Sasha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Music: Michael B. & di Lorenzo
Lyrics: Michael B., di Lorenzo & Pete Smith

Verse 1
Twincam, Turbocharge, Fuel injection
Drive shaft, Jet black, wider wheels
Alloy caps, front grills, automatic,
Car fanatic
Raving up from under me

Verse 2
Four speaker bass bins, wheel spins,
Stereo, fog lights, accelerate,
Motorway, cruise control, low suspension,
Hypertension,
Pumping up inside of me

Chorus
I wanna drive my car
With no speed-limit
Wanna drive it fast
Foot down on the gas
And the wheels turn round and round
(nothing's gonna get me down) or (I ain't gonna hang around)

Verse 3
Foot down on the floor
Roof back,
Slam the doors,
Get inside, we can ride,
Take the wheel for a while
Tail lights
White lines
C'mon, take a ride with me
No cash, can't splash
Don't care, I swear,
No bank, full tank,
Blowing smoke in the air
Baby, come on, take a seat right next to me

Middle section, add libs

Final chorus
I wanna drive my car
I wanna drive my car




I wanna drive my car
I wanna drive my car
