Lovely Night

It got me playing, the wind behind my back,

Overcome the obstacle, a stumbling block

I mix em up, new and classic,

Music is my drug; I'm an addict

Strap it everywhere I go,

Blast it as everything explodes

 

The highways packing, people overcrowding

Taking the back road find me swerving,

Don't make the wrong turn;

Life fast pace, let that rubber burn;

Going to the point of no return;

 

Tonight I'm making it right,

chugging my Coors lite citrus,

Scarlet Knight liquors,

Taking it by night and day,

Watching the stars flicker,

Waiting for better days;

Hoping life a little brighter

 

Tonight's a lovely night, -

I'm driving solo, -

from the city to the borough, -

Mindset like a rough rider, -

Wild western gunslinger drifter -

 

Drive early to see the sunshine,

Feel the changed heart of an imprisoned man,

Free behind prison bars

 

Easy life isn't for me,

Fuck the sleazy way,

Make no little plans;

They have no magic;

To Stir Men's Blood;

I don't mind being in the crud;

My hands get dirty,

Never see me leaning,

Constantly hustling,

I'm after green and silver,

Baby steps till I'm golden,

No shortcut on the Gordian Knot,

Not content with the cup given

But I understand my lot,

A slice of the pie has a shelf life,

Won't take my time

 

Only time will tell,

Tomorrow, might be the last track,

And Today Was Alright,

Surprised, how things just go about,

The world will go on turning,

As I keep walking, keep running,

Keep an open mind,

 

Tonight's a lovely night, -

I'm driving solo, -

from the city to the borough, -

Mindset like a rough rider, -

Wild western gunslinger drifter -

 

Drive early to see the sunshine,

Feel the changed heart of an imprisoned man,

Free, behind prison bars

 

I don't want to find God,

As I feel my body gives,

Can't bring myself to my knees,

Angry with everything I've seen,

The crimes and victims go full circle,

Wonder why they're pointing fingers,

 

My young heart is dying,

With my mind I keep testing,

Till the day I'm resting,

Until then I'll keep on playing,

Forever hooked on this rapping,

Cause self expression is key,

Can't let life get dry and get to me
