lyrics

-- Lyrics --

I remember 17
When I was driving home
I realized to be a man
Is to be alone

Drive
That’s when I learned to drive

Snow was falling all around the car
Maybe freedom is when people don’t know where you are

Drive
That’s when I learned to drive

So I drove
Winding roads, top of Poplar Hill
Maybe power is
When they don’t know who got ‘em
(Killed)

Drive
That’s when I learned to drive

I had a dream that I climbed down
From this so-called high ground
They were still firing live rounds
But everything was quiet

Then I awoke on the chapel floor
Wiped my tears
And grabbed my rifle by the chapel door
And walked back on the street

The feeling is fleeting
I try to keep
The dream is sweet
But violence doesn’t sleep
So we
(Drive)

Clever men and our violence

Clever men and our violence

Went to college at UMD-College Park and Oddisee and the rest of the MMG had a hold on those of us looking for great music. Nostalgia and the beats still hold up. Salaam. ericburkley
