The song features a monologue of an Uber driver talking to Allday about the life-changing moment in his life that happened during a night out in a bar.

10 Drinks Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I always remember that summer the clearest
Thriller at Blockbuster, zombie appearance
I need a raise 'cause I'm hungry and dead broke
They told me "Na, na" like the fruit that is yellow
And I'm smoking crops with a beautiful scarecrow
I wish she'd eat more, the weed doesn't help though
I just keep on building, them boys just won't let go
Her house big like '90s clothes, shit got an echo, echo
And I'm spacey, Kevin, are we racing to heaven?
And I'm crazy, definitely regressing
Slide through shadows on a late night
Shots on shots like A.I
The voices in my head gon' stay quiet
Stay quiet, stay quiet, stay quiet

[Chorus]
Ten drinks in me, I'm drunk
I left the party early tonight
All those empty conversations
I'm watching the cars and the trucks whizz by
And I thought ten drinks would hold me down, sort me out
And I thought ten drinks would hold me down, sort me out

[Verse 2]
I've loved and lost already, it hurt and stopped already
I did them shots already, every kind of pill popped already
Been to mountain tops and valleys, all messy, Mentos and Pepsi
Woke up so far from anything with my head feeling awful heavy
Hey man, you give a rapping junkie a bag of money
He'll disappear, tell you the album's coming
Now that's all I wanna say about the drug thing
Should call this album "Nothing", said I'd amount to nothing
And I slip through the shadows in the late night
Shots on shots like A.I
The voices in my head gon' stay quiet
Stay quiet, stay quiet, stay quiet

[Chorus]
Ten drinks in me, I'm drunk
I left the party early tonight
All those empty conversations
I'm watching the cars and the trucks whizz by
And I thought ten drinks would hold me down, sort me out
And I thought ten drinks would hold me down, sort me out

[Outro: Uber Driver, Allday & Siri]
Man, I went to this nightclub at the city, I started going [?]. I thought, "Ah, yeah, I'll get pissed". Then I... yeah, no, I was a good looking guy, you know, I used to go out, pick up five girls at night. You know, I'd have orgies with my– that was a crazy guy, man! You know, I was standing at the bar and I bought my last drink and I was thinking to myself, "This has gotta be– you know, there's something wrong, because I've been here drinking since, you know, it's been a hell of a while, and no money, so this is my last drink and I'm not drunk."
By now, I'd be sleazing around trying to take someone home. And then I heard that same voice I heard [?]. It said, "Turn around". I go, "What?" I said, "You crazy?" I go, "Oh, no" and I started shaking, man. I turned around and I saw demons in this club, man. Like evil spirits, mate, inside this nightclub. Demons, with my naked eyes, man. Things you can't see in the natural. Serious– I wasn't hallucinating, bro, I was straight as
In 300m, use the right lane to take the State Route 43...
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And I saw this going into this one person...

What did Allday say about "10 Drinks"?

I was listening to Tom Waits – on “Ol’ ’55” he sings, “Riding with Lady Luck, freeway cars and trucks”. I like that lyric so I thought it would be interesting for me to be on an overpass “watching the cars and trucks whiz by”. Is that stealing? Maybe – I think it’s an ode, but you be the judge.
