[Intro]
I (I), I (I), I
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Uh, my first language live comfortable inside the fabric
Of church pews, I been firsthand to the magic
I grew up and took the wheel as soon as I could grab it
And tried to go straight to God, but got stuck in traffic
The pastor reach his hand out asking for my scraps
The glimmer of his watch blind me at the red light
His cardboard sign say, “Don’t rob the Lord”

The light turn green, I peel off and don’t think twice (Twice)
Don’t know if we’ll ever lock eyes again, but I don’t panic
I could never grieve what I left behind on purpose
You put GPS in the rear view and end up stranded
Abandon all theatrics so I can end up candid
Left me with a big ol’ gash and a big ol’ bandage
Swerving through the lanes, I’m clean, it ain’t no damage
Finding my own way, ain’t nothing I can’t manage (Manage)

[Chorus]
Or so I thought, or so I thought
Or so I
Or so I, yeah
Or so I
So I, so I, so I
I (I), I (I), I (I)
So I

[Verse 2]
Spent the last five years parked up in the shoulder
Living in the cold and sleeping in the backseat
I gave up on ignoring the pungent odor
Of greed and contradiction that lived in the asphalt of those streets
My family tree enjoy the smell, don’t think they’ll ever change
They still at the intersection and I didn’t understand

But if you keep making four right turns every single day
That could turn any worthless ass block into sacred land
Meanwhile, I sit freezing, living without an anchor
I value freedom over remembering the sun’s face
If the police pull me over and ask me, “Who’s my maker?”
It’s me, I’m Kittitian Jesus, get the fu*k out my way
From everything I gathered, God a poster child for 12
So I’d rather die here instead of being surveilled
Can’t control me, I know everything, It’s fu*k y’all spell
I’m planted right here from right now til’ my heart fail

[Chorus]
Or so I thought (I, I, I), damn
I’m on my way home
I’m on my way home (I, I)
I’m on my way home
I’m on my way home (I, I)

[Outro]
On my way (I), on my way (I), on my way (I)
On my way (I), on my way (I), on my way (I)
On my way (I), on my way (I), on my
Way (I), on my way (I), on my way (I), on my way (I)
On my way (I), on my way (I), on my way (I), I
Da-da, hmm
