Drive Careful Lyrics

I'm learning everyday who it is I make music for, lay it out simple

And be honest, there's more to explore Even I gotta watch it when I notice I get

too mature Thought sharing certain life details will

get me through the door Rich fantasies preferred so ain't nobody thinking poor

I do get it cause they can broke, won't inspire me more

An old soul and a child at heart, yin and the yang for your boy

But I'm trying my best to be wiser when I pick out a choice

Even my anxiety knows what it's like living wild

Drinking so much caffeine, we gon' be here for a while

What's life without adventure, ain't no need of blocking it out

When it's time for the next move, my answer's the beginning of Choppa Style

Just cause I'm always so quick to jot it down

I treat it like I'm journaling, with a lot of sound

But not everybody can relate to what one shares though

It's really a slippery slope out here I'm trying to drive careful

Other means of communication when I can't give my therapist an earful

Voice in my head saying don't overshare, just be cool

Follow these words and trust me it'll all go smooth

Even on the best of schedules I ain't been getting good sleep

Thinking about how I'm supposed to move forward but sometimes it be hard to speak

To whatever it is that goes on in the morning when them ideas just creep

And I keep my phone down for good practice so it's really hope that I keep

That I remember it all by the morningtime, the thoughts truly be on overdrive

I think back to all those older times, when everything around me felt so alive

And that's not to say I ain't trying but truth be told I would be lying

If I said I saw everything on the, hold on man

Remembering when we was side to side with the Charger and Camaro

Every day was riding double barrel before long hours

Damn near thought they had superpowers

With how much the fam loved cigarettes and alcohol

Just trying to come up, whether it be scratch off tickets or Powerball

Wasn't too far and the change got blew faster

Safe to say that with that combination we was having

Then it was time to pull off for the week

But if we didn't know nothing else we always knew to drive careful when we speed

Didn't have too many needs it was really the moments that kept us intrigued

Street lights still blinking I'm sure

Time passed so they still blinking some more

This calm street really be talking with the way these days set up I wouldn't be walking

Stayed next to chicks with redneck accents

But we didn't get very far

It seemed cool at the time but I'm pretty sure that they used the hard ER

Oysters was always on the schedule but we was skeptical 'bout eating them raw

Now every time it's a R in a month

We always just like to get together and just dozen them off

It's crazy cause I learned a lot and he would say it twice

So we knew we were hear it

That message came across the clearest

Even when it was time to hurt some feelings

But that's the foundation that did get to building

When I wanted to pick up a pen and just kill it

Even let us be a part of our first wedding

Didn't like lighters so that part there I dreaded

Caught the bouquet but I'm not quite there yet

Even if we didn't get it on the first try

I mean eventually we learned how to drive careful

Now I'm just trying to make sure I adjust the levels

Cause it ain't always sweet when it's yourself you gotta question

Especially when you get called up front for efforts and methods

Or even wonder if the thoughts you do spill are the ones you could've kept in

But fuck internalizing

Fuck trying to show your worth to those who don't know the value

No more trying to excuse unacceptable behavior

My thoughts is my thoughts so no more trying to waiver

I'ma continue preaching and take my time with it

Except you ain't gotta starve and hop in a line with it

Take whatever you want, it ain't just wine and biscuits

Never thought I'd be this self-expressive

But that's divine intervention

Thoughts never deep as a puddle so why throw pebbles

Trying to break the chains and not be so fearful

I'm just painting a picture, work in progress or never

More pictures to create but lemme go ahead and drive careful

Nothing wrong with a little course correcting

I simply just want myself and my loved ones to be protected

And may the losses be lessons

And that good energy comes with the unexpected
