young prophet - driftin’ away lyrics

[intro]
a new life for me
a new life for me
you know how i fe—
a new life for me
breeze!
its a new life for me
breeze!
breeze!
ohh
ohhhh

[hook]
i been feelin like i’m driftin’ away
it ain’t been too much to say
i’m just waitin on a lucrative day
sometimes i’m feelin like the worst has yet to come but i pray
life wit’ minimum pain
they don’t know what’s at stake

i been feelin like i’m driftin’ away
it ain’t been too much to say
i’m just waitin on a lucrative day
sometimes i’m feelin like the worst has yet to come but i pray
life wit’ minimum pain
they don’t know what’s at stake
[verse 1]
i been conditioned into fearless efforts
this life we treasure never seems to settle
but still i’m pushin’ on the biggest peddles
they said i’m driftin’, but who saved the vessel?
if god loves you then, the devil meddles
supported several in this level gig
while they throwin pebbles, i just wrestle wit’ my mental
been a rebel on the treble
sh+t
at times i’m feeling like
i gave em all i had and that sh+t wasn’t enough
then doubled back & brung it up and still it wasn’t enough
i been feelin’ like i’m driftin’ away
time been slippin but aye, i tried to get it wit’ the time i was played
remember times they would say, “you won’t make it big”
i took that hate from out they heart, and now they sayin “sh+t..”
like “that’s the kid that i had knew from before?”
it shows you how a rose could grow if you just watered it mo’
d+mn

[hook]
i been feelin’ like im driftin’ away
it ain’t been too much to say
i’m just waitin’ on a lucrative day
sometimes i’m feelin’ like the worst has yet to come but i pray
life wit’ minimum pain
they dont know what’s at stake
i been feelin like i’m driftin’ away
it ain’t been too much to say
i’m just waitin on a lucrative day
sometimes i’m feelin like the worst has yet to come but i pray
life wit’ minimum pain
they don’t know what’s at stake

[dialogue: nipsey hussle]
you know i read one time like
“would you rather be at war with yourself and at peace with the world? or at peace with yourself and at war with the world?”
it’s about just, the, the
the authenticity & the honesty
i’m not in, you know, a culture of..
goin’ outside, hustlin’ every day no more
im not in a culture of, you know
being involved wit’
gang activity anymore
at that moment
for me to make art
i had to reflect on reality
you know?
so that would be, it would be untrue
i was talkin’ bout ballin’ or ownin’ businesses;
i didn’t
but, as my life changed
and as the reality of what i was actually living changed, i had to change..
what fueled the art
you know what i mean?
and i think, that’s what keep it..
accessible
[verse 2]
driftin’
who would’ve thought that i’d be distant
such a penchant to the cuts i’ve been in
a love for sinnin’ but i pray for peace
this here wisdom that i tend to speak
will have you watchin verbiage until you see what i see
u+n+i+t
why should i try when they actin like these lines ain’t hot?
that’s the type of patience that i ain’t got
why should i try? cuz there’s money on the line
and that sh+t driftin’ away
you don’t want a life wit’ minimum pay
that sh+t ain’t doing it’s thang
the mean time, between time?
you just improving ya game
you gotta groove to the pain
we been jammin’
and i don’t know about a comfy life, with lavish glitz and glammer
money scattered all across the floors, liquor coke and wh0res
man, that sh+t is bound to leave you wanting more, with death right by ya door
i lived a thousand lives and crashing out was never part of yours
you gotta drift away from time to time to elevate your core

[sample]
breeze!
breeze!
driftin’ on—
breeze!
driftin’ on by
breeze!
breeze!
driftin’ on by
breeze!
breeze!
you know how i fe—
breeze!
driftin’ on
breeze!
breeze!
dri—dri— driftin’ on by
