lyrics

Verse 1:

Driving ‘round my old streets/
Stress relief, coolin’ out/
Might play a few demo’s when I cruise around/
Trying to prove to my girl that we’re moving out/

Riding ‘round with no seat belts/
Seats down I’m on cloud 9/
Death to all my innocence/
No fair trail - no alibi/

The anthem now for a problem child/
The answer for anyone who wanted out/
Poster boy for these misfits/
Artistic - my whole sound/

Which brand should I rock today?/
Young prince, that purple rain/
Young kids - they won’t get that/
But I get rap, like purple tapes/

Chorus x 1

Neon, Neon, Neon lights - what?/
Neon, Neon, Neon lights - Uhh/
Neon, Neon, Neon lights - what?/
Neon, Neon, Neon lights - Uhh/

Verse 2:

90’s child in APC’s/
Worked all week just to afford them/
I scrubbed walls, I mopped floors/
Sacrilege in my beaten Jordan’s/

This highway ain’t got our answers/
In this mindstate, I’ll take my chances/
This hometown’s grown sort of average/
‘Cos this rap dreams like a foreign language/

Frustrated youth, frustrated youth/
Fading slow, but I made it through/
Better take a breathe, we’re falling fast/
But this buzz of mine? Straight through the roof/

She takes the wheel, while I change songs/
Chain smoke in Saint Laurent/
Laying low, near Neon lights/
Then park the ride, where it’s closed off/

Chorus x 1
