Drifting
Professoar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel like I’m drifting away
I’m stuck in my ways, feel like I’m loosing today.
I feel like I need me a pound
I’ll break it right down then we’ll be smoking it down.
Smoking it down and cruising around recycle repeat in the night
I feel like I’m living the life, and there’s never been doubt in my sight.

El choppa with the pesos and the long clip with the drako

And I walk around with that poncho because everywhere I go I get wet.
She stupid she calling collect
I’m out here I’m cashing these checks
You hatin you knowing im next
You stupid you stupid I’m dripping it’s wet.

I feel like I’m drifting away
I’m stuck in my ways, feel like I’m loosing today.
I feel like I need me a pound
I’ll break it right down then we’ll be smoking it down.
Smoking it down and cruising around recycle repeat in the night
I feel like I’m living the life, and there’s never been doubt in my sight.

And I’ve never been stumped in a drought
I’m livin in clout, you know I be up in her mouth
I’m in and I’m out, I know what the game is about
Got the bag on me no doubt
I’m the bad dad got a bitch mad yeah she so sad I’m a douche bag
But I’m switching my lanes, I’m taking the game, this feeling I’m going insane

I feel like I’m drifting away
I’m stuck in my ways, feel like I’m loosing today.
I feel like I need me a pound
I’ll break it right down then we’ll be smoking it down.
Smoking it down and cruising around recycle repeat in the night
I feel like I’m living the life, and there’s never been doubt in my sight.

I’m running the race, these niggas can’t keep with the pace
I’m blowing that loud in their face
Rocking Bob Marley since back in the day
Get in the back, but I’m in the front
Got an attitude like I’m Mr. Park
Flexin I feel like the rock
No where to go but the top
And I’m always ahead of the clock

I feel like I’m drifting away
I’m stuck in my ways, feel like I’m loosing today.
I feel like I need me a pound
I’ll break it right down then we’ll be smoking it down.

Smoking it down and cruising around recycle repeat in the night
I feel like I’m living the life, and there’s never been doubt in my sight.

Overall Meaning

The song "Drifting" by Professoar explores feelings of detachment and a sense of being lost in one's own habits and routines. The singer expresses a desire to break free from this monotony and find some kind of escape or release. The reference to needing a pound and breaking it down to smoke indicates a desire to find solace in drugs, as a way to temporarily escape reality. The repetition in the chorus, "smoking it down and cruising around recycle repeat in the night," suggests a cyclical pattern of seeking temporary relief but ultimately returning to the same unfulfilling routine.

In the verses, the lyrics take on a more aggressive tone, with references to weapons and a sense of superiority. The line "everywhere I go I get wet" could be interpreted as the singer constantly encountering obstacles or challenges, but remaining unfazed and continuing on their path. The lyrics also touch on themes of materialism and success, boasting about cashing checks and being ahead of others in terms of wealth and status. The repetition of "I feel like I'm living the life" and the confidence expressed in "there's never been doubt in my sight" suggest that despite the potential emptiness of the singer's lifestyle, they still find a sense of fulfillment and purpose in it.

Overall, "Drifting" seems to capture the internal struggle between a desire for escape and a simultaneous desire for validation and success in the present. It explores themes of detachment, repetition, the allure of temporary relief, materialism, and the search for meaning and purpose.
