Lyrics
[Verse 1]
9-5, tryna get away
I'm looking forward, ignoring the lanes
I ain't focused on the innerstate
Tears dry in the wind 'fore they hit my face
Tryna hide how I feel today
But I'm a man, hold it in
'Cause the real ones don't cry anyway
Right, don't cry anyway
[Verse 2]
I don't let go, I just hold on
And it's starting to take a toll on me, though
Can't stop, paid too much in the past
For the baggage dreams, so I hit the road, then I'm gone
I don't look back, I just roll on
1-0-5 on the dash
Eyes closed waiting to come back from the crash
Eyes closed and I'm never looking back, no
[Verse 3]
9-5, tryna get away
I'm looking forward, ignoring the lanes
I ain't focused on the innerstate
Tears dry in the wind 'fore they hit my face
Tryna hide how I feel today
But I'm a man, hold it in
'Cause the real ones don't cry anyway
Right, don't cry anyway
[Verse 4]
So much for living, so much for being fearless
So much for moving, what happened to ya healing?
I can't seem to pull myself together
Seems like I'm Mr. Puzzle, am I undone forever?
How do I survive the problems inside?
Tried a thousand times, I fail every time
I can't stop, I'm in life too deep
Moving up too fast, forgetting the old me, going
[Verse 5]
9-5, tryna get away
I'm looking forward, ignoring the lanes
I ain't focused on the innerstate
Tears dry in the wind 'fore they hit my face
Tryna hide how I feel today
But I'm a man, hold it in
'Cause the real ones don't cry anyway
Right, don't cry anyway
