Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thought I had your heart, but you was playin with my emotions
Funny thing is you knew the whole time baby, I know it
Tired of all this shit, now I'm just looking for devotion
Don't know where I'll be, I'm in the middle of the ocean
Drifting, yeah
Bitch, I'm drifting
Moving by my lonely, 'cause these niggas hate me winning
Feeling type of ways, and I know you hate that we distant
But I don't need nobody, call my phone and keep it ringing
Yeah, just know I won't pick it up
Lately I've been feeling like I'm running out of love
Put it in the past, baby, we've both had enough
I said put it in the past, baby, we've both had enough
We've both had enough
Lotta pressure on me
I'm really that nigga in my city
Tryna keep my focus
All of these hoes keep tryna get with me
Swear she never sober
Always off the molly, that's a pity
She keep touching on me
Bitch, I'm tryna get up in that kitty
Yeah, ah
Saying that you need some (huh) love
I ain't falling for this shit again, nah
No idea why you always seem to play pretend
Always say shit when you're lonely but you don't mean it
Drifting, yeah
Bitch, I'm drifting
Moving by my lonely, 'cause these niggas hate me winning
Feeling type of ways, and I know you hate that we distant
But I don't need nobody, call my phone and keep it ringing
Yeah, just know I won't pick it up
Lately I've been feeling like I'm running out of love
Put it in the past, baby, we've both had enough
I said put it in the past, baby, we've both had enough
We've both had enough
I be feeling different whenever the sun set
Said that it was over but we both know we ain't done yet
Yeah, you say that you hate me, why you upset?
All the shit you put me through, no I can never forget
No
Trust me, it hurts to see you go
I can't take feeling like this anymore
Time to move on, girl what we had is over
This shit is over, yeah
Drifting, yeah
Bitch, I'm drifting
Moving by my lonely, 'cause these niggas hate me winning
Feeling type of ways, and I know you hate that we distant
But I don't need nobody, call my phone and keep it ringing
Yeah, just know I won't pick it up
Lately I've been feeling like I'm running out of love
Put it in the past, baby, we've both had enough
I said put it in the past, baby, we've both had enough
We've both had enough
Drifting, yeah
Bitch, I'm drifting
Moving by my lonely, 'cause these niggas hate me winning
Feeling type of ways, and I know you hate that we distant
But I don't need nobody, call my phone and keep it ringing
Yeah, just know I won't pick it up
Lately I've been feeling like I'm running out of love
Put it in the past, baby, we've both had enough




I said put it in the past, baby, we've both had enough
We've both had enough

Love the drifter cart.

Please don't straight pipe the 370Z!
1. Probably won't have enough back pressure and loose power.

2. Sound terrible

3. There are PLENTY of great aftermarket exhaust systems for that car

IMO

Now that you cut down the frame it may make sense to flip the stem back forward and angle the bars back towards you. It would give you more arm room.

Here’s a potential idea- ratrods and old school dragsters are awesome (love the little tikes build) but you guys should build an old school dragster with a potvin supercharger to really give it the vintage style!
