Southside simmer, heat drip off the ride
I-285 where the traffic collide
Windows down, vibe thick, heavy in the air
Lost my cat, lost my cool, life ain't fair
In the traffic on 285, where we ride, where we strive
Lost my cat, that's a rat-a-tat-tat, tryna survive
285, my city, my hive, we still alive
Spilled latte, now my seat sticky like molasses
Cat gone AWOL, no paws, no passes
My guy out here wildin', talkin' reckless, brash
While I'm stuck in this loop, tires screech, then crash
In the traffic on 285, where we ride, where we strive
Dey messed up my latte, that's a rat-a-tat-tat, tryna survive
285, my city, my hive, we still alive
Synth hum buzzin', heartbeat of the lane
South got rhythm, even in the mundane
Lost my cat, my patience, my coffee mess —insane
But the bassline thump, it eases my brain
In the traffic on 285, where we ride, where we strive
Lost my job, that's a rat-a-tat-tat, tryna survive
285, my city, my hive, we still alive
