs hoping blood flood my dungarees Really touched a hundred thousand out that comfort suite I let these n---- run they mouth while I run the streets I was in that 2 star hotel I was stuck in my cell Looking like that Samara girl from the ring that was stuck way down in the well Long black hair and a pale face make you feel a little unwell Ain’t much time, 7 days is all I have, that’s what that phone call said

Autopilot 02:30
Out in the desert up high I float along like a bug on the water And the wind slowly sighs I don’t lift weights but i’m a hell of a spotter About a baker’s dozen people packed up in this small van A half an ounce of og in my backpack Two packs of cigarettes and an inflatable raft And about a hundred dollars cash I hope I make something back This is how I spend my time Mounted the picture but it’s so lopsided And now I’m stuck in the backyard Feel like i’ve been stuck on autopilot I’m on highway 5 I slip around like a fish outta water The engine sputters out of time I think i’d either end up dead or a squatter I brought a baker’s dozen beers a 12 pack and a tall can A half an ounce of OG in my Jansport bag 2 packs of cigarettes and some debatable dabs I had almost nothing when I came back This is how I spend my time Mounted the picture but it’s so lopsided And now I’m stuck in the middle seat of economy Feel like i’ve been stuck on autopilot

Walnut 02:42
Self-service miles away I’m evidently running a little short on time I’ve got that engine humming Part of me doesn’t believe that we’ll make it But all of my premonitions seem dated Who better to criticize than a serial sadist? I’m waiting for the day until I die, will I finally see? Give all of it up, give it all up, give it up Give all of it up, give it all up, give it up Give a little more to the martian overlord All the people’s thoughts and their prayers do a lot Give a little more to the spaceman cowboy Give a little more to the pork store either or Synthesize some powder and you start yourself a drug way Give all of it up give it all up give it up Even when you win you gotta give some to the dealer Part of me doesn’t believe that we’ll make it But all of my premonitions seem dated Who better to criticize than a serial sadist? I’m waiting for the day until I die, will I finally see? Self-service miles away I’m evidently running a little short on time I’ve got that engine humming
