Drivin’

By Dizzee Rascal

[Verse 1:]

Wake up in the morning

For another average day

I've got plans to spend my hours

In another average way

I'll get ready, eat my breakfast

Call my average ghetto friends

For another average ghetto situation in the end

But it seems I needn't bother

I can hear my mobile ringin'

'Sin my bedroom– "What you want?"

"Nuffin' blood, I'm just chillin'. What you want?"

"Nuffin' either, ain't you got no links or nuttin'?"

"Na but get me from my yard

"We'll find some on da roads or sum'in'."


[Chorus:]

Drive that motor fulla smoke

And the smell stickin' to my clothes

I'm broke and everybody knows

I'm drivin' with nowhere to go

It's clear that I'm puttin' on a show

Waitin' for the day that I'll blow

'Til then you can catch me on the roads

Drivin' with nowhere to go


[Verse 2:]

Now we're in the motor

And we're driving five up

And I'm seriously hoping

That the feds don't drive up

If they do they'll smell the smoke

And find some objects made for hurtin'

And some brown and some white

Cause I know my ???'s working

Plus they'll know this car is stolen

And that ain't no lucky guess

Cos' there's no one sittin' in it

Ever passed the drivin' test

TDA - joy ridin' -

Just anotha common number

But if flashing lights appear

I'm the first to do a runner


[Chorus]


[Verse 3:]

Now I'm drawin' on da zoo

And I'm feeling all mong

We've been drivin' for a while

I don't know how long

But I'll tell you this for free

I ain't even tryin' to talk

And for now I'm feelin' thankful

That I haven' got to walk


[Bridge:]

Anyway, we're just cruisin'

In the same ol' places

In the same ol' manner

With the same ol' faces

Where the same old p'lice

Give the same ol' chases

And I can't see change

'Cause there ain't no traces


[x2]


[Chorus]
