Drifting
Zap Mama Feat. G. Love Lyrics

Got this flight to London, I ain't pop no Xans for it
I took a flight to London without taking any Xanax pills for anxiety.

In case you was wonderin', I ain't even plan for it
I didn't even plan for this trip in case you were wondering.

I just left L.A, barely caught the plane
I left Los Angeles and almost missed my flight.

Fuckin' TSA, swear a nigga ran for it
The TSA made me run for it.

Ain't used to this fame shit
I'm not used to being famous.

This you-all-know-my-name-shit
People recognize me everywhere I go now.

Me, I'm just the same kid
I'm still the same person I was before becoming famous.

That fucked around and made it
I accidentally became successful.

Fucked over my main chick
I cheated on my main girlfriend.

Damn she was the main chick
She was my main girlfriend.

Thinkin' 'bout the game
I'm reflecting on my past actions.

I shouldn't have played, but I played it
I regret my actions.

And now I'm missin' your love
I'm missing the love of my ex-girlfriend.

I'm faded once again, I don’t know where I am
I'm under the influence of drugs/alcohol and not sure of my location.

But I just know I'm driftin' far from you
I feel like I'm growing further apart from my ex-girlfriend.

I'm tryna keep my head strong, but my heart won't
I'm trying to stay strong mentally, but emotionally I'm struggling.

Just let me grow away from you
Please let me move on from our relationship.

Don't you know we're driftin' off, driftin' off?
Our relationship is slowly falling apart.

I know you think that it's my fault we're fallin' off
You blame me for the problems in our relationship.

All this hope and disregard, driftin' off
We're losing hope and ignoring our relationship problems.

I know you think there ain't no fault, we fall apart
You don't believe there is any hope for us to fix our relationship.

I blame it on the distance
I use distance as an excuse for the problems in our relationship.

Why I'm fuckin' with these bitches
Why am I cheating with other women?

These numbers in my phone
I have other women's phone numbers saved on my phone.

A text pops up, she's like, "Who is this?"
Someone I'm involved with texts me and asks who the other woman is.

You probably got a mistress
You might assume I have other secret lovers.

Probably every week it switches
I have different women in my life every week.

Now is this cause for concern?
Should you be worried about this?

And should I be suspicious?
Should I be concerned that you might be seeing other men as well?

I'm overseas trippin', a million miles away
I'm traveling abroad and far away from you.

And she's still in L.A., my mom's out in the Bay
You're still in Los Angeles and my mother is in the Bay Area.

And these overseas minutes add up, that's a lot to pay
I'm spending a lot of money on international phone calls.

I can pay it, yeah I know, but it's the excuse I say
I know I can afford it, but I use it as an excuse to avoid contact with you.

She's been tryna track me down
You've been trying to find me.

I feel like I'm cattin' now
I feel guilty for what I've been doing.

Dodgin' her when she's the one
I'm avoiding you even though you're the one who wants to talk.

I'm out here trippin', actin' wild
I'm out here making reckless decisions.

Start to wonder if I've changed
I'm questioning whether I've become a different person.

I'm like how could that be now?
I'm struggling to understand how I could have changed so much.

Would these bitches be here really
Would these women still be around if I weren't famous?

If I wasn't rappin' now?
If I wasn't a rapper now?

I'm just so conflicted
My feelings and thoughts are contradicting each other.

It's been so long since we've kicked it
It's been a long time since we've hung out.

And I can't lie, I've missed it
I admit that I miss spending time with you.

But somewhere the current shifted
Something changed between us.

And now I'm somewhere else
I'm in a different place emotionally.

Far away, feel like we drifted
We've grown emotionally distant from each other.

Hard to face the facts
It's difficult to accept the reality of our relationship problems.

I'm drinkin' to escape, and then get lifted
I'm drinking and getting high to avoid my emotional pain.

Get swept under a rug, 'till I'm trippin' on a pile
I'm ignoring our problems until they become too overwhelming.

Did it change, somethin' different for a while
Something changed in our relationship for a period of time.

Yeah we grew apart with time
We drifted apart over time.

We ain't kicked it in a while
We haven't spent time together in a while.

But I still think about you now
I still think about you and our relationship.

Without you, see there's differences now
I've noticed significant changes in my life without you.

But shit happens, how could we have known?
Sometimes things happen without warning or prediction.

Nothin' can prepare us
We couldn't have been prepared for these changes in our relationship.

From sleepin' at your parents, now to sold out shows in Paris
We went from staying at your parents' house to performing in sold-out shows in Paris.

To parties at my hotel ashin' blunts up off my terrace
We've been to parties at my hotel where we smoked marijuana on the balcony.

Tell me, how'd we ever come to live this careless?
How did we end up living this reckless lifestyle?

And now I'm missin' your love
I'm still missing your love despite everything that's happened.
