Everybody's Hustling/Kindred The Family Soul

The ten sessions - Baby let me say your name

DRIVE

[Intro – loose, sleepy, free-time mumble]
Outside there's that stuff.
The very, real, real, stuff.
There’s always way too much.
Or not enough.
But it all right.
Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yawn….
[Verse 1 – mid-tempo, close-mic, half-spoken]
 You’re nothin’ ‘cept your drive.
 Not really any smarts at all.
 ‘Cept the smarts that serve you to drive.
 It’s all right then.
 Inside right there.
 Oh
[Pre-Chorus 1 – pulse picking up, slightly anxious]
 I see the world from down there.
 Single focused on too many drives
 Can’t tell which ones are stupid, stupid.
 I gamble fate away for free.
[Chorus – driving, mantra-like, hook forward]
 Drive makes you.
 Drive sends me.
 Drive got she.
 Drive got him.
 You make me.
 She sends you.
 All outward.
 But not him.
But not him
[Verse 2 – same groove, more insistent, slightly tighter]
 Inside right there I feel the where’s it at.
 Where I feel I ought to be.
 Right beside the place I'm right beside.
 How much more plane I gotta be?
[Pre-Chorus 2 – wake-up lift, drums open up, urgent]
 Wake up, get up, stand up, stand up.
 Look all around you down and up.
 Is the place as you thought it should be.
 Or something else that could be.
 If you got a second life to try.
[Chorus – driving, bigger and brighter than first time]
 Drive makes you.
 Drive sends me.
 Drive got she.
 Drive got him.
 You make me.
 She sends you.
 All outward.
 But not him.
[Bridge – half-time, quiet and confessional]
 Look, I know what’s the score.
 It’s pretty low this time.
 But you’ll learn from my fuck ups.
 And better me next round.
[Pre-Bridge / Refrain – chant-like, tension rising, call-and-response]
 Believe me I told you, and told you, and told you.
 Now look right there forward.
 And tell me what do you see.
 It’s just like I told you, and told you, and told you.
 I’ve played this level before.
 And then the next one too.
[Breakdown Chorus – stripped back, almost whispered, then building]
 Drive makes you.
 Drive sends me.
 Drive got she.
 Drive got him.
 You make me.
 She sends you.
 All outward.
 But not him.
But not him
[Outro – slowing, drowsy fade-out shrug]
 Or not enough.
 But it all right.
 Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yawn…
