Used Cars Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Whippin' Ma's minivan, really with the shits
Never put it to the test but I bet it could fit a lot of chicks
Pullin' up (skrrt), rich kids lookin' and I know that shit hurt
Flyer than the rest of them, should've been arrested then
Underage drinkin' while we flickin' off pedestrians
Irresponsible and easily influenced
Blamin' everything on doin' what our friends were doin'
Only young once
Ain't no suckers but we actin' like some Dum-Dums
We gon' be rich someday, we got potential and shit
Man, we got something to say, I think we different
It's just the way that we made
Give us a TV show, give me a record deal
Give me a million dollars, sit back and let me build, yeah, yeah
Fast forward, none of that happened
But I made a livin' and I did that shit rappin'
[Chorus]
Still whippin', whippin' used cars (used cars)
They said we'd never get too far (that we'd never get too far)
Ridin' 'round in used cars (ridin' 'round in used cars)
Maybe we'll never be huge stars (maybe we'll never be huge stars)
Used cars (used cars)
Ridin' 'round in, ridin' 'round in used cars (ridin' 'round in used cars)
Rollin' 'round in, rollin' 'round in used cars, used cars
Maybe we'll never be huge stars (maybe we'll never be huge stars)
[Verse 2]
I had a '99 Prizm
99 problems but nothin' was wrong with it
Got me 'round campus, got me to all my classes
Opportunity knockin', took me to all my chances
Got me up out of work to work on all of my classics
If it wasn't for her, About That Life wouldn't happen
Could you even imagine it'd get like this?
Always felt it but now I'm makin' real-life hits
Broke as hell, whipped that shit to Cali
No job, no crib, still in debt to Sallie
Man, that car got me through some times
All the way around the West until I made a way off of my rhymes
Couldn't make it back, it was meant to be
Wouldn't take it back, baby, rest in peace
Kinda made it but I'd never fake it
Still used-car whippin' and it feel amazin'
[Chorus]
Still whippin', whippin' used cars (used cars)
They said we'd never get too far (that we'd never get too far)
Ridin' 'round in used cars (ridin' 'round in used cars)
Maybe we'll never be huge stars (maybe we'll never be huge stars)
Used cars (used cars)
Ridin' 'round in, ridin' 'round in used cars (ridin' 'round in used cars)
Rollin' 'round in, rollin' 'round in used cars, used cars
Maybe we'll never be huge stars (maybe we'll never be huge stars)
[Outro]
(Maybe we'll never be huge stars)
(Maybe we'll never be huge stars)
(Never be huge stars)
(Used cars)

How did the song come together?
This song came together super fast. I heard the beat, had the idea, wrote it in a day, recorded it soon after, and then took a few weeks to listen, make tweaks, mix, master, and it we put that thing out.
What inspired the song?
I’m actually in the market for a car now and am probably gonna buy some pretty cheap, used car. It made me think about the cars I’ve had in the past & how even though I’ve come a long way in my career, it doesn’t necessarily show in my material possessions. And it doesn’t have to.
What was the process of making the song like?
Depressing. Constantly reminding myself I’m driving around the same types of whips I always have. I should have come up by now, damnit!
