SZA – Drive lyrics
[Pre-Chorus]
I been up ’til midnight, drivin’ to nowhere
Bumpin’ a slow song, can’t get my head clear
I been up ’til sunrise, headed to nowhere
Hopin’ that someone’s missin’ me somewhere
[Chorus]
Drivin’, just drivin’
Just tryin’, just tryna get my head right
It’ll all be better when, when I
When I, just gotta get my head right
[Verse 1]
And it don’t hit the same when you’re all alone
And the money’s insane, I know
But it don’t fill the void at all
And I promised my mom I’d do better
But they keep trying me so I’m
With all the bullshit and fuck it all up
I keep pretеndin’ everyone’s as good as mе
Shit’s so weird I cannot speak
Balled so hard, I think I peaked
All my exes still love me
Call me up, he wanna freak
All my opps lookin’ distressed
How you copy then compete?
Oh, you just mad that your nigga want me
Oh, you just mad that we went ten weeks
Oh, you just mad that your ass ain’t free
Scared to say shit so you fake kiki
Scared to cut a nigga so I left, ski-ski
I ain’t scared of shit so I swing my meat
I ain’t scared of shit so I let mine go
Pop my shit ’cause I can, I know

[Pre-Chorus]
I been up ’til midnight, drivin’ to nowhere (Nowhere, nowhere)
Bumpin’ a slow song, can’t get my head clear
I been up ’til sunrise, headed to nowhere
Hopin’ that someone’s missin’ me somewhere
[Chorus]
Drivin’, just drivin’ (Just drivin’)
Just tryin’, just tryna get my head right
It’ll all be better when, when I
When I, just gotta get my head right
[Verse 2]
And I can’t lose my focus, I know if hope is the goal
Then I can’t succumb like these cum-guzzlers at all (Nope)
And I know that if love is my purpose
I can’t waste energy looking for enemies, I just dub it all
I’m anti-beef, half y’all bitches be too cheap
Half a milli when I bling, fuck I look like on my knees?
You really just mad ’cause I make it look easy
I’m really this bad, you should see it 3D
Brought you this bag, you should spend it on me
All of my time precious, so be
[Pre-Chorus]
I been up ’til midnight, drivin’ to nowhere (Nowhere, nowhere)
Bumpin’ a slow song, can’t get my head clear
I been up ’til sunrise, headed to nowhere
Hopin’ that someone’s missin’ me somewhere
[Chorus]
Drivin’, just drivin’ (Just drivin’)
Just tryin’, just tryna get my head right
It’ll all be better when, when I
When I, just gotta get my head right
