[Intro]
Yo, can I get that light?
One two, one two
Yeah, it's a trip though, man
We go
I wonder if it'll be better, I feel like it will
I really do

[Chorus]
I'ma be gone for some time
I'm on a one way trip to Caroline
I'm packing my clothes, booking my flight
I'm on a one way trip to Caroline
I'm leavin' my home, my life
I'm on a one way trip to Caroline
I'll be on a one way, one way
I'll be on a one way, one way, one day

[Verse 1]
If I go, if I go, tomorrow, like go
And it's something unexpected, out of control
I'ma plead that you leave it to the powers that be
'Cause trust me I ain't leavin' alone
Plus I heard they got a juke there, man, with all the joints
And it don't take dimes, you just got to point
And every song that I pick's like an exact fit
To my mood as if I'm choosing my life's playlist
I take a sip
It's something I never had on my lips
And it only tastes better now with every drip
See my cousin got a spliff, so we set it to light
And we talk and watch the sun dry the sweat of the night
It feels better than right, the way the light melts softly
Gleamin' off the soul in her eyes, it just lost me
I think I love it
Is it wrong for me to feel I'm home?
I'ma, I'ma-
[Chorus]
I'ma be gone for some time
I'm on a one way trip to Caroline
I'm packing my clothes and booking my flight
I'm on a one way trip to Caroline
I'm leavin' my home, my life
I'm on a one way trip to Caroline
I'll be on a one way, one way
I'll be on a one way, one way, one day

[Verse 2]
One day, one hour, one morning, one night
One minute, one second, one lesson, one life
One pebble in the road, one tick of the time
But it's the same tic that everyone shared
So how can I even feel like it's worth it to try?
We work so hard for it 'til we purple our eyes
Do the same thing twice for the rest of our lives
And still nobody remembers we died
If it ain't for the world, then man who the hell is it for then? (Me)
Will someone tell me why I'm still in a war then? (Me)
Well wasn't you that told me that "Essence is more than" (She)
Oh she said it, that's a problem with we
I took a look at my goals, sat and made a list
And what was supposed to be first was comin' up fifth
I need a break from the pace a great time
A place that really feels like mine
That's Caroline
[Chorus]
I'ma be gone for some time
I'm on a one way trip to Caroline
I'm packing my clothes, booking my flight
I'm on a one way trip to Caroline
I'm leavin' my home, my life
I'm on a one way trip to Caroline
I'll be on a one way, one way
I'll be on a one way, one way, one day
I'ma be gone for some time
I'm on a one way trip to Caroline
I'm packing my clothes, booking my flight
I'm on a one way trip to Caroline
I'm leavin' my home, my life
I'm on a one way trip to Caroline
I'll be on a one way, one way
I'll be on a one way, one way, one day
