Driver
Nikki Jean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can be your driver (yes I can)
Heard you got that killer
Bet I'm a survivor (yes I am)
With your eyes so low
Know you got that fire
Where you wanna go
I can be your driver
A little short on time and money
A little long on wants and needs
Beg your pardon has your hard on met the heart on my sleeve
Well I spend my nights at these
Red cup parties
Got a ticket, can't afford the fare
Know what I mean
Ain't got the means
But we both tryna get somewhere
I can be your chauffeur
I can be your driver
Heard you got that killer
Bet I'm a survivor
Yes I am
With your eyes so low
Know you got that fire
Where you wanna go
I can be your driver
Ain't no money in the meter honey I can feed it
Thinking we should beat it you supreme and undefeated I'm
57 Chevy classic curved like a 911 with a lil red corvette magic
Don't you hate when bad chicks talk mad shit
Like you ain't never had shit from they trash whip
Look see I ain't trying to be more than the one
That get you where you wanna go
See I can be your chauffeur
Killer
Killer
Yes I am
I'll be your driver
Say it
Say it again
I'll be your driver
Baby
I'll be your driver
I'll be your
The song "Driver" by Nikki Jean is a groovy and upbeat track with a catchy chorus that talks about the prospect of driving someone somewhere they want to go. The first verse starts with Nikki offering to be the listener's chauffeur and driver if they need one. She is confident that she can handle the task of being a driver, especially if the listener has "got that killer" energy. Nikki assures the listener that she is a survivor and can take them wherever they want to go with her impressive driving skills.
In the second verse, Nikki talks about her lack of financial strength but her desire to go places. She spends her nights at parties and has a ticket but can't afford the fare. However, she doesn't let that stop her from dreaming and striving for more. She then talks about the car she wants to drive the listener in, a '57 Chevy classic curved like a 911 with a little red corvette magic. Nikki is eager to drive the listener in this beautiful car and take them anywhere they want to go.
Overall, the song is about the excitement and possibility of driving someone you care about, even if you don't have much money. It's about the joy of cruising with someone and singing at the top of your lungs, not worrying about the destination. The song is a fun and lighthearted take on being a driver for someone special.

57 Chevy classic curved like a 911 with a lil red corvette magic
My car is a classic 1957 Chevrolet with sleek curves resembling that of a Porsche 911, with a bit of the charm of a red Corvette

Loved Nikki ever since I saw her on Lupe's hiphop saved my life. Wish she would have blown up bigger since then but if she's getting paid and supporting herself doing what she loves can't complain about that.
