About

“Tokyo Drifting” is Glass Animals' first musical release since their 2016 album How To Be A Human Being. This track is the group’s first collaboration with South Florida hip-hop artist Denzel Curry, but hardly their first time delving into the hip-hop genre, working with New York rapper Joey Bada$$...

Tokyo Drifting Lyrics

[Intro: Denzel Curry]
Driftin'
Huh, huh, huh, Tokyo driftin'

[Verse 1: Dave Bayley]
Two things 'bout the gears, you better listen up
Chrome spokes with the spinners on his tire hubs
Suck smoke in his '40, windows up
He rolls, like he really doesn't give a-
Drug lust and two packets in your pocket
Disco dust hits your nose like a rocket

[Bridge: Dave Bayley]
Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

[Verse 2: Dave Bayley]
Scoot-scoot, boy, race out to the super-club
Let it rip like you drank all of the tequila
Get loose, Street Fighter, tear it up
Fresh footwork drippin' out of you onto the rug

[Chorus: Dave Bayley & Denzel Curry]
Ooh, now you're lettin' go
Heart beatin' faster, feet pushin' on the floor
Ain't nothin' better
Ooh, now you're lettin' go
Heart beatin' faster, feet pushin' on the floor
Ain't nothin' better
Wavey Davey's on fire
You still got it, you still got it alright, yeah (Huh, huh)
Wavey Davey's on fire
Oh, you still got it, you still got it alright, yeah (Huh, huh)
Huh, huh
Huh, huh
Huh, huh

[Verse 3: Denzel Curry]
Ayy, what is everybody talkin' 'bout?
When they wanna live fast, but I'd rather walk it out
Niggas wanna talk about a G
But I spent a G on the twelve teeth in my mouth (Huh, huh, huh)
Diamonds aquatic, it feel like a trout on my wrist (Wrist)
Or a spout on my wrist with a spider up in it (In it)
Everything gotta be eighty and you keep the twenty percentage
You know that I get it, I'm on it, I'm in it
If you try to take it, the clip get extended
I'm back on my bullshit, like Jordan on Pippen
If this is my life then I'm Tokyo drifting (Uh)

[Chorus: Dave Bayley & Denzel Curry]
Ooh, now you're lettin' go
Heart beatin' faster, feet pushin' on the floor (Yeah, oh)
Ain't nothin' better
Ooh, now you're lettin' go
Heart beatin' faster, feet pushin' on the floor
Ain't nothin' better
Wavey Davey's on fire (Yuh, yuh, yuh, okay)
You still got it, you still got it alright, yeah (Huh, huh, huh)
Wavey Davey's on fire (Yuh, yuh, yuh, okay)
You still got it, you still got it alright, yeah (Huh, huh, huh)
Driftin'
Yeah
Yeah, Tokyo driftin'

[Outro: Dave Bayley & Denzel Curry]
Wavey Davey's on fire
You still got it, you still got it al—
You still, you still got it al—
You still, you still got it alright, yeah (Driftin')
