Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Hmm, yeah
[Verse 2]
Straighter roads are up ahead
Play it safe, no sudden breaks, ay
Straighter roads are up ahead
Ooh, soon there'll be no stop lights on red
Yeah, soon there'll be no dark clouds ahead, ay
[Verse 3]
We're headin' the direction fo redemption
Keep your eyes open for the force
Who don't wanna see no elevation
They'll do anythin' to keep you low
So they keep us spinnin' on the highway
Skiddin' down the ice age
Oh, gotta stay calm to gain control
'Cause accidents are plenty, ha
Lanes are never empty, oh
But at least they're movin' slow
[Verse 4]
In a twinkle of an eye you might be surprised
And when you least expect, opportunities arise
For you to flourish and shine
And make way for others
Ay, the we pretend is the more we get out of line
So no givin' up
[Verse 5]
Straighter roads are up ahead
Oh, play it safe, no sudden breaks
No, no
Straighter roads are up ahead
Ooh, soon there'll be no stop lights on red, ay
Soon there'll be no dark clouds ahead
[Verse 6]
Pressures of the world wants you to break down
It's a shake down
Never keep a problem on your head
No tread, no tread
What happen to the people's declaration?
And the freedom fighters who have bled?
We're here
[Verse 7]
Their words forever echo
Biddin' us to never let go, oh
Of our dignity and thoughts
With the will to survive against all odds
Is one and all
So rekindle your hopes of victory
So, so, so
[Verse 8]
Straighter roads are up ahead
You're gonna break safe, no sudden breaks
No, no, no, no
Straighter roads are up ahead
Oh, soon there'll be no stop lights on red
[Verse 9]
Straighter roads, up we go
You play it safe, oh, yeah
Straighter roads are up ahead
Yeah, soon there'll be no stop lights on red
Yeah, soon there'll be no dark clouds ahead, ay
[Verse 10]
The straighter roads
(There'll be no stop lights on red)
You gotta let me go
Straighter, hey
(Soon there'll be no dark clouds ahead)
Bring me you
Yeah, yeah
