Jawsh 685 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We don't wait for the green light
We just go when it feel right
Let's just drift for the night (drift)
Let's just drift for the night
We don't wait for the weekend
Take a dive off the deep end
Let's just drift for the night
Ayy, move out the way
Drive too fast, can't cap in the fast lane, yeah
I don't care 'bout the fear
Drop a gear, disappear
Ayy, move out the way
Drive too fast, can't cap in the fast lane, yeah
I don't care 'bout the fear
Drop a gear, disappear
Ooh, look at you playing it safe
Look at me, dead in my face
Too fast, straight out the gate
Get out my, get out my, get out my way
You don't wanna play this game, uh
You don't wanna step in my lane, uh
If you don't got the money in the bag and your foot up on the gas, then you better just brake
Oh, you see how we riding
You can hear the sound from over the horizon
Moving at high speeds, ignore the sirens
You know we live fast and then we dying, dying
We don't wait for the green light
We just go when it feel right
Let's just drift for the night (drift)
Let's just drift for the night
Drift, drift, drift, drift, drift, drift, drift, drift, drift, drift, drift, drift, drift
Let's just drift for the night
Drift, drift, drift, drift, drift, drift, drift, drift, drift, drift, drift, drift, drift
Let's just drift for the night
Ayy, move out the way
Drive too fast, can't cap in the fast lane, yeah
I don't care 'bout the fear
Drop a gear, disappear
Ayy, move out the way
Drive too fast, can't cap in the fast lane, yeah
I don't care 'bout the fear
Drop a gear, disappear
Oh, you see how we riding
You can hear the sound from over the horizon
Moving at high speeds, ignore the sirens
You know we live fast and then we dying, dying
We don't wait for the green light
We just go when it feel right
Let's just drift for the night (drift)
Let's just drift for the night
We don't wait for the green light
We just go when it feel right
Let's just drift for the night (drift)
Let's just drift for the night
We don't wait for the weekend
Take a dive off the deep end
