Driftin’ Lyrics

[Verse 1: Duddy B]
Well I've been driftin' liftin' my mind with these spliffs and
Realizing just what I'm missin'
There's so much more then just regrets
'Cause if you can't love yourself, how can you love the next?
Yo, well me and Dirty, we been kickin' it since old school
We had this dream to rock, and we'd be so cool
And I remember just chillin' out in my back yard
Sipping on some 40s, writing songs, laughing so hard
It always seemed like such a dream to me
It always seemed like it was so far from reality
But deep inside I always knew that this would be my path
And if I ever got a chance yo, I would make it last
But I've been

[Chorus: Duddy B & Dirty J + (Dirty J)]
Driftin' so long, from myself and from the pain
Driftin' so long, I think I found better way
(I found a better way and now I strive for better days)

[Post-Chorus: Duddy B]
I feel like I've been changing
And I don't like just what I see
I feel like I'm the victim
And my own worst enemy
[Verse 2: Dirty J]
Well I've been driftin', missin'
The times we didn't listen
To no one but ourselves because we knew we're on a mission
No one ever thought it'd happen
For two of the boys to get paid for rapping
I got people looking after me, the way I go, the path I lead
Some say it's not a job but we practice like an athlete
I'm constantly driftin' and I've finally found what I need
It's passing me in forms of speech every time I pass the beach

[Chorus: Duddy B & Dirty J + (Dirty J)]
Driftin' so long, from myself and from the pain
Driftin' so long, I think I found better way
(I found a better way and now I strive for better days)

[Bridge: Duddy B + Dirty J]
Well, I lost my path but I found my way
We can all learn from our own mistakes
Sometimes I'm wrong, but I learn that way
But we won't ever know until we stop

[Chorus: Duddy B & Dirty J + (Dirty J)]
Driftin' so long, from myself and from the pain
Driftin' so long, I think I found better way
[Outro]
I've been driftin'
I've been driftin'
I'vebeen driftin'
I've been away
