[Verse 1: Shad]

I remember 17 when I was drivin' home

I realized that to be a man is to be alone

Drive, that's when I learned to Drive

Snow was fallin' all around the car

Maybe freedom is when people don't know where you are

Drive, that's when I learned to Drive

So I drove winding roads, top of Poplar Hill

Maybe power is when they don't know who got em (killed)

Drive, that's when I learned to Drive

[Spoken: Shad]

I had a dream that I climbed down

From the so called "high grounds"

They were still firing live rounds

But everything was quiet

And I awoke on the chapel floor

Wiped my tears and grabbed my rifle by the chapel door

Walked back on the street

That feeling is fleeting as I try to keep

The dream is sweet, but violence doesn't sleep so we

Drive

Clever men and our violence

Clever men and our violence
