Petal To The Metal
Kick the pedal to the metal
Cuz I can't get down
Stress by the pound
Lost and unfound
Kick the pedal to the metal
Cuz the rockin done stopped
No bubbly left to pop
Streets empty and can't cop
Kick the pedal to the metal
Cuz I can't go home
Not lonely just alone
Collect on seeds sown
Kick the pedal to the metal
Cuz the playa's not done
Catch a flight first one
To the setting of the sun
