One For The Road Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Dm]Yeah, yeah that sho' feel good
Hello! I go by the name of
simply Cee- Lo Green
How do you do? Welcome
I thought I'd seize this
opportunity to tell you
A little more about myself
if you don't mind
This is my vision,
you know what I'm saying?
Check me out now

[Verse 2]
I have [Dm]millenniums of material
and rivers of rhythm
An entire ocean of emotion that's
enlightening to swim in
Also a forest of feeling,
beaten paths of peace
Trapped inside my silhouette,
I have to speak to release
Demanding more from the pen
than I whore from the pen
The line between playing
to win and sin is thin
But I walk it with grace and I talk it with taste
I am that raw,
simply put and I rest my case

[Verse 3]
It's [Dm]elementary,
yet far more than resources to pay the rent for me
Everything that I've done is divine,
ask God, he'll tell ya, yeah, he mine
So, you see, you don't need
another thug out of me
That is the last thing I plan to be on this LP
But I'ma go slip into something mo' comfortable
and continue the lesson
No inconvenience at all,
I insist on leaving an impression

[Verse 4]
So [Dm]relax and ride out
Relax, okay and ride out
Just relax and ride out
Players, relax and ride out

[Verse 5]
[Dm]I also solicit visual verbalism
worth a visit
Intensely exquisite artism inquire all,
who is it?
It's a deliciously daring
delicacy I eat to exist
Oh, he's waving those words,
I want seconds and thirds
Oh, hush, that's awful kind of you,
you're making me blush
I could use some competition but
they not making me much
Man, this beat is like my master,
it's making me bust
Hip- hop is suffering,
meaning I'm a necessity, if nothing

[Verse 6]
But you like [Dm]every other rapper,
cornrows and a bandana
But I get a hundred and fifty
thousand dollar check
Every three months off Santana
Don't you fuck up,
though my family is the whole side of Atlanta
Now how can I say? Okay,
let me just put it this way

[Verse 7]
If anyone [Dm]ever contests my conquest,
my gun best
Yo son, just takes one time
to be one less
'Til you run and tell the rest
that I'm the best
I sang sweet but brang heat to bang meat
We all on the same street

[Verse 8]
And it's not that [Dm]often I verbalize the
essential element of surprise
I am not one of these thug rapper guys
But this one will help you realize and use
both eyes to recognize
The type of action that
this amount of money buys
Now listen son,
let me drop some shit on you man
I can just 'do- do- do- do- do- do-
do' and put a hit on you, man
With hot heat that will make your
heart beat quit on you man
And Mr. Dawson'll find a pretty
box to fit all you man

[Verse 9]
So [Dm]relax and ride out
Just relax, young man and ride out
Hey, you better relax and ride out
Okay? Just relax and ride out

[Verse 10]
I could take that shit [Dm]all day
But if I only had sixteen more bars to live
I'd get high and hopefully
O.D. on an alternative
I'd give a dim lit dream,
a color scheme
And I'd swim for the sun so far

[Verse 11]
No matter how [Dm]impossible that may seem
I'd bury my feet in the
foundation of a forest
Becoming one with everything there
I would be long,
I would be right and wrong but I'd be rare
And then I would pretend I didn't care
Use my fear and pray that my
forever would be fare

[Verse 12]
And [Dm]I love you all, unconditional,
I get misty already missing y'all
And then I forgive those who
rhyme to kill the time
While mine cultivate the consciousness
And chill the spine, heal the mind,
yet still sublime

[Verse 13]
Ride [Dm]out, relax and ride out
Relax and ride out
Relax and ride out

[Verse 14]
This is one for [Dm]the road, yeah
One time for the motherfucking mind
I told how you motherfucking play
D.F. y'all, believe this, yeah

[Verse 15]
Shouts out [Dm]to Outkast, Goodie Mob,
yeah
Backbone, where you at brother?
Hey, alright
It's been easy now, yeah
Can't nobody stop me now?
No, sir, yeah, I'm gone, y'all
Oh, man, it's lovely, yeah

[Verse 16]
Somebody [Dm]better stop me 'cause I'm good,
yeah
Alright now, yeah
Alright, we gonna relax 'cause
it feels so good
Everybody doing their goddamn thing, yeah
