Drive In
MED Blu Madlib & Aloe Blacc Lyrics

Backseat of my Jeep, I swing a episode
I am sitting in the back of my Jeep, feeling some intense emotions.

Young sister wants to stroll with a heavy load
A young woman is interested in being with me, despite any difficulties that might come with it.

She say "It ain't the way you bend it, it's the way you spend it"
She tells me that it's not just about how I use my money, but how I use my time and energy as well.

She saw me dippin' and she hope I wasn't tryna pimp it
She noticed me trying to be suave and flirtatious, and hopes that I'm not trying to take advantage of her.

Tryna get it cause I fit it better
I'm trying to establish a romantic connection with this woman because I believe we are a good match.

Met a red bone, got the Akinyele off my acapella
I met a light-skinned woman, and I was able to impress her with my rhymes.

And I can tell that she was jealous, cause my love was lavish
The woman was envious of the attention I gave to other people, because I was being so generous with my love.

It's like water for chocolate, but she wasn't Spanish
The intensity of my feelings is comparable to the passion in the book 'Like Water for Chocolate,' but the woman I was with was not of Spanish descent.

Had to happen more than daily on the daily, though
These intense feelings and connections happen to me often, even on a daily basis.

She say she "Ain't no radio", like "Play me, yo"
The woman says that she is not just a passive listener, she wants to be actively involved in our connection.

Baby go back like backyard boogie and bagpipes
Our connection goes way back, like retro dance moves and old Scottish instruments.

I'm pulling niggas rap card fully like I smash mics
I am calling out other rappers who are not being genuine, just like I confidently rock the mic when I perform.

Lie smooth with the coolers at the party
I am being charming and suave with other partygoers and keeping my cool.

Hookers in the lobby tryna keep me out the swap meets
Even sex workers try to stand in the way of my connections with people.

But, mommy remind me of that G rolling by me
Despite the obstacles, I am reminded of a gangster who passed by me, and I feel confident and unbothered.

Blinking, the God Almighty he ain't knock-up nobody
The reference to blinking is unclear, but it could suggest I am allowed to do what I want without expecting consequences from a higher power.

Miss porter we still mobbin on fear, bother
I mention Miss Porter, probably referencing the famous girls' school, and say that we are still moving forward despite any perceived obstacles or worries.

Rest fears on the cashmere, I still got 'em
I try to put my fears at ease, but they remain close to me, like the material cashmere.

You walk slick, thick
The woman I'm with has a confident and alluring walk.

Behind wobblin', when I beat it
Even though she is thick, she is still able to move smoothly and attractively.

Probably can read in the crime column
The woman I am with seems smart and streetwise, and could understand the language of crime-related news articles.

My gift shit, heels lift lick from Cool Whip
I feel like I have a natural talent, and people are impressed by how I use it.

Commit it, tho
Even though I have this talent, I still need to commit to practicing and honing it.

Netflix used to be my hidden goal
I used to aspire to be on Netflix as a way of gaining recognition.

Purple rolls in the elbow swollen
I have bruises or soreness on my elbow from rolling a rolled-up drug (referred to as a 'purple roll').

Gazelle still on the strokin' tail bone broken, oh
Even though I am hurting and possibly in danger (due to the broken tail bone), I am still able to move gracefully like a gazelle.

Golden Globe, fresh
I am doing well and victorious, like someone who just won a Golden Globe award.

Soul in flesh
I feel alive and present in my own body.

Photo's set
Every moment feels picture-perfect and worth capturing in a photograph.

Pose like I should have brought a Tech (blak!)
I strike a confident and powerful pose as if I should be holding a gun (a 'Tech') in my hand.

Through respect your finesse
I can recognize and appreciate other people's skills and finesse.

Got me thinking weekends
I am filled with happy and carefree thoughts, as one might have on the weekend.

Summer, fall, spring
I am enjoying life in every season, with no complaints or worries.

Squeak em while I wig the singin'
I am dancing and singing, and it's so good that it makes me feel happy and carefree.

Nothing like the realest thing
Even though I have some success and recognition, there's nothing like real, genuine connections with people.

Don't worry, love never hurry
I am not in a rush when it comes to love, and I'm not worried about finding it at the right moment.

Make it hurricane
I want to make love and romance so intense and powerful that it's like a hurricane.

I'm saying, rain overdo
My feelings and expressions of affection are deeper than just a passing shower of rain.

Full pleasure on the pedestal
I am on top of the world and experiencing pure pleasure and happiness.

Who ever bent
I am making it clear that no one has ever broken me, and I am still standing strong.

Nobody do it better than you, you, you
I am telling someone that they are the best at what they do, and no one else can compare.

She got style and grace
This woman I am attracted to has a beautiful and elegant way of being.

Oh, she's a beauty
I find her to be stunningly beautiful.

Sophisticated lady like the ones from the movies
She has the refined and polished qualities of a female character in a movie.

Her love is the ocean
Her love is deep and expansive, like the ocean.

Oh, I wanna dive in
I am eager to fully immerse myself in her love and everything about her.

Let me take it back to the old school
I want to remember and embrace the timeless qualities of love and courtship.

be my girl til I drive in, drive in, drive in
I want to build a deep and lasting connection with this woman, for as long as I can.
