Lyrics for Backseat Banton
(Yo) yup (yup) Whoo I'm a backseat lover, I want to drive In the back of a cutlass, lived a whole 'nother life Never ran from no other, they were dyin' inside Live a day in another's might've lost my life And now I'm starin' down the edge again Future's got a sketchy grin Should I grab the wheel and spin? Look at me now Whoo-whoo I don't need no other (no other), I can put that on mine (on mine) SLS 'til the blood go (ay), I don't need not one dime Never ran from no other 'cause I had whisky inside Live a day like my brothers, they'd have took your life And now I'm sleepin' standin' up again In the brightest lights, time is pullin' up on all my sins How much can I buy? So now I'm starin' down the edge again Future's got a sketchy grin Should I grab the wheel and spin? Bein' scared has made me bigger now Bigger than I was The darkest side of wakin' up is seein' who I've become Grace is still a savior Every moment that it comes I'm reminded of a hopeful me and how fast that I could run I know you want me to leave, but I need you right now When there's nothin' to see, but I just need to find out You and I got some reasons that we could leave right now I know there's none left for me, but I just need to find out The future's comin' for me and there's no breakin' free Time's the winner when fear's got you nailed to a tree The only way up for me is to break down
