this song uses driving as an analogy for artistry. i originally was going to have Levi Hinson on this track with me, but he had some stuff come up that restricted him from doing anything for it. either way, he helped me fix my verse with some criticism he gave me and this verse was the product. afte...
[Intro: Kanye West]
"It's crazy that we live in a world that if you're super positive and super creative that it's scary. So what does that tell you about the mentality of most people? If you're scared of, like, positivity and creativity?"
[Verse 1: Josiah Davis]
Check me, here I am makin' it
Putty had the torch, did his time, now I’m takin' it
Beams of ultralight rays comin' through the roof
Product of so many days spent rappin' in the booth
I got Drew on the feature, together, man we the youth
Comin' at you with a new sound, new vibe
Oooh
And I’m countin' it joy
Steppin' over all the critics that ain’t diggin' ya boi
Man I’m feelin' it all the time
I don’t speak when I’m on the grind
I just write down what I think and then heat it up when I’m on the mic
Livin' my life like always right
And I know that I got the drive
Turn the key and rev it, we’ll be out until late tonight
Standin' out the sunroof open
Yellin' out our lyrics, not leavin' one unspoken
Mopin', hopin'
We the ones chosen
By society to come and win it like the Open
Creativity, ambition
Makin' songs that I like, that’s my only mission
Pissin' off Satan with the life that I’m livin'
And I’m shoutin' from the top of every building
“WE IN THIS”
I’m sippin' Cherry 7-Up
In a solo cup
Ridin' solo
Whaaat?
Drew shotgun
Yellin' "free Hinson!"
No cop no stop, son
[Hook: Josiah Davis]
I got the drive
Hop on in, let’s go for a ride
Makin' money, meetin' people
Stayin' funny, keep the steeple
At the root of me and all of my guys
I’m doin' me
If you don’t believe it, well then you gon' see
I’m creatin', just be patient
And respect my artistry
[Verse 2: Drew Famous]
Yep
I ain't really one for followin' rules
People get a little money and they actin' all rude
People really think they funny when they hollerin'
Dude, I ain't ashamed to say I never really been very cool
But, here I am alone in my room
Makin' a little music while you rollin' a doob
Sittin' here with my people while we eatin' our food
And hollerin' at your lady when she passin' on through
Uh
But I been really goin' through it
Clamorin' over people sayin' they don't know who Drew is
Claimin' they gettin' money when they ain't around my crew
It's kinda ironic how they comin' for my neck
In crusive cursive
Kinda hurts if you ain't with the people you with cause it might hurt them
It ain't worth it if you ain't takin' a risk
I'm hollerin' out the sunroof as we roll through the biz
[Bridge: Drew Famous]
As we roll through the biz
I'm hollerin' out the sunroof as we roll through the biz
As we roll through the biz
I'm hollerin' out the sunroof as we roll through the biz
As we roll through the biz
I'm hollerin' out the sunroof as we roll through the biz
As we roll through the biz
I'm hollerin' out the sunroof as we roll through the biz
[Hook: Josiah Davis]
I got the drive
Hop on in, let’s go for a ride
Makin' money, meetin' people
Stayin' funny, keep the steeple
At the root of me and all of my guys
I’m doin' me
If you don’t believe it, well then you gon' see
I’m creatin', just be patient
And respect my artistry
[Outro: Kanye West]
"I have no intent to do anything negative to anyone. I only want, you know, more positive things to happen. So I just gotta wake up every day and, like, express myself and...and go attack it."
