On this intro track to Drive Theory, Raz raps over a beat sampled from First Day Out by Tee Grizzley. He uses the song to establish both the tone and subject mattter of the project.
[Verse]
My baby mama say she'll see me in court
If I gave her half a stack now she say she want more
Meanwhile her sister's baby's at my house
It's 5:30 in the morning and she just knocked out
Just this time yesterday I was talking to a stripper
She had eight gold teeth in her mouth she knew I wouldn't tip her
She was just wanting to chop it, it was just sucking dick on the job
I was just in the club checking traffic, trying to push a song
She say she had four kids in the house, five mouths
One ex nigga that she live with is easier than without
I was telling her to hold on, that it gets greater later
Some things I don't understand, I pray I never do
I'll prolly never be desperate enough to make them type of moves
I seen niggas from the mob make speeches to cops
Set they own niggas up just so they can get off
Seen niggas talk shit about their man to his babies mom
In hopes that she'll get mad at him and let them get on
Damn, I don't understand that
Just so you can fuck you willing to be a rat
I don't understand these fake niggas that rap
About all the imaginary currency they have
And how they be squeezing them thirty sticks and securing the bags
But didn't see them taking straps when they was hurting for cash
I feel that pops for my passion
Hopefully my life
I just bought a building and spent a million, 1.5
Putting down the pyrex more like putting down the pipe
These rap niggas steady in the drugs they be pushing all the time
Where was I
When you came through the hood this niggas way
I never would beat the shit out a young nigga even if he tried
All these rappers mine
Tell you what you supposed to buy
Say they was doing crimes, but they was in the booth doing lines
I despise all that shit and some mroe
Niggas circles glossed up on the outside but no core
What's yours
That's apples to an orange
My approach is more biopic, theirs is more porn
I'm just out here using the force
Drawing powers form dark energy to change the world's course
Taking dim lights to the dark
Letting niggas eyes adjust before I blind them with this heart
My momma told me they don't understand until it's done
In the darkness a sparkle looks like the sun
Sometimes to save a million lives you take one
We've been grinding forever but they gonna think that we just begun
