The Drift Lyrics by Hakim (Rapper)

Young Drifter II

2018

Hook: (Mesonjixx)
Your drifting and leaning not standing in the light, your caught up and slouching and now you’ve got to fight
Stay strong young believe in that there’s a brighter side, come now, it’s your time now

Verse 1: (HAKIM)
I know a kid drifting, on a mission, main problem he can't find himself, I know this one very well, I know this one hard to tell, he's a artist and he got a dream, he sees himself rock shows over seas, he say a nine to five just ain't for me, he got a new job everyday of the week, his life is a mess don't know where he should be, got his heartbroke now he stray from the dream, he try to find comfort between their thighs but they ain't her eyes, and she's seeing guys, the tears in your eyes but you hold them back but lately they fall cuz you losing tracks, you put it on tracks, in hope for feedback, but ain't no feedback, you want to move back, and regain the things you had and find out it don't feel the same cuz life done moved left, damn, is there anybody left, did I deserve this, damn where the family at, do I got a purpose, he's so everywhere but he's never there scared of falling short is his greatest fear...

Hook: (Mesonjixx)
Your drifting and leaning not standing in the light, your caught up and slouching and now you’ve got to fight
Stay strong young believe in that there’s a brighter side, come now, it’s your time now

Verse 2: (HAKIM)
I know this girl on a Drift, she just want to find love, a few dudes did her dirty, almost got knocked up, keep the rape on the low, keep your pain on the hush, but you got a new one, even though he locked up, you went and got his name tatted, you even smuggled in drugs, ain't no turning back now, now you gotta deep cut, when it rains it pours, you even closed doors, parents in the blind, they can't help with the war, he married with a kid, but you don't pay that mind, you know the stakes at risk, but you'll soon pay the fine, the life of young reckless never gets accepted on this road, and when you finally reach the end your greeted with a heavy toll...

Hook: (Mesonjixx)
Your drifting and leaning not standing in the light, your caught up and slouching and now you’ve got to fight
Stay strong young believe in that there’s a brighter side, come now, it’s your time now

Verse 3: (HAKIM)
I know a kid drifting, on a mission, play it smart he slip up yet, in the dark got his arm stretched for the light switch and he light skin heard he writing for a dream that's enticing got him smiling, boy he falling for the cousin of death, watch wear taking your step, I know the image will blemish when you finish, might as well go finish, you ain't quitting that ain't in your blood, I know his heart cold but sometime he needs hugs, yeah he felt the hate but yet he shows love, got the hardest drive he don't go to clubs, and work with pops he do it for the dub, and he used to hoop yeah he was catching dunks, cuts and bruises bottled up, followers he gettting up, he couldn't tell you about no luck, back to this drift that he on, tryna make change with his gift on a song, every night in pray that he getting on, and he writing praying that this one, yeah he heard the rumors more money more problems, but he still chase the dollars, you can't blame him the ones that's famous seemed to be skipping college, all he want is the lavish life, he just wants set him finally right, he just want nice car with a scary price, put the ice on the finger of wife who was there when the engine light on in the whip was in sight, and he teach that you reach for the stars cuz the fall much better when land on the clouds of the loud that you put in sky, he just want to make a change for the kids every night when his eyes blank stare in abyss in his mind, he feel like he race against time, he hate that his race is behind, he feel like he walk with the blind, should he go straight?
Make a left, or the right, should he risk it all for the dream with a mic that he speak to the deaf in hopes to enlight, I know they say drive slow, I know they say smell the roses, I know they say count your blessings, I know it all seems confusing, and it's the loneliest road, many of them lose it, feel that drift when it's cold, cause it's too late when it hits you...
Yeah, cause it's too late when it hits you
