Lyrics Drive By - Don Aleman

You know, always on the way, never there

People stare blank when we drive by
We just wave back and drive by
Read a ton of books now they won't listen
Yet it's all written, not their own vision
And the bass vibrate out the hi-fi
We just wave back and drive by
What's a word in the world of a fool
Cause I am going to eat my hat if it's true

Yo I don't speak no hate boy I'm cool
Or use blame as a tool, shame on you
But I've been cutting friends just a few
Cause what you love in me, i no more see in you
Bro i just want the best for myself
But then i wake up early, for somebody else
Seems like they don't wanna hear it, i guess
Nowadays you're worth more, for saying less, keep it
So i've been saying less writing texts and letters
I think it's best done with simple expressions
You don't have to speak up to teach a lesson
Tell the story, leave a question
But if you got something on your mind
It would be a lie
Not to say it, why you wanna play this
It's complete none-sense, but it's so deep
With a clean conscience, had a good sleep

People stare blank when we drive by
We just wave back and drive by
Read a ton of books now they won't listen
Yet it's all written, not their own vision
And the bass vibrate out the hi-fi
We just wave back and drive by
What's a word in the world of a fool
Cause I am going to eat my hat if it's true

And they say we have a lot of privilege as white men
I almost feel bad for being white, man
We all smile together, why do we cry alone
Just because we hate the weather, we shouldn't hide at home
So i straight face what scares me the most
My number one is that i never be simply broke
And it's okay to spent a tear alone, but remember
Avoiding confrontation, doesn't lead to growth
And i ain't green, i don't rage, i don't quit
Trying to put me in a cage, what did i miss
If it's green i inhale and it hit
And pass it, take a hit
And i've been pretty sick from last June until December
Now I'm back with no time busy as ever
Now I'm back, on fire, jacket is leather
What i wanna be now, potentially rapper

People stare blank when we drive by
We just wave back and drive by
Read a ton of books now they won't listen
Yet it's all written, not their own vision
And the bass vibrate out the hi-fi
We just wave back and drive by
What's a word in the world of a fool
Cause I am going to eat my hat if it's true

Behind walls they all happy and loud
It's supposed to be the other way round
Step out the door just so stare at the sound, wow
I guess some will never get off the ground, no
And i ain't blue still mutant and proud
Nothing new, I am going to speak out the doubts
But unlike you, I am going to sit that shit out
Got sustain like the queen on a pound
And her new man ain't new, boy, you just never knew
But what a lame move to play a true king like a fool
I know familiar tales of bitches in towers
So here we are bringing treaties and flowers
And the bass vibrate out the hi-fi
I just pick her up, and drive by
She could also take a bus or the train
But I pick her up, cause I'd expect the same
Here i am took a shave in the shower
Just to wait for her a couple of hours
Phone is shaking, but no new messages
Brain is hating, but not my testicles

People stare blank when we drive by
We just wave back and drive by
Read a ton of books now they won't listen
Yet it's all written, not their own vision
And the bass vibrate out the hi-fi
We just wave back and drive by
What's a word in the world of a fool
Cause I am going to eat my hat if it's true
