Traffic
by Nomis, John Givez

Album: Socially Just

Verse 1:
If I could just change lanes, If I could get over, I know I can make it
If I could just change lanes, would you let me get over? You don't know whats at stake
If I could just get there. This meeting it happens in nine minutes
And im trying to prove to these nine cynics that if Im in it, we can finally silence the critics
If I could just get there. This always happens to me. Well if people could drive then I could just get there
If I don't get over this traffic will eat me alive
If I could just…..
If I could just make it up out of this traffic I could just…..
Forget it Im getting up out of this traffic
Im going to gas it, Im going to make this happen, shoulders open, move past fine
I can pass him, not going to brake or ask him, ive been late for the last time
And I swear ive missed or last date, and his last game
If I could just get to the fast lane, no longer neglecting the people who share my last name
And Im tired of these work trips. Every sunday working, wheres worship?
If I could hold it down in this meeting then Im going to move up and….that'll be perfect
If I could just…. If I could just make it up out of this traffic I could just….
If I could just make it up out of this traffic

Chorus:
(Trying to get away now)

Verse 2:
If I could just change things, if I could be bolder, I know I'll be free
If I could just change things, then when I get older, who knows what i'll be
I could do fashion. They sold my soul and they cashed in. The door is closed and they latched it
But I can get back to my parents if I could get passed it
I could just view the stars and soak in the light, at night in the bed
I never view the stars at night no instead, my light is red
If I could get passed this, for far too long it has lasted
The door is open they cracked it, by an accident, im coming home if I could get passed it
I could just….I could be anything I could be free, I could be anyone I could be me
I could be viewed as a person and not as a service, I could be seen
If I could just make it up out of this traffic I could just…..
Forget it im getting up out of this traffic
Im going to run, Im going to make a break for outside, thats going to make or break me out right
I'll hitchhike, when a car comes make them brake, thats my ride
Look at me run! Im going to conquer this obstacle, even though it seems impossible
If they catch me they'll stop me but right now a freeway is right in my opticals
Look it ive made it. Theres so many cars im elated
Just thinking how long that ive waited, for someone to come in and save me
For someone to come in and do something. Thats all over now, I see cars all over now
Theres one on the highway, coming my way on the shoulder. WOW!
He isn't stopping. He isn't seeing me, he isn't budging
Of course he don't see me, everyone doesn't
Thought "this my ticket to freedom", it wasnt
She just couldn't make it up out of this ….. no
She just couldn't make it up out of this traffic
