"Drive" lyrics
When I turn my ringer off you know
That me time, that drive time, forty west sixty five time
Now it's done been a long winding road, full of potholes and detours
Decoys pretending to be B-Boys
B-Boys who really was what they said they was "Passed on"
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, now he gone
But I posses the strength to move on
Through me he lives on, so on and so on
And that's the cycle of life in gods will
But when you died the block stood still
Schhh, can I get a moment of silence
No shots no sirens, no signs of violence
They lying if they tell you that this lifestyle does not cost
Tape around my homies house that say "Do not cross"
Making the wrong move will get you knocked off like a chess piece
Checkmate (Huh? Haha), fuck me
This ain't checkers or Chess
This is real life boy and ain't no reset
No more 'cause it's not a game
This one of them songs you put on
Set your cruise control on
Eighty five and just drive, this one of them song
You put on when you're all alone
This one of them songs you put on
Set your cruise control on
Eighty five and just drive, this one of them song
You put on when you're all alone
Come and come on with me through these stones
Each one represents a life a home
A husband and wife, children and grandkids
Flowers symbolize love in the life he lived
You see this stone here? I know this man
He used to comb my hair, he used to hold my hand
The only man that ever seemed to understand
I was his right hand, I was his lil' man
I might stand here and talk for an hour or more
I may just ride down south maple blow the horn at my boys
So many questions unanswered, so many statements unstated
He never seen me graduate but he made it to see me make it
Thank you lord for every day or should I say every breath
And since nobody knows how many we got left
This could be the last verse I ever get to spit
And that's why it had to be the shit (You feel me?)
This one of them songs you put on
Set your cruise control on
Eighty five and just drive, this one of them song
You put on when you're all alone
This one of them songs you put on
Set your cruise control on
Eighty five and just drive, this one of them song
You put on when you're all alone
My grandpa put his boots on and tie them up tight
Tell me stay between Lester and Wilson ave, on my bike
Kiss my granny on cheek and pat me on the head
Opened the screen door turned around and said
"If I let night fall on y'all
Without a phone call
Something must have went wrong
And I may never be back home"
I was raised up by good men some that took me to church
Uncle Dave let me ride shotgun while he was doing dirt
Told me "Jason this world is full of jerks
Why break yo back when these pit bulls will do the work?"
Watched him get that weed off get that white off
So they don't cut the heat off and cut them lights off
And I love y'all for teaching me how to get that
How to cope with the pressure that comes with that (Now come on)
This one of them songs you put on
Set your cruise control on
Eighty five and just drive, this one of them song
You put on when you're all alone
This one of them songs you put on
Set your cruise control on
Eighty five and just drive, this one of them song
You put on when you're all alone
That me time, that drive time, forty west sixty five time
Now it's done been a long winding road, full of potholes and detours
Decoys pretending to be B-Boys
B-Boys who really was what they said they was "Passed on"
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, now he gone
