Get Off My Bumper (Road Rage Diss) — The Daily Diss Ep. 26
0:00 / 2:00
Episode 26 of The Daily Diss steps outside to the highway, where someone in a silver Accord has decided that riding two inches off your rear bumper — with high beams on, horn cycling at seven-second intervals, and the full theatrical weave — is a credible strategy for making I-95 traffic disappear. It is not. The track opens with the narrator doing a perfectly legal 65 in a 60, boxed in on all sides, coolly observing the chaos unfolding in his rearview mirror. The energy is bewildered, exasperated, and deeply petty — exactly where it should be.
The hook lands hard on the absurdity: there is nowhere to go. Three lanes left, all frozen. The tailgater's entire performance — the flashes, the weave, the eventual three-lane sprint that cuts off a minivan cruising at 58 — nets a grand total of zero minutes saved. The second verse delivers the karmic close-up: both cars arrive at the same exit, eyes meeting through glass, the tailgater's face doing the work of a full five-star review of their own decision-making. GPS said twenty-two minutes. Everyone got there in twenty-two minutes. One person was just a lot angrier about it.
[Verse 1]
Alright let's talk about the Tuesday that tested my faith
You rolled up in a silver Accord at a dangerous pace
Two inches off my bumper like you're drafting at Daytona
I checked my mirrors three times — boy, get off my persona
Flashin' them high beams like the sun ain't already up
Honkin' that horn every seven seconds — homie, what
There's eighteen cars in front of me, a concrete wall to the right
Where exactly do you think I'm gonna go? Into the light?
I tap my brakes — not hard, just a little reminder
That physics is real and Newton is right behind ya
You swerve to the left, you swerve to the right
You're speedrunning the highway but the highway won't bite
[Chorus]
Get off my bumper! (skrrt)
I got nowhere to go
Get off my bumper! (honk)
You're puttin' on a show
Three lanes to the left? They're all stuck too, bro
You'll gain exactly zero — let the data flow
Get off my bumper!
Get off my bumper!
[Verse 2]
Now here's the beautiful part, the masterpiece ending
You floored it hard left, three lanes, no signaling
Cut off a minivan doing a clean fifty-eight
Tucked right behind Karen — congratulations, great
You burned a dollar in gas and aged yourself three years
You arrived to the next red light thirty feet ahead, dear
I pull up right beside you at the very same exit
Our eyes meet through glass — yeah I see that complexion
The look on your face, it's a five-star review
You gained negative minutes and a cortisol boost too
You shaved off zero seconds from your Thursday commute
And your blood pressure's at 160 — enjoy the route
[Chorus]
Get off my bumper! (skrrt)
I got nowhere to go
Get off my bumper! (honk)
You're puttin' on a show
Three lanes to the left? They're all stuck too, bro
You'll gain exactly zero — let the data flow
Get off my bumper!
Get off my bumper!
[Outro]
GPS said twenty-two minutes
You arrived in twenty-two minutes
I arrived in twenty-two minutes
The minivan arrived in twenty-two minutes
We were all right on time
You were just angrier
