Drive You Lyrics

I smoke life and I exhale death

Got suicide in my lungs, purgatory on my breath

Got demons in my chest that make me rhyme like I'm possessed

I let 'em do what they do, homie, the vodka does the rest

I take everything I've repressed, no matter how minute

And I shoot it out, baby, Columbine in the booth

Yup, I shoot truth serum in your ear

When it comes to Greatness, believe everything you hear

'Cause I can't help myself, I'm too real how I feel

I report to the mic, it's my April O'Neil

The corner light quicksand so why I don't sink?

On the block so long Rudolph's nose fadin' to pink

The street lights flickered and I didn't even blink

Got the Kelly Bundy mind, I don't even need to think

Trust the smell of my guts, yup, my instincts

I don't even write I drink beer and piss ink

'Cause, baby, I don't want it, I just need it

I don't want it, I just need it

I don't want it, I just need it

I don't want it, I just need it

I can't even leave the crib in my Bret Hart shirt

Without some jerk askin' what I injected in the verse

"You're Layne Cobain, ain't you?"

"Injectin' that dirt?"

What you read in the dirt sheets ain't worth dirt

But for what it's worth, I just spit what I'm sure of

Sometimes I gotta vent like Jesse "The Body"

You're a nobody to me

Surely you know about me

You ain't a big problem, homie

Nah, you're small beef

You're little like Dwayne Carter

I rock like Shawn Carter

You rhymin's like Vince Carter in Toronto, why bother

I get your whole block's attention brought up

Like car horns that pull up and play La Cucaracha

You cockroaches are cuckoo, little homie, I got you

A little Raid to air out your brigade

And you can front on my name and act like I ain't heard of

But we know that what they don't know wouldn't hurt 'em

And I don't want it, I just need it

I don't want it, I just need it

I don't want it, I just need it

I don't want it, I just need it

A pair of brown eyes stared into mine and said,

"Look, you really need to get it together.

I don't believe you when you say you're not addicted

'Cause true integrity is just so hard to measure.

That far away look is in your eyes more than ever

And allowing it to drive you seems to bring you pleasure.

I think it's safe to say we're better off not speaking

And besides, I can do so much better."

And I took that criticism right to the heart

Kept everybody in the dark about just how bad that remark hit me

Quickly grew apart from everyone I knew

Well, I didn't know 'em, but at least that's what I thought

I put that money in Gerry's hand, supply and demand

A half hour later, I can't even fuckin' stand

His brother's face first on the floor, droolin' on the carpet

And we're really not sure if he's asleep or unconscious

But I don't want it, I just need it

I don't want it, I just need it

I don't want it, I just need it

I don't want it, I just need it
