Wethu - MARINE DRIVE Lyrics

Window down take a second to breathe
I don't have what I want but I got what I need
I got people that I love but we don't even speak
The closest ones to me be so far out of reach
Months going by, my situation still stagnant
Acting like I'm cool on the inside I just panic
Mom lost her job, lease couldn't get renewed
Had to change locations like a flight attendant do
Wings out tryna soar in the sky, landing gear that's clutch I just wanna arrive
I wanna live, you know, more than survive
Running out the clock but I still put in the time
My friends asking how I'm doing, I just tell em I'm good
And overcompensate my happiness to feel understood
Another chapter tryna play by the book
Sidestep, forward then moving back like a rook
Chest pains on board for the L's I took
Less games on accord I'm adoring the push
If I could tally all the chances I took
4 lines getting crossed is the way it would look
I kept faith, finally found my direction
Every tribulation gave me a new perspective
Can't believe that I'm becoming a legend
Bout to blow up, you just gimme a second
Riding thru the moonlight yo
We'll be riding thru the moonlight yo
Riding thru the moonlight yo
We'll be riding thru the moonlight yo
Riding thru the moonlight yo
We'll be riding thru the moonlight yo
Riding thru the moonlight yo
We'll be riding thru the moonlight yo
Girls from high school probably shocked that I rap
They like " Mawethu, with the dreads , tall guy with the gap?"
"He was quiet , he was low key, never thought he's the kind
To step up to a mic and just voice out his mind"
To be honest I was kind of conceited
But if you know me personally you would've known I'm a dreamer
She said she'd never heard me talk till she put on the speaker
I told that will have to settle till the day that I meet her
Gotta list a girls I'm still tryna fuck
Never talked in school, but now im trying my luck
Down to bust a couple nuts to find the one that I love
But I'm not ready for a junior so I stab with the glove
No hard feelings but I don't talk to my ex
But I hit her last year, drunk sent her text
We talked about the past and the way that she left
She's tryna be a better woman so she has my respect
If I went to Jeffrey's Bay and told her that I'm town
Would she link up for some for coffee, or at least show me around
Book a BNB, look at the ocean while we vent
Hit it off like we used to, pick up where we left
My floral print shirt kinda match with you dress
You got Jesus sandals still?
Girl those shoes are a mess
First time we met, you made me breakfast, nearly finished the eggs
I think I miss the way we laughed a little more than the sex
'Cause I thought
Riding thru the moonlight yo
We'll be riding thru the moonlight yo
Riding thru the moonlight yo
We'll be riding thru the moonlight yo
Riding thru the moonlight yo
We'll be riding thru the moonlight yo
Riding thru the moonlight yo
We'll be riding thru the moonlight yo

Window down take a second to breathe
I don't have what I want but I got what I need
I got people that I love but we don't even speak
The closest ones to me be so far out of reach
