lyrics

I've been riding around moving work all day
I feel like I'm on top of the world now
Got a girl by my side riding on the highway
I feel like I'm never gonna come down
Never gonna come down
Never gonna come down

Cross country trip
Had some pounds up in the whip
I was getting ready to flip
For some cash I could grip
When I saw them lights flashing
I knew it was a wrap
Highway patrol
With the K-9 in the back
Searching my car and I’m getting arrested
The universe testing me sending a message
But I ain’t confessing to more than possession
They're taking my weed and they treat it like crack
Checking me in and they taking my fingerprints
Guilty until proven innocent
I was on the edge I was living it
But now it’s a cell that I’m sitting in
Stuck in jail till I posted bail
Then I found my car
Now I got my lawyer telling me
That I could catch a charge
I guess that’s just the price you pay
When you’re living large
Now it’s either gripping microphones
Or prison bars
One year later got the P.O. knocking on my door
I ain’t slipping up
Cuz I know that’s what their watching for
But when I go to sleep I’m still having dreams that

I've been riding around moving work all day
I feel like I'm on top of the world now
Got a girl by my side riding on the highway
I feel like I'm never gonna come down
Never gonna come down
Never gonna come down

I remember when I went out
Everything was sunken I was let down
Had to learn to live for my best
Everyday was a threat
And I stressed but I made it bounce
Couldn’t die had to rise too alive
Seen a knife never mind
Not strong enough to cross that line
Man I knew my life had strong ties
One way or another
I’m gonna a conquer
Even if it take a long time
In my head traveling through thick and thins
Gotta make that money man
Yo my debts were not glamorous
Thousands on thousands owed
Still tryna make my music pop
Real life can get dangerous
And we are not no movie props
Had to blast back to the top
Working for my only shot
Walking miracle ok I kid you not
Matter fact what I knew before
Is left back in the fog
I am never going back I’m with the stars

I've been riding around moving work all day
I feel like I'm on top of the world now
Got a girl by my side riding on the highway
I feel like I'm never gonna come down
Never gonna come down
Never gonna come down
