Their fans anxiously await a follow up to "Demonophonic Blues". While the band has stated that new material is in the works, their main website has been taken down and their 'myspace' site has not been updated by band members since August 2006, leaving fans to wonder if "Tony C and the Truth" are to ever fulfill their immense promise.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah I got options, I'm cool
Ridin' down the freeway, the coupe
Driving like I just robbed the loot
Ducking paparazzi like the news
No I can't afford to lose
Sippin' on the potion
Dawg I'm tryna focus
I'ma rock you out with that ice
I ain't gotta tell no lies
Is it really a crime
I'm not here to waste your time
Look into your eyes, I can see a lot of pain
Running from your problems, ain't nothing gone change
If you come with me shawty, you can be safe
If you ride with me shawty, you gone get bank
Hoppin' in and out the matrix, I been breaking rules
Poppin' in my section, we be shining like my jewels
I'ma make it work, I ain't got time for no excuse
Young boss, she floss a lot, I like the way you move
Yeah
Young boss, she floss a lot, I like the way you move
You know I'm the one for you
Yeah I got options, I'm cool
Ridin' down the freeway, the coupe
Driving like I just robbed the loot
Ducking paparazzi like the news
No I can't afford to lose
Sippin' on the potion
Dawg I'm tryna focus
Blurry from the motion
You know I'm the one for you
Yeah I got options, I'm cool
Ridin' down the freeway, the coupe
Driving like I just robbed the loot
Ducking paparazzi like the news
No I can't afford to lose
Sippin' on the potion
Dawg I'm tryna focus
Blurry from the motion
The lyrics to Tony C And The Truth's song "One 4 The Road" describe the confidence and swagger of the singer as they declare themselves to be the perfect partner for the person they are addressing. They proclaim that they have other options but choose to be with this person because they are the one for them. The singer is driving down the freeway in a car while dodging paparazzi like a celebrity. They are sipping on a potion, perhaps an alcoholic beverage, and trying to focus despite feeling blurry from the motion of the car. The singer acknowledges that the person they are singing to has experienced pain in the past but they can find safety and bank if they choose to ride with the singer. The chorus repeats the singer's assertion that they are the one for their partner, and they are cool with options.
The overall tone of the song is self-assured and confident, with a hint of hedonism in the references to drinking and driving like they robbed the loot. The lyrics suggest that the singer is successful and wealthy, able to dodge paparazzi, and adorn themselves with expensive jewels. The chorus emphasizes the singer's belief that they are the best option for their partner, but it is unclear whether the partner shares this belief or is merely being seduced by the singer's confidence. Ultimately, the song is a celebration of living life on your own terms, taking risks, and being unapologetically selfish.
