Oh man, give me your keys. You drive my car, I mean take my keys. Don't text and drive, don't drink and drive, don't tweet and drive.

Last time I can't remember all the party and bullshit, we was too throwed, yeah we drove off the road. Thought that we were supposed to die when we were old. I'm just trying to live right now, I hope I die when I'm old. But girl I swear I died when I saw you. I tried to text you or call you, and the next thing you know, yeah I drove off the road. Under the influence, I'm out of control. Girl, you're driving me so crazy.

Okay Darryl saw Carrol at a party, but was scared to speak. Few cups of liquid courage later he like, "Dawg, I think she's staring at me." But Darryl seen a pair of Carrols, his vision impaired. Apparently she walked over like, "Where is the weed, you ready to go?" Wherever she leads they gone. On the highway to hell, no. Who cares if you speak, we just young we don't give a fuck bout nothing. So they careless, not wearing a seat belt. Fasten up, time out like Zack in uh, Saved By The Bell. Say fuck fashion, I'm trying to cash in off this passion.

What the hell, well, back to the story. I'm lifted, I'm drifted, so was D, mostly from most of the drow. His was like Tokyo, driving fast and he curious. If he crashes dad will be furious. See Darryl was rather well off so the ride was rather luxurious, but money can't buy you second chances. Carrol's character was giving suggestive glances. Sexual advances, next thing you know they at second base. Ahead of schedule, never planned this. Let's just say the next scene was a little less than romantic.
Last time I can't remember all the party and bullshit, we was too throwed, yeah we drove off the road. Thought that we were supposed to die when we were old. I'm just trying to live right now, just tryin to live right now, just tryin to live right now.

Ehh, I'm on the way, I'm in the car now.

How you know when enough is enough? No such thing as too much, that's what's up and what you living for. I got a life but I don't get it. So easy to lose what you got trying to get it, I'm no longer with it. The last track was a metaphor for a crash course. These hoes will have you unfocused and I know it. I'm poured, driving like I stole it. On my way, but the story never get told if a telephone pole is on the line like, why the hell you ain't home yet. Gotta finish the out, say I'm real but I'm lonely. Now I'm swerving trying to hurry up, I'm horny. Syrup and a bar, straight purple no sony. Hatin on the low cause see my worst I don't show it. I fucks with ya, know the words to my old shit. Ain't nothing changed but the calendar pages and my girl temperament. She be having hard days when she don't want to be bothered. Sometimes I rather not say shit. Either that or I'm snapping. What happened to my patience? But you be having conversations bout you having my baby. I'm a man first, rap's just my occupation.

I'm a man first, rap's just my occupation. But it's keeping me out of jail so how could I not be thankful.





Starlito, Fried Turkey.

Overall Meaning

The first lines of Starlito's song The D.U.I. Song have a thoughtful message that encourages listeners not to drive under the influence. The song goes on to tell the story of two party-goers, Darryl and Carrol, who leave a party under the influence. Although they both had been drinking and smoking, Carrol invites Darryl to accompany her in a luxurious car ride. They lack precaution by failing to wear a seatbelt and driving recklessly. However, the story takes a left turn because they are attracted to each other, leading to an unwarranted adventure which ends rather unromantically. The chorus, which repeats the lines "Last time I can't remember all the party and bullshit, we was too throwed, yeah we drove off the road," serves as a warning shot to people and suggests that drunk driving can have many unpleasant and unintended consequences.

We made some regrettable decisions while under the influence last time. It's a wake-up call to prioritize living while we're young and responsible, in hopes of seeing old age. My infatuation took over and caused me to be distracted while driving, leading to a dangerous situation.


Okay Darryl saw Carrol at a party, but was scared to speak. Few cups of liquid courage later he like, "Dawg, I think she's staring at me." But Darryl seen a pair of Carrols, his vision impaired.

Darryl lacked confidence to approach Carrol until he had some drinks. His vision was blurry and he mistook someone else for her. She initiated drug use and leaving the party together, which they didn't see as a risk. They were not concerned with safety, even disregarding seat belts. He is prioritizing success over style and not conforming to societal norms.


What the hell, well, back to the story. I'm lifted, I'm drifted, so was D, mostly from most of the drow. His was like Tokyo, driving fast and he curious. If he crashes dad will be furious.

Sexual advances, next thing you know they at second base. Ahead of schedule, never planned this. Let's just say the next scene was a little less than romantic.
Continuing the story, we were under the influence and driving recklessly. Darryl's drug intake was particularly high and he was driving dangerously out of curiosity, which could anger his father if he crashes. Even though he was wealthy, money cannot undo the consequences of poor decisions. Carrol was flirting and initiating physical intimacy, which caught them both off guard and was not a planned outcome.


Last time I can't remember all the party and bullshit, we was too throwed, yeah we drove off the road. Thought that we were supposed to die when we were old. I'm just trying to live right now, just tryin to live right now, just tryin to live right now.
Reflecting on the past, we partied too hard and endangered ourselves by driving while intoxicated. This prompted us to appreciate life more and prioritize living responsibly in the present.


Ehh, I'm on the way, I'm in the car now.
I'm on my way and currently driving.


How you know when enough is enough? No such thing as too much, that's what's up and what you living for. I got a life but I don't get it.

It's difficult to determine when to stop indulging in vices. Striving for excess is what society praises, but it's not fulfilling. My life seems meaningless and it's easy to lose what you have while pursuing more. I recognized that the previous song was a warning of the dangers of pursuing fleeting pleasures. Women can distract from responsibilities and lead to bad decisions. While driving under the influence and in a rush, my attention is divided, and I'm feeling disconnected and alone. My partner is going through a tough time and I'm struggling to know how to help or communicate. Sometimes I'm short-tempered and impatient with her. However, it does not change my priorities and values as a man.


I'm a man first, rap's just my occupation. But it's keeping me out of jail so how could I not be thankful.
My identity as a man is more important than my career as a rapper. However, rapping has provided me with opportunities and kept me out of legal trouble, so I'm grateful for it.
