LYRICS:
[INTRO]
City lights on the dash, yeah, I’m back (yeah)
Mind loud but the vibe too smooth to crash
[VERSE 1]
I been moving lowkey, no extra talk
Same dreams, new speed, see the way I walk
They was loud online, now they playin’ shy
I just stack time, let it multiply
Late nights, clear head, I don’t need a crowd
If it don’t bring peace, I’m cool without
Used to chase love, now I chase results
Pressure made diamonds, I’m proof of the salt
I don’t post pain, I just post plays
Small steps daily turn into big days
I learned real quick who was real for real
When the wins came slow but the bills stayed still
[HOOK]
I’m on a late night drive, tryna clear my mind
Windows down, let the stress fly (stress fly)
I don’t need no spotlight, I just need my time
Slow motion, but I’m next in line (next in line)
Yeah I’m good, I’m straight, I’m chillin’ I’m fine
I been locked in, I been on my grind (my grind)
Late night drive, tryna clear my mind
Same road, new me, different signs
[VERSE 2]
I don’t flex for attention, I flex for the proof
Came from “maybe” to “watch what I do”
They be actin’ like friends but they love the view
I keep love in my circle, it’s not for you
I got plans on plans, I don’t talk too much
Silence loud when you really in touch
I been buildin’ a lane, now it’s paved
If I said it once, then it’s saved
Energy sacred, I’m guardin’ my space
If it feel like a leak, I’m replacin’ the place
I don’t fold, I adapt, I evolve
Every L I took turned into solved
[BRIDGE]
Yeah… I had to learn it the hard way
Trust less, move smart, keep my heart safe
If it’s love, it’ll show, I don’t beg
If it’s fake, let it go, I’m ahead
[FINAL HOOK]
I’m on a late night drive, tryna clear my mind (clear my mind)
Windows down, let the stress fly (yeah)
I don’t need no spotlight, I just need my time
Slow motion, but I’m next in line
Late night drive, tryna clear my mind
Same road, new me, different signs
