Drive
Raiche Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stop and stare, my reflection
Lost and found, fresh out of Heaven
Countin' my blessings, make a call
Just to feel a connection
I've had some bad days like a Monday
But I can't let it faze me
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Never lose my cool
Slippin' and slidin' on these icy roads
Don't you give up when you're losing control
Leaning on all of my faith and my hope
Searching for my pot of gold
They know that I-I-I-I, I, I'm good by myself
I keep it in dri-i-i-i-ive, there's no turning back, whoa-oh, whoa
I'm tellin' you I-I-I-I, I'm good by myself
Oh, I-I-I-I, I drive
Shining bright, I'm fluorescent
Look at me now, pure like a reverend
Gon' do what I say any way, anyhow
There's no second guessingI've had some bad days like a Monday
But I can't let it faze me
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Never lose my cool
Slippin' and slidin' on these icy roads
Don't you give up when you're losing control
Leaning on all of my faith and my hope
Searching for my pot of gold, woo-ooh-whoa
They know that I-I-I-I, I, I'm good by myself
I keep it in dri-i-i-i-ive, there's no turning back, whoa-oh, whoa
I'm tellin' you I-I-I-I, I'm good by myself
Oh, I-I-I-I, I drive
Drivin' to the top on E
Can't let my dreams get away from me (From me)
I'm strong and I'm gonna find my way home
They know that I-I-I-I, I, I'm good by myself
I keep it in dri-i-i-i-ive, there's no turning back, whoa-oh, whoa
I'm tellin' you I-I-I-I, I'm good by myself
Oh, I-I-I-I, I drive
They know that I-I-I-I, I, I'm good by myself
I keep it in dri-i-i-i-ive, there's no turning back, whoa-oh, whoa




I'm tellin' you I-I-I-I, I'm good by myself
Oh, I-I-I-I, I drive

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Raiche's song "Drive" describe the singer's confidence and resilience in the face of adversity. The opening lines describe the singer looking at themselves in the mirror, feeling a sense of being lost and found at the same time, as if they've been "fresh out of heaven." The singer then counts their blessings and tries to connect with others to feel less alone. Despite having bad days like a Monday, the singer refuses to let it get to them and maintains their cool. They liken their life to driving on icy roads, a challenging and treacherous experience, but one that they refuse to give up on. The singer leans on their faith and hope to guide them in their search for their "pot of gold," or their personal success.


Throughout the song, the singer emphasizes their self-sufficiency and independence. They note that they're good by themselves and keep moving forward, no matter what obstacles they face. The chorus repeats the line "I keep it in drive, there's no turning back," which reinforces the idea of always moving forward and not dwelling on the past. The bridge of the song seems to address the singer's dreams and their determination to make them a reality. Despite feeling exhausted and depleted ("drivin' to the top on E"), the singer knows that they can't let their dreams slip away.


On a larger scale, the song could be interpreted as a motivational anthem that encourages listeners to persevere through hardship and stay true to their goals. The repeated refrain of "I drive" emphasizes the importance of taking control of one's life and steering it in the direction of success.
