Lyrics

Six forty-five, I got the coffee in my hand
Dashboard glowing like a stage, yeah I'm the man
Merge it smooth, no brakes, I read the road like a book
Every light I see ahead, I give it one good look
Timing is a talent, yeah I learned it on the block
Speed limit's just a number but I'm running on the clock
Left lane lurkers, you can't slow down my day
Signal on, I'm sliding through, I'm gone, no delay

Hold it, hold it, steady on the gas
Three more lights and then we pass

Green wave, green wave, we the kings of the street
Every light turns green when you move to the beat
Green wave, green wave, ride it all the way
Nothing in our path on a Monday today
Green wave kings, green wave kings

Bus lane empty, but I stay in my lane
Honking at the sunrise like it owes me a name
Taxi on my left, a delivery on my right
We all out here hustling in the early light
Bridge ahead is clear, yeah the river's looking gold
Radio up loud and the bassline's got a hold
Somebody in a hatchback bobbing to the drum
We don't even know each other but we're humming the same hum

Hold it, hold it, steady on the gas
Three more lights and then we pass

Green wave, green wave, we the kings of the street
Every light turns green when you move to the beat
Green wave, green wave, ride it all the way
Nothing in our path on a Monday today
Green wave kings, green wave kings

Breathe in, breathe out, let the traffic flow
Every driver got a dream and a place to go
Slow down, speed up, we all find our pace
One more green light and we win the race

Green wave, green wave, we the kings of the street
Every light turns green when you move to the beat
Green wave, green wave, ride it all the way
Nothing in our path on a Monday today
Green wave kings, green wave kings

Green wave, rolling through the town
Green wave kings, never slowing down
