Lyrics
My phone is always dead
Expressing a constant lack of communication or connection through a dead phone.
and the friction in my head
Describing mental turmoil or inner conflict causing friction and stress.
Keeps up all night when will I rest
Questioning when the turmoil will subside, allowing for rest and peace.
Of all the things I've said
Reflecting on past words spoken, suggesting a sense of regret or reflection.
Memories and miss steps
Recalling memories and acknowledging mistakes made.
All the blurred lines the stop signs bleeding red
Referencing confusion, unclear boundaries, and warning signs symbolized by blurred lines and red stop signs.
I've got the power
Asserting personal strength or authority.
I've got the moves
Expressing confidence and capability in actions or decisions.
Not moving backwards
Emphasizing a commitment to progress without going backward.
This is not a ruse
Asserting that the situation is not a deception or trick.
Picking up on patterns of self abuse
Recognizing recurring patterns of self-destructive behavior.
Throw a rock make them shatter then get to the truth
Suggesting a strategy of confrontation to reveal the truth.
It's not hard to find
Claiming that finding the truth is not difficult.
But easy to lose
Highlighting the ease of losing the truth once found.
If you're being picky might as well pick and choose
Advising selectivity when making choices.
I shared the best with the world saved the rest for you
Sharing the best with the world while keeping something reserved for a specific person.
Done rolling all the red lights now watch me watch me do what I do
Declaring the end of recklessness and signaling a shift in behavior.
Watch me watch me do what I do
Repeating the declaration and emphasizing the actions being observed.
Watch me watch me do what I do

-It's what I do
Summarizing the essence of the individual's behavior as "what I do."
The juxtaposition
Reflecting on the contrast between significant paths and mundane routines, pondering the precarious nature of life.
Of main roads and sidewalks
-Really got me thinking about this tight rope that I walk
-A crazy superstition that I might be all talk
-Put my money where my mouth is so I can stay untucked
Backing up statements with actions, ensuring authenticity.
Better button up before I come undone
Advising self-control and a search for purpose rather than resorting to violence.
Reaching for a reason not a gun
-There's love in this game
Asserting power and confidence in pursuing love and goals.
I'm taking my shot once I take aim
-I've got the power I've got the moves
