letra de driving tired - dna tru lyricist

[intro]
man, check this out, man
yeah, i’ma tell you all about a throwed story
(listen to your boy) happened way back in the day
check it out, uh

[verse]
it all started one day back when i was headed home
i turned on the radio but nothing was on
there was no frequency for the station i’m frequently on
i couldn’t get a single signal, let alone a single song
i tried to sit it out, but the ride was just too long
i had the number to the station, it was stored in my life
so i flipped it open and noticed there wasn’t a tone
no reception? now i’m guessing something’s seriously wrong
i’ve been cruising all night long ten hours straight
now i’m exhausted but i’m driving so i gotta stay awake
i gotta focus so i don’t speed or drive too slow
stay in-between the lines and peep the road signs as i go
i know i’m not high but pretty sure my mind’s feeling blowed
plus i haven’t seen a solitary sign on this road
i’m feeling dozed, gazing out my window at the dotted lines
watching the rhythmic pattern as they’re passing me by
but i should’ve known better than to stare at the street
just like a nursery rhyme or counting sheep, it put me to sleep
it was discreet and happened so fast, i had no time to think
think of it like this: i made it half-way through a blink
now i’m swerving dead-on into the head-on lane
now it’s all in god’s hands because i tried to sustain
that’s when a blast of thunder struck and woke me up with a bang
by the grace of god, guess what? it had started to rain
i looked up and saw a red speeding truck in my lane
aiming directly at me about to leave me dead, crippled, and maimed
i quickly remain calm and pulled away from my death
fast but slow enough, i know enough not to overcorrect
i’m overprotected by angels i dearly respect
always letting me make it when they could break me at any sec’
so i take a sec’ to catch my breath and calm myself down
slow my car down, rub my eyes, and take a look around
i was shocked when i realized i had drifted 60 yards
i could’ve been dead like if i popped 60 bars
or locked up instead, staring out of 60 bars
all dependant on the other people in the other car
if i woulda k!lled somebody, i wouldn’t make it far
manslaughter, i got life right in 60 million bars
the chances that i made it this far are 60 to 1
that’s like 5 bullets loaded in a 6-chamber gun
playing russian roulette with my life, stupid and dumb
but i wasn’t thinking that bright back when i was young
i started thinking maybe i should stop my car and pull it over
little did i know that came from god right over my shoulder
but the devil was present and had a plan that was colder
he said “you haven’t drank a drop, you’re 100% sober
i know you can make it, dna, you’re a soldier”
that’s when i paused and thought it over, hmm
yeah i’m a soldier, i can do this, no problem at all
but now it’s raining and i know all of my tires are bald
“aw come on, your home’s only ten minutes away
if you go to sleep now, you waste away half the day”
now back in the day, i wish i woulda been thinking right
it was either waste away the day, or my whole life
strong-minded, i convinced myself that i can make it home
but i only convinced myself of a choice that was wrong
so i pressed down on the pedal and started to gain speed
the rain had picked up, then it was harder to see
i hardly believe that i even preceded to leave
i could cut my grieves, still pull it over and go to sleep
but the thought of that was interrupted by the thought of some meat
i was starving, i hadn’t eaten a thing since 3
i wanted to eat, i started thinking of denny’s
if i wanted that, i’d have to get off the bridge at i20
then from there, it was about ten minutes away
and i20 was half-a-mile up the road anyway
then i remembered, i only had pennies to pay
ah forget it, i’m just too tired today
anyway, it’s only ten minutes until i reached the house
i could heat up a tv dinner and lay on the couch
the sound of the soothing rain and the thought of the couch
blended together, and i never thought again i’d pass out
but i did, and i was only a kid
17 years old with my whole life to live
now i’m about to be left inching damaged to dead
and the interstate bridge is just a few feet ahead
i could’ve made it, but i was blinded by my desires
i shoulda had never started driving when i was tired
shoulda listened to my conscience but my confidence was higher
the next thing i heard was the sound of my screeching tires
before i had a chance to open up my eyelids
i had just planed through the rain over the i20 bridge
i came down hood-first and crashed into the street
all i heard was breaking glass and then i felt massive heat
twisted metal from the car spraying left gashes in me
and my dashboard was smashed down, entrapping my feet
i was half-unconscious and all i felt was pain
i was trapped in a cage of gas, glass, blood, and rain
the seatbelt left me remaining, hanging upside-down
i saw bright lights and heard a life-threatening sound
i looked around and saw an 18 wheeler trying to swerve
but it was sliding dead at me, that’s when i passed out with a blur
and heard “sir? sir? wake up, i’m an officer
i was wondering why your car was parked off by the curb
sir, are you alright? are you having car trouble, is there anyway i can help?
i was covered in sweat, i took a sec’ to gather myself, uh
“no, mr. officer, i had to pull over
because i was too tired to drive, and i promise i’m sober”
man, i gotta be tripping, i was having a vision
all along i was pulled over and i made the right decision
the officer said “listen, you have a lot of wisdom
you made the right decision when somebody else didn’t
see, just up the road at the i20 bridge
this kid fell asleep, and over the bridge he slid
if only he was smarter and had done what you did
thank god you’re not dumb, ’cause it could’ve been you, kid”
that’s when he walked away and left me in sheer fear
i couldn’t believe my ears, i couldn’t even think clear
“wait a minute, mr. officer, come back! listen here!”
but when i looked back, no one was there, he had disappeared
oh my dear, that’s when it came to clear, the story untangled
god was looking out for me, he had sent me an angel
the angel had no intentions of leaving me fandangled
he just came to let me know i did right by every angle
