[Chorus]
I just leave’em behind/
Pass’em by like I’m driving down I-95/
Waving goodbye…just waving goodbye…/

[Verse 1 - Domer]
Yeah…We put the pedal to the floor/
Sure we got it all but I’d settle for more/
My adrenaline raw is like “I’m better than y’all”/
But at the end of the day we face the same flaws/
And fall into traps, we all act like children/
Willing to play the villain, bills to pay building/
Still we stay chillin’, passing the time/
With trash in the mind and the passion to rhyme/
There’s a flash in my eyes from the fire behind/
Tires are tired but they have to oblige – I didn’t ask you to climb/
So don’t come bitching to me/
Just keep your flow going as they’re switching the beat/
Listen and see, hear, touch, taste, too much race/
And not enough ways, stuck in place, that’s just great/
Tragically, had to be getting deeper into it/
As for me, I’m happily keeping it moving/

[Chorus]
I just leave’em behind/
Pass’em by like I’m driving down I-95/
Waving goodbye…just waving goodbye…/
Yea I leave’em behind/
Pass’em by like I’m driving down I-95/
Waving goodbye…just waving goodbye…/

[Verse 2 - Kats]
I see the clear blue sky in my rearview, I…/
Never fear to climb one tier too high/
I’m not the tearful type, you never see me cry/
You never hear me whine, I’m on my yearly grind!/
I want my daily shine though…/
Every night I’m like “where’s the time go?”/
Every time I rhyme for people, I know…/
They’ll say my flow is cold and so refined…oh!/
I’m getting old and blind though, dying to leave behind my nine-to-five yo/
Trying to get there late so I drive slow, then doing eighty five on my drive home/
Time is money, but only when it’s mine though/
It’s kinda funny, the way neon signs glow…/
On and off is how I feel inside yo…but i don’t mind, that’s how life goes…/

[Chorus]
I just leave’em behind/
Pass’em by like I’m driving down I-95/
Waving goodbye…just waving goodbye…/
Yea I leave’em behind/
Pass’em by like I’m driving down I-95/
Waving goodbye…just waving goodbye…/

[Verse 3 - Jake Lefco]
Windows open, hit the highway/
Hell with the speed limit, ’bout to leave it behind me/
Like mistakes I made doing it my way/
The smell of burnt rubber that I leave in the driveway/
Symbolize the mind-state, no time to waste/
Too much stress to keep it inside me/
Lay back burning trees like it’s Friday/
Flying down I-95, getting irate/
SmutVillain in the system with this one/
Hit’em with the baseline, kill’em with the kickdrum/
Jake Leff.. in the left lane, breathtaking pace/
How much of my dust can your breath take?/
Cough – Cough – Can’t keep up with the left brain/
I’m gone, you’re better off waiting for the F Train/
It’s a new dawn, gas pedal getting stepped on like a shoe horn…/
Time to move on…/

[Chorus]
I just leave’em behind/
Pass’em by like I’m driving down I-95/
Waving goodbye…just waving goodbye…/
Yea I leave’em behind/
Pass’em by like I’m driving down I-95/
Waving goodbye…just waving goodbye…/
