Automatic
Brandon Rogers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to make something happen
Looking for cheers
But all I hear is laughing
When I?m just trying to play this game
The only way that I know how
Getting stuck in the back
When you were made for the front
But it fills my needs?
Gas, Food, and Electricity
Now, I?m not complaining
I?m just saying I know where I wanna be
The money and fancy cars
Don?t make us who we are
No, They don?t define me
I just wanna do what I do
Chorus
This is automatic
I wanna take the wheel and drive
I feel it so deep I don?t want the back seat anymore
This is automatic
I wanna take the wheel and drive
I?m taking over pull over
Cause now it?s my time to shine
Y?all, let me tell you life is crazy
When you be out on that road
And you ain?t never got nothing to show for it
Cause it?s always someone else
Walking off with everything
I know they work hard, but so do I
And I want my piece of the pie
And I?m taking it
You couldn?t stop me if you tried
I just wanna live my life
For me and only me
I know it might sound like it, but?
be Section
Automatic (con?t)
Chorus
Bridge
My wheels are spinning
Won?t you put me on the road
I?m moving forward
And I?ll never slow
This is my only chance
My opportunity
Won?t you let be me?

Been jumping through hoops
I have been trying very hard
Trying to make something happen
I am trying to achieve something
Looking for cheers
I want people to support me
But all I hear is laughing
Instead, they are mocking me
When I'm just trying to play this game
I am simply trying to do my best
The only way that I know how
I am doing it in my own way
Getting stuck in the back
Being overlooked and undervalued
When you were made for the front
Despite having great potential
Is more frustrating than you would believe
It is very disheartening
But it fills my needs? Gas, Food, and Electricity
I am making enough to survive
Now, I'm not complaining
I am not whining
I'm just saying I know where I wanna be
I have a clear goal in mind
The money and fancy cars
Wealth and luxury items
Don't make us who we are
They do not define our character
No, They don't define me
I am more than my possessions
I just wanna do what I do
I simply want to pursue my passion
This is automatic
It comes naturally to me
I wanna take the wheel and drive
I want control of my life
I feel it so deep I don't want the back seat anymore
I am determined to be in charge
I'm taking over pull over Cause now it's my time to shine
I am seizing my opportunity to succeed
Y'all, let me tell you life is crazy
Life can be unpredictable
When you be out on that road
When you are pursuing your dreams
And you ain't never got nothing to show for it
Despite your efforts, you have nothing to prove for it
Cause it's always someone else walking off with everything
Others seem to reap the rewards of your hard work
I know they work hard, but so do I
I also put in the effort
And I want my piece of the pie
I deserve my share of success
And I'm taking it
I am determined to achieve it
You couldn't stop me if you tried
I am unstoppable
I just wanna live my life for me and only me
I want to pursue my own interests
I know it might sound like it, but?
It may seem selfish, but
My wheels are spinning
I am making progress
Won't you put me on the road
Allow me to continue pursuing my goals
I'm moving forward
I am progressing
And I'll never slow
I will not give up
This is my only chance
I have one opportunity to succeed
My opportunity
My moment to shine
Won't you let be me?
Please allow me to be myself
