Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You see, I wake up every mornin', tie my sneakers
Walk down the block, do exactly as the beat does, bob to it
Pop and lock to it, fuck it up, rock to it
Bring that feelin' back, the soul in a track
From those summers in the city when it's hot on the block
Music so loud it's drownin' out your voice when you talk
To those winters in the city when it's brick ass cold
Steam is risin' off your dome when you projectin' them flows
Still outside, feel that vibe, it's so complete
Experiencin' memories that make us unique
And how you translate 'em, abstract the verbatim
Life's the only option when death's the ultimatum
So what, you wanna light saber or a Garcia Y Vega
Are sendin' to your heights a-wastin' all your light tonight
Get out the crib and help the people unite
Or just lively up yourself and do some shit that you like
[Verse 2]
Step outside, don't matter if you're chillin' or you're fly
Let's take the train or the bus or the whip and just glide
It's a beautiful day, no need to stay inside
'Cause everybody likes a joy ride
Step outside, don't matter if you're chillin' or you're fly
Let's take the train or the bus or the whip and just glide
It's a beautiful day, no need to stay inside
'Cause everybody likes a joy ride
[Verse 3]
Mic check, yep, yep, yo
[Verse 4]
Ain't no tellin' where we go and when we zone in
Maybe even take you back to times of ancient Rome'n
Or ride a thought like a jigga-watt  into the future
So inspired we could try out all of these maneuvers
As the scenery floats by, the buildin's look so fly
You better give him back his toy or else that kid gon' cry
Mothers and sons, everyone from old to young
The spectrum of life, the cities shown with decadent lights
The nightfall is a mysterious thing
I would say the moon illuminates the spirits within
The city of sin, you're feelin' comfortable in your skin
Everybody, gather 'round and let the madness begin
My assessment with smoke and refreshments
Antidepressants  and harsh life lessons
I think we all can see the stars above the sorrow
Let's meet again and do this shit tomorrow, tomorrow
[Verse 5]
Step outside, don't matter if you're chillin' or you're fly
Let's take the train or the bus or the whip and just glide
It's a beautiful day, no need to stay inside
'Cause everybody likes a joy ride
Step outside, don't matter if you're chillin' or you're fly
Let's take the train or the bus or the whip and just glide
It's a beautiful day, no need to stay inside
'Cause everybody likes a joy ride
[Verse 6]
Step outside, don't matter if you're chillin' or you're fly
Let's take the train or the bus or the whip and just glide
It's a beautiful day, no need to stay inside
'Cause everybody likes a joy ride
Step outside, don't matter if you're chillin' or you're fly
Let's take the train or the bus or the whip and just glide
A beautiful day, no need to stay inside
'Cause everybody likes a joy ride
