[Hook x2]
Drivin` all night through the rain
Tryin` to escape the pain
I can`t get away
With the way I drive will I make it home alive?
How will I survive?
Cereal killer, slasher, Rip the Jacker
Been on America`s Most and still can`t be captured
Think about it, how am I supposed to feel?
If you ain`t have a record deal, how would you feel?
In a world where it seems like you`re all alone
Like my name didn`t help the rap market grow
Like I`m hardly gold, like I ain`t got a remarkable flow
When I deserved to die old and broke
I`d rather have an overdose doin` coke or dope or both
Gettin` bathed in a bathhouse by Dorothy Dandrich
Hailey Berry and Jennifer Lo, bending over for soap
What a way to go
A friend of mine told me that I know a lot of nothing
I looked him in the eyes and said at least I know something
I know I`ve been driving all night through the rain
And I`m lookin` for a sunny day
I wanna run away
[Hook x2]
I be the first one to tell you I`m an ill emcee
But I`m a human being and if you prick me, I bleed
I might bleed internally, but it`s still hurting me
Can-i-bus is not what he deserves to be
I just wanna rhyme, I don`t wanna beef wit you
But if you bite me, I`ma put my teeth in you
I want the whole world to say, Canibus, I believe in you
The same way, my man, Ricky Lee would do
Don`t sterotype us, we freedom fighters
We drive all night through the rain wit` no wippers
I paid that price a couple of times
And when I`m on the mic, I spit double the rhymes
I ain`t scared of the competition
But I want you to listen to me even when I`m not rippin`
I hope you never have to feel my pain
I hope you never have to drive all night through the rain
[Hook x2]
Will somebody please tell me, what does it take?
I been on promotional tours, from state-to-state
I`ve done a 100 Bars on mixtape
People recognize the face, but the sales don`t equate
I guess I`ll plead guilty if
Rippin` a rhyme is a crime
Cause I`ma get mine or die tryin`
I`m verbally inclined to shine
I spin like a turnbine and blow the rain clouds out the sky
I drive through the rain til the roads get dry
Bonafide Gladiator that was born to ride
You could never put a price on my pride
If I have to, I`ll swim against the tide til my arms get tired
But I won`t disappear and I will not be quiet
Or get pushed to the side, I will not be denied
Keep my eyes and ignore the pain
No matter how long I gotta drive through the rain
With the way I drive, will I make it home alive?
