The Drive Songtext
von D‐Tropp

Yeah

How many times do I gotta pray before I see a blessing come my way?
I′m feeling like I lost my way, I'm just
Tryna make a way (Tryna make a way)
Take me back to those glory days when there
Was more of love and not more of change
We were young and dumb and now we growing up

But what if we can′t? (What if we can't?)
Uh, can't take no handouts, gotta make my own plans now
And I′ll never be outstanding unless I stand out
Understand now that I could′ve died before twenty-two
But I was born to live a legacy

And this the life that I would die for

So I'ma live it out until the death of me

I′ma tell my story and they cheering for me


To God be the glory, young kid but I'm more a king
They say that if you got the drive, you′ll make it far
So I'm switching lanes on this road of
Dreams and I′m never playing in the park
Now you know

I know you see me
But I know you see something better
And at times I get weak
But I know you make me better
I need to move, move, move, oh yeah
Move, move, move, oh
Right away, can we ride away?
Right away, let's ride away

Uh, this one's for you

Uh, can I take it deeper than rap?

Can I take you back to my childhood? Can I take you back to my past?

My birth mom was on drugs and did about everything to try to keep me


But she knew that the best thing for her to do was just leave me
Best decision she could′ve made, man, I grew up like a champion
But being a black kid in a white school
Was hard to fit in like I was backin′ in
Cut from my talent show, they were sleeping on me like an Ambien
But even though they want you to lose
You can't forget that you plan to win
And I had neighbors that were racist, but I was still off to the races
′Cause what's the point of even having a
Goal if you let ′em tell you don't chase it?

And it ain′t even about the pen and paper
'Cause if I ain't bringing you hope, then I ain′t doing you a favor

I know you see me
But I know you see something better
And at times I get weak
But I know you make me better
I need to move, move, move, oh yeah
Move, move, move, oh
Right away, can we ride away?
Right away, let′s ride away
