Sometimes Lyrics by Keenan The First

What Is America

2016

[Verse 1: Keenan The First]
Boss man listen here, I’m a take the whole month off of work
I’m a go 3000 miles in my earbuds, cuz my future comes first
U turns in the open road, just to drive in reverse
Freedom’s been calling my name, she’ll be with me if I return

[Hook 1]
Sometimes you gotta go backwards to go forwards (x4)

[Choir]
(oohs)

[Verse 2: Keenan The First]
Cruising at 85 hoping that my seatbelt secure
Cracking the windows sliding sunroof letting in air while we explore
There’s a new world everywhere we go, I can taste the Earth
Freedom’s been screaming my name, and now I’m screaming hers

[Hook 2]
Sometimes you gotta go backwards to go forwards (x4)

[Choir]
(oohs)

[Hook 3]
Sometimes you gotta go backwards to go forwards (x4)
