Safe Travels Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They never made it easy
Two tones, never home, always leaving
I rebel against shit that don't make sense
Like the times when I couldn't even make rent
Like that time when they took me for an asshole
"Oh, he's sad, just stuff him with some Paxil
Be glad, you're lucky you're a natural
Here's a couple pills for the road, safe travels"
I don't want your pills doc
Make the pills stop, think they made my skills drop
I was ill doc, now I'm too chill doc
Even when I'm way low, you know imma still drop
Still pop on the mic, call it "Reset"
I was down and out, fuck it I was depressed
I needed -, I was sleepless
Counting sheep, cause my dreams got repressed
What happened to my friends though
My girl left me, now we in the friends zone
Fuck a friend though, don't need a friend though
Thought you had my back, but you folded like a tent pole
Aye, don't play me like Nintendo
Your last chance, put the truth up in the tempo
Lets go, we've been kicking it like Kenpō
I don't dance, even when I'm in the end zone

I'm in the moment, I know I'm from the future though
Two tone rebel, catch me on the dark side
'Til I make them mother fuckers bounce
Keep a level head never tripping over fault lines
Two tone rebel, grays don't fade
They drone on, they drone on

Big brother in the sky trying to watch us get way high

Imma make it right, imma get it right
If I die tonight, know I went out with a mother fucking fight
Imma chase the win, if I lose it all
Imma hella star, fuck the devil, I'm a rebel with a cause
I don't need to ball, I just need to play
Just need a way, just need to say fuck the other lane
I'm in outer space, meaning that I'm safe, meaning I can play, play!
I can do it all, I can be the one
I can be the son to a father, or the father to a son
Not yet too young, see me when I'm older
Never preaching to the choir 'bout the fire that it moltens
They be talking the Y.O.L.O., I be sipping that solo
And spitting the shit that's hitting the speakers for my soldiers?

And for my soldiers, meet me and then you know me

See me and you've consoled me
Salute me and you're my homie

I'm in the moment, I know I'm from the future though
Two tone rebel, catch me on the dark side
'Til I make them mother fuckers bounce
Keep a level head never tripping over fault lines
Two tone rebel, grays don't fade




They drone on, they drone on
Big brother in the sky trying to watch us get way high

And spitting the shit that's hitting the speakers for my soldiers?
I am delivering a powerful message through my music to my listeners who support me


And for my soldiers, meet me and then you know me
When my supporters meet me, they will understand me better


See me and you've consoled me
When you see me, you comfort me


Salute me and you're my homie
If you show me respect, you are my friend

Lyrics:

--- [Intro?] ---
They never made it easy
Two tones, never home, always leavin'
I rebel against shit that don't make sense
Like the times when I couldn't even make rent
Like the time they took me for an asshole
Well he's sad, just stuff him with some Paxil
Be glad, you're lucky you're a natural
Here's a couple pills for the road, safe travels

--- [1st Verse] ---
I don't want your pills Doc
Make them pills stop, think they made my skills drop
I was ill Doc, now I'm too chill Doc
Even when I'm way low, you know imma still drop
Still pop on the mic, call it "Reset"
I was down and out, fuck it I was depressed
I needed - - -, I was sleepless
Countin' sheep cause my dreams got repressed
Hey, what happened to my friends though?
My girl left me, now we in the friendzone
Fuck a friend though, I don't need a friend though (?)
Thought you had my back, but you folded like a tent pole.
Hey, don't play me like Nintendo
Your last chance, put the truth up in the tempo
Let's go, we been kickin' it like kempo
I don't dance, even when I'm in the end zone

--- [Chorus] ---
I'm in the moment, I know I'm from the future though
Two tone rebel, catch me on "The Dark Side"
'til I make them mother fuckers bounce
Keep a level head, never trippin' over fault lines
Two tone rebel, grey's don't fade
They drone on, they drone on
Big brother in the sky tryin' to watch us get
Way high, way high, w-w-w-w inhale

--- [2nd Verse] ---
Imma make it right, imma get it right
If I die tonight know I went out with a motherfuckin' fight
Imma chase the win if I lose it all
Imma hella stall, fuck the devil I'm a rebel with a cause
I don't need to ball, I just need to play
Just need a way, just need to say 'fuck the other lane'
I'm in outer space, meanin' that I'm safe, meanin' I can play, play
I can do it all, I can be the one
I can be a son to a father or a father to a son
Not yet, too young 
See me when I'm older, never preachin' to the quire 'bout the fire that it (?)
They be talkin' that Y.O.L.O., I be sippin' that solo
And spittin' that shit that's hittin' the speakers in for my soldiers (?)
And for my soldiers, meet me and then you know me
See me and you console me
Salute me and you're my homie

--- [Chorus] ---
I'm in the moment, I know I'm from the future though
Two tone rebel, catch me on "The Dark Side"
'til I make them mother fuckers bounce
Keep a level head, never trippin' over fault lines
Two tone rebel, grey's don't fade
They drone on, they drone on
Big brother in the sky tryin' to watch us get
Way high, way high, w-w-w-w


The "(?)"s were when I wasn't exactly sure what he said
