Drive

Lyrics

[Intro] See, there's a formula to this Gotta be built for it For the long run Hey [Verse 1] They ask how I keep growing, and why I'm still flowing And what is my motivation and why I keep going And when will I start slipping, how many years longer And how after 30+, I seem to get stronger Talent is God given, but laziness can trickle it The skill I was born with, the desire to triple it Meticulous craft work, never passing up one step The sick ability to keep manufacturing concepts Pushing the envelope, chancing and being risky Striving to write what's never been written in history Unseen extreme hard hours of practice Touching the masses of all age demographics Making my place when it's said and done, undebateable Conquering every continent, staying relatable Mind full of bullets, I'm shooting em' all off First rapper to never slip or never fall off [Chorus] That's drive, drive, drive Drive drive drive drive For as long as I'm alive live Live, live, live, live I'll never lose my [Verse 2] When I sit down and write, I'm focused and I'm determined As long as you keep learning the flames keep burning Can't expect to be elite if my product is weak Sometimes I dream of sick lines and wake up out of my sleep I want to stay in bed, but I got bars to submit I stagger to my book and write em' down before I forget Gotta dig deeper and deeper when I'm designing 'Cause there's another writer somewhere putting the time in Infinitely climbing, not minding to suffer So if he's up to 5am writing I'm up 'til 6 I gotta make sure my raps are the best Fell asleep with my folder, beat playing, collapsed on my desk If I think it, I say it, to the wind I throw caution Forcing my thoughts to extreme points of exhaustion Deep from inside, what's keeping the flame alive Is taking pride in mine and never losing my drive [Chorus] That's drive, drive, drive Drive drive drive drive For as long as I'm alive live Live, live, live, live I'll never lose my [Verse 3] I got a voice in my head that keeps me on balance And it's been with me ever since I took on the challenge From day one it said, "If you're serious I'll show ya The difference between being great and mediocre And greatness ain't easy, it's hard being creative Do you wanna imitate or be lyrically innovative? Being passionate about it and clever's a win win And the goal is to dominate, never to blend in Will you quit 'cause people don't wanna hear no realism? When they say they don't like you, can you handle the criticism? Do you lack the ferocity to masticate every track up When you do become great will you get complacent and slack up" I said that I'm determined and I'll always remain to be I'll never cheat the game by disrespecting it's sanctity While others violate it shamelessly I'll do my best to never disappoint the people if I'm the artist they came to see [Chorus] That's drive, drive, drive Drive drive drive drive For as long as I'm alive live Live, live, live, live I'll never lose my
