One For The Road Lyrics - Singles - Cee-lo

Yeah, yeah that sho' feel good 

Hello! I go by the name of simply Cee-Lo Green 

How do you do? Welcome 

I thought I'd seize this opportunity to tell you 

A little more about myself if you don't mind 

This is my vision, you know what I'm saying? 

Check me out now 

I have millenniums of material and rivers of rhythm 

An entire ocean of emotion that's enlightening to swim in 

Also a forest of feeling, beaten paths of peace 

Trapped inside my silhouette, I have to speak to release 

Demanding more from the pen than I whore from the pen 

The line between playing to win and sin is thin 

But I walk it with grace and I talk it with taste 

I am that raw, simply put and I rest my case 

It's elementary, yet far more than resources to pay the rent for me 

Everything that I've done is divine, ask God, he'll tell ya, yeah, he mine 

So, you see, you don't need another thug out of me 

That is the last thing I plan to be on this LP 

But I'ma go slip into something mo' comfortable and continue the lesson 

No inconvenience at all, I insist on leaving an impression 

So relax and ride out 

Relax, okay and ride out 

Just relax and ride out 

Players, relax and ride out 

I also solicit visual verbalism worth a visit 

Intensely exquisite artism inquire all, who is it? 

It's a deliciously daring delicacy I eat to exist 

Oh, he's waving those words, I want seconds and thirds 

Oh, hush, that's awful kind of you, you're making me blush 

I could use some competition but they not making me much 

Man, this beat is like my master, it's making me bust 

Hip-hop is suffering, meaning I'm a necessity, if nothing 

But you like every other rapper, cornrows and a bandana 

But I get a hundred and fifty thousand dollar check 

Every three months off Santana 

Don't you fuck up, though my family is the whole side of Atlanta 

Now how can I say? Okay, let me just put it this way 

If anyone ever contests my conquest, my gun best 

Yo son, just takes one time to be one less 

'Til you run and tell the rest that I'm the best 

I sang sweet but brang heat to bang meat 

We all on the same street 

And it's not that often I verbalize the essential element of surprise 

I am not one of these thug rapper guys 

But this one will help you realize and use both eyes to recognize 

The type of action that this amount of money buys 

Now listen son, let me drop some shit on you man 

I can just 'do-do-do-do-do-do-do' and put a hit on you, man 

With hot heat that will make your heart beat quit on you man 

And Mr. Dawson'll find a pretty box to fit all you man 

So relax and ride out 

Just relax, young man and ride out 

Hey, you better relax and ride out 

Okay? Just relax and ride out 

I could take that shit all day 

But if I only had sixteen more bars to live 

I'd get high and hopefully O.D. on an alternative 

I'd give a dim lit dream, a color scheme 

And I'd swim for the sun so far 

No matter how impossible that may seem 

I'd bury my feet in the foundation of a forest 

Becoming one with everything there 

I would be long, I would be right and wrong but I'd be rare 

And then I would pretend I didn't care 

Use my fear and pray that my forever would be fare 

And I love you all, unconditional, I get misty already missing y'all 

And then I forgive those who rhyme to kill the time 

While mine cultivate the consciousness 

And chill the spine, heal the mind, yet still sublime 

Ride out, relax and ride out 

Relax and ride out 

Relax and ride out 

This is one for the road, yeah 

One time for the motherfucking mind 

I told how you motherfucking play 

D.F. y'all, believe this, yeah 

Shouts out to Outkast, Goodie Mob, yeah 

Backbone, where you at brother? 

Hey, alright 

It's been easy now, yeah 

Can't nobody stop me now? 

No, sir, yeah, I'm gone, y'all 

Oh, man, it's lovely, yeah 

Somebody better stop me 'cause I'm good, yeah 

Alright now, yeah 

Alright, we gonna relax 'cause it feels so good 

Everybody doing their goddamn thing, yeah
