[Chorus: Morray]
I see a fork in the road
I don't know what path I'm takin'
But my compass is broke
And I don't know if I'ma make it
Yeah, yeah
Told a lot of lies, pushed the love aside
Tried to drive away, but my hands are tied
Never givin' up, always stay and fight for me
[Verse 1: Macklemore]
I been drivin' this road, I been drivin' this road
Uh-huh, fork in the middle, got two choices to go
Give the kids a kiss for me if I don't make it home
When I was growin' up, we didn't have a diagnosis
We just kept takin' more to get the serotonin
Got older and all of my homies overdosin'
And therapy wasn't an option to process our emotions
Mama always said, "What you afraid of, boy?"
"Everything's good, you got angels, boy"
"Closed mouths go hungry, better raise your voice"
God-sized hole, no replacin' the void
We create out of chaos, the music is a seance
The land that our ancestors' graves on
My favorite artists are my two little girls
I see freedom first hand in what they make with their crayons
[Pre-Chorus: Macklemore]
The light, it was always on glow
When I was lost I was on the right road
Tail lights ahead as I drive slow
Just a right turn then I find my way home
[Chorus: Morray]
I see a fork in the road
I don't know what path I'm takin'
But my compass is broke
And I don't know if I'ma make it
Yeah, yeah
Told a lot of lies, pushed the love aside
Tried to drive away, but my hands are tied
Never givin' up, always stay and fight for me
[Post-Chorus: Morray]
I'll follow your tail lights
To wherever they may lead
I'll follow your tail lights
I'll try and match your speed
[Verse 2: Macklemore]
Virgil said that when you make it to the penthouse
It's your duty to send the elevator back down
Somewhere along the highway I got lost
And I realized God was ahead of me all along
My mind on my business, grind my only mission
Most High, the messenger wasn't quiet enough to listen
My time was occupied, when even dinin' with my children
It's like me, myself, and I, and I lost sight of the vision
On borrowed time, livin' in extra innings
Industry survives, I'm glorifyin' the millions
The playlists and the streams, the album bundles and tees
But they cannot manufacture what resides in the spirit
The Phantom ain't enough if you don't remember all of the countless rides in the Civic
The moments of failure that proceeded this
Not givin' a fuck about other people's perception
That's what freedom is and that's what I'ma teach my kids
Any moment, peace is available, you just gotta remember to breathe it in and finally I can breathe again
Anyway, man, I'ma roll the dice
God got the wheel regardless of where I go in life
[Pre-Chorus: Macklemore]
I know tonight, it was always on glow
And when I was lost, I was on the right road
Tail lights ahead as I drive slow
Just a right turn then I find my way home
[Chorus: Morray]
I see a fork in the road
I don't know what path I'm takin'
But my compass is broke
And I don't know if I'ma make it
Yeah, yeah
Told a lot of lies, pushed the love aside
Tried to drive away, but my hands are tied
Never givin' up, always stay and fight for me
[Post-Chorus: Morray]
I'll follow your tail lights
To wherever they may lead
I'll follow your tail lights
I'll try and match your speed
[Outro: Macklemore]
I don't use turn signals
Windows tinted, got a perfect view
World's endin', I'ma burn with you
Sun goin' down, gotta turn in soon, oh yeah
Lookin' in my rear view glass
Learnin' from the past with a beautiful crash
Write my name in the dust on the dash
It fades, but the memories last
Tail lights
Tail lights
Tail lights
