[Intro]

You, you, you with your funny-fun-fun

Lookin up at the sunny-sun-sun

Butterfly cheeks and lemoncut hair

Hardly a worry and never a care

In her eyes, the color of love

In your eyes, the color of love


[Chorus]

Diamond in the back with the sunroof open

Driving down the freeway

Eyes real low, just singin my song

Driving down the freeway

Life already fast so I'm movin along, yeah

Driving down the freeway

Blowin my smoke all by myself, just

Driving down the freeway


[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]

Life is but a dream, I put my life in what I write

Hope I wake up after this sixteen

Bar first, Makaveli tote his bomb first

So we MAC-10 carry 'til our skeletons buries (Uh)

It works, I swеar to God, it works

Being yourself is such a beautiful thing

I don't follow a fad, a trеnd, I follow the heart

The heart follows the art, the craft that defines a smart team

Asia, you follow the rear smart key

Catchin' the vapors, blunt hit the loss in me

I'm moving at light speed, I see a blur of palm trees

A lot on my mind, I vent like anti-freeze

Seat recline, rollin' down the 105

And see it in broadcast like Channel 9, so be it

The homies throw up signs, the bitches throw me the ass

I catch them both in one hand, on boat land


[Chorus]

Diamond in the back with the sunroof open

Driving down the freeway

Eyes real low, just singin my song

Driving down the freeway

Life already fast so I'm movin along, yeah

Driving down the freeway

Blowin my smoke all by myself, just

Driving down the freeway


[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]

Execute it like a future veteran

First I do it, then I own it like I'm part-Jewish

Pay for mind, I put my life on the line

Call me Ray Lewis, just the thought of going to war is therapeutic

No cartoonist, characters that I permitted

In my area, those who trespass, get carried from

Sympathization, I speed past them like I'm a patient

In my zone with 2-3, know who I be

Bruh man, uh, K-Dot, bruh man, uh

I let the sun shine through the roof top, bruh man, uh

Smoke in my car, you might see a lot, bruh man, uh

They starin' hard, I think I know my bruh man, doubt man, homie man

This the part of Compton you ain't heard before

They call me God-given, God givin' K-Dot

God givin' you ears because of me, now listen

Shut your trap, and enjoy the rap (I'm grown now)


[Chorus]

Diamond in the back with the sunroof open

Driving down the freeway

Eyes real low, just singin my song

Driving down the freeway

Life already fast so I'm movin along, yeah

Driving down the freeway

Blowin my smoke all by myself, just

Driving down the freeway
