Driftin' Lyrics


Well, I've been driftin', liftin' my mind with these splits
And realizin' just in life what I'm missin'
There so much more then just regrets 'cause if you can't
Love yourself how can you love the nextYo, me and dirty we been kickin' it since old school
And I remember just chillin' out in my back yard
Sippingon some 40's writing songs laughing so hardIt always seemed like such a dream to me
It always seemed like it was so far from reality
But deep inside I always knew that it would be my path
And if I ever got a chance, yo, I would make it last but I've beenDriftin' so long from myself and from the pain
Driftin' so long, think I found a better way
I found a better way and now I strive for better daysI feel like I've been changing
And I dont' like just what I see
I feel like I'm the victim
And my own worst enemyWell, I've been driftin' missin' the times
We didn't listen to no one but ourselves
Because we knew we were on a mission
No one ever thought it'd happen
For two of the boys to get paid for rappingI got people looking after me the way I go the path I lead

Some say it's not a job but we practice like an athlete
I'm constantly driftin' but I finally found what I need
It's passing me in forms of speech every time I pass the beachDriftin' so long from myself and from the pain
Driftin' so long, think I found a better way
I found a better way and now I strive for better daysWell, I lost my path but I found my way
We can all learn from our own mistakes
Sometimes I'm wrong but I learn that way
But we won't ever know until we stopDriftin' so long from myself and from the pain
Driftin' so long, think I found a better wayI've been driftin', I've been driftin'
I've been driftin', I've been away

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
