    Lyrics
    I don’t need the fastest route
    I need the right one
    
    No detours, straight line pressure
    If it bends, I bend better
    No detours, pace stays measured
    I don’t rush it, I remember
    
    I don’t flinch at the map when it narrows the lane
    I been calm in the quiet, that’s where I was trained
    Every turn got a cost, I been counting the fee
    They been swerving for hype, I been sharpening me
    I don’t pivot for praise, I don’t stall for regret
    I don’t circle the block just to say I was next
    If the road tests patience, I pass it with breath
    I don’t ask for permission, I align
    
    No detours, straight line pressure
    If it bends, I bend better
    No detours, pace stays measured
    I don’t rush it, I remember
    
    Trip-wire thoughts, I step clean
    Break it down, then I move mean
    Triplets talk when the beat lean
    Silence loud, that’s the cue scene
    I don’t need every light green
    I don’t need them to get me
    If the path gets restrictive
    I get narrow and deadly
    
    Everybody wants momentum
    Few respect direction
    Speed without intention
    Is just motion wasting seconds
    
    I was tempted by skips, by the shine of the cheat
    But the long way built traction, put steel in my feet
    They confuse being busy with actually moved
    I been still when it mattered, that stillness improved
    I don’t chase every window that flashes my name
    I don’t fold when the shortcut promises fame
    I let discipline talk when the volume dips
    That’s the grip
    
    Straight lines don’t mean easy
    They mean honest
    They mean showing up
    Even when nobody’s watching
    
    I was built for endurance, not the clip that expires
    Not the spark that looks crazy then quietly dies
    I keep weight in my voice ‘cause it’s backed by the miles
    I don’t turn when they call, I align
    Every mile put proof in the breath I release
    Every step made the floor feel less under my feet
    I don’t rush the arrival, I live in the drive
    That’s the line
    
    No detours.
    Straight line.
    Still rolling the same.
