[Intro: Sample]
We've got 90% of the market out there that we can somehow turn into automobile users
If we can eliminate the rail alternative, we can create a new market for our cars
[Verse: Luke Norris]
Uh, yeah
Hour-long commute it's a blessing and a curse
Started blasting music once I put that in reverse
Little bit of chance you may wind up in a hearse
But I find some inner peace on the best days and the worst
James Donlon to Buchanan to Kirker to Treat
Seven days a week, yeah I put that on repeat
If it's a good mood, know who I could turn to
Freddie, Denzel, Kendrick
Most of all MF DOOM
When the wheels spinnin' and I'm in my feels again
Saba, Tyler, Cole, maybe Ye now and then
CARE FOR ME carefully carried me through these tough times
Provided me with clarity, I'm cherishing these punchlines
All this music while I'm driving, it's my chance to practice
While I'm vibin' I'm still thinking, "Man I gotta match this"
My goal to memorize these albums
So I could hear it in my head and never am without them
Without this music would I be the same person? Probably not
I take the key out the ignition and it's oddly hot
Honda in the garage, formerly its Molly spot
Return to normalcy, but alone an awful lot
In the driver's seat, sit in the dark once I put it in park
But I've only been a novice since last August
This pandemic shut down driving lessons and I needed three
Had gotten two before they stopped it, are you kidding me?
Mom and I took four trips to the DMV
With wait times longer than for TDE
If Newsom ever says something, it's the opposite
Six-month extension on permits, that's inoperative
I look at public transit hampered by conglomerates
General Motors and Ford, they preponderant
I see high-speed rails like in Asia and Europe
Transportation evolves, no longer buggies or stirrups
And one more thing to mention 'fore I go
I be singing these songs and you ought to know
What some white kids rappin' when they all alone
"It's what the artist says, honestly c'mon bro"
You can't forget your race and try to act slick
'Cause if you pulled over, you remember that quick
And that's systemic, just check the statistics
Symptom of disease, and injustice the sickness
[Outro: Luke Norris and Sample]
This is the first song I've ever recorded in a car
And honestly way better than a bedroom
Highly, highly recommend
Aight, I'm out
This is a story about how things got the way they are
Why sitting in stalled traffic seems perfectly natural
Why our public transportation is the worst in the industrialized world
And why super highways cut right through the hearts of our cities
This is a story about how the auto and highway industries reshaped America
We've got 90% of the market out there that we can somehow turn into automobile users
If we can eliminate the rail alternative, we can create a new market for our cars
