Drive In
MED Blu & Madlib feat. Aloe Blacc Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, yeah, yeah
Backseat of my Jeep, I swing a episode
Young sister wants to stroll with a heavy load
She say "It ain't the way you bend it, it's the way you spend it"
She saw me dippin' and she hope I wasn't tryna pimp it
Tryna get it cause I fit it better
Met a red bone, got the Akinyele off my acapella
And I can tell that she was jealous, cause my love was lavish
It's like water for chocolate, but she wasn't Spanish
Had to happen more than daily on the daily, though
She say she "Ain't no radio", like "Play me, yo"
Baby go back like backyard boogie and bagpipes
I'm pulling niggas rap card fully like I smash mics
Lie smooth with the coolers at the party
Hookers in the lobby tryna keep me out the swap meets
But, mommy remind me of that G rolling by me
Blinking, the God Almighty he ain't knock-up nobody
But yo

She got style and grace
Oh, she's a beauty
Sophisticated lady like the ones from the movies
Her love is the ocean
Oh, I wanna dive in
Let me take it back to the old school
be my girl til I drive in, drive in, drive in

Uh, yeah
Miss porter we still mobbin on fear, bother
Rest fears on the cashmere, I still got 'em
You walk slick, thick
Behind wobblin', when I beat it
Probably can read in the crime column
My gift shit, heels lift lick from Cool Whip
Commit it, tho
Netflix used to be my hidden goal
Purple rolls in the elbow swollen
Gazelle still on the strokin' tail bone broken, oh
Golden Globe, fresh
Soul in flesh
Photo's set
Pose like I should have brought a Tech (blak!)
Through respect your finesse
Got me thinking weekends
Summer, fall, spring
Squeak em while I wig the singin'
Nothing like the realest thing
Don't worry, love never hurry
Make it hurricane
I'm saying, rain overdo
Full pleasure on the pedestal
Who ever bent
Nobody do it better than you, you, you

She got style and grace
Oh, she's a beauty
Sophisticated lady like the ones from the movies
Her love is the ocean
Oh, I wanna dive in




Let me take it back to the old school
be my girl til I drive in, drive in, drive in

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Drive In" by MED Blu Madlib poetically describe the experience of being young and carefree, exploring new relationships and enjoying life's pleasures. The opening lines describe the singer in the backseat of a Jeep, enjoying a sexual encounter with a woman who is impressed by his ability to spend lavishly. The singer meets another woman, a red bone, and impresses her with his rap skills, which apparently earns him some jealousy from the first woman. The singer then reminisces about some of the parties he has attended, where he has faced challenges, flirted with hookers, and encountered many different people. However, he seems to be drawn to a particular woman who possesses style, grace, and sophistication - the kind of woman you might see in a movie. He admires her beauty and imagines diving into her love like an ocean.


The lyrics of "Drive In" capture the feeling of being young and alive, enjoying fun and adventure, but also searching for deeper meaning in life. The singer is confident, but at times he appears to be grappling with his own morality, perhaps wondering if his carefree lifestyle is really fulfilling. The song's chorus reflects this search for deeper meaning, as the singer sings about finding true love that can last until the drive-in movie is over. The overall tone of the song is one of nostalgia and reflection - a longing for the good times of the past, but also a recognition that life is full of both joy and sorrow.

I've been into hip hop since I was a child but this is without a doubt one of the most beautiful tracks I've ever heard. It made me feel things I hadn't felt for a long time. Within the first 3 seconds, I knew this was gonna be special. The beat is almost too good to be true WTF! I only found this by accident just now and that's a sin. 30 thousand views... really?! Madlib is a straight up musical genius!
