driving scenes - kamauu lyrics
[verse 1: kamauu]
i watched queen & slim, i only liked the driving scenes
i don’t like watching black folks slaughtered, it triggers trauma
even in black movies, still can’t survive the scenes
i only liked the driving scenes
where i’m from, people don’t survive the scenes, they never leave
ain’t no adventure movies, all drama and comedy, and horror eventually
caged birds don’t sing, they scream
like banshees tangled in branches
when what you thought was home starts taking advantage
i only liked the driving scenes
when i was young, traveling was my father’s dream
we stargazed, wanderl*sted horizons
from a different vantage
what if we could vanish in vibrancies privately
on a different canvas, what is black?
what if we could abandon the fallacies of following
those we thought were empowering all the while were devouring
what of all the agony of stagnancy, the malady?
would it pacify these things? (things)
would it patch a lot seams? (seams)
would it petrify these dreams (dreams)
and make them stone so they never die and we forever
[chorus: kamauu]
drive
seems like, like we ain’t never gon’ arrive
seems like, like we just in it for the ride
seems like, like we been ready for a while
where do we go from here?
everything flows from here
[verse 2: kamauu]
my grandmother took my father for drives just for the drive
my father wrote stories and wrote us in as explorers
at the age of twenty*nine
i travelled the world more times than most of mine
i survived the scenes
i come from hope makers and mold breakers and old faithfuls
we all sacred, my whole table, we all favored
my ancestors, they dance festive for my investments
they vicariously enjoy my world tours
we tore holes in supposed roles and disposed
rode out of a closed fist with fists closed
i ride ’til rims fold with thin soles
ten toes, all my tribe down for the
[chorus: kamauu]
drive
seems like, like we ain’t never gon’ arrive
seems like, like we just in it for the ride
seems like, like we been ready for a while
where do we go from here?
everything flows from here
[bridge: cocoa sarai & kamauu]
where do we go from (drive, ooh, ooh)
oh, can we drive? oh (drive, ooh, ooh)
got a long way to go (drive, ooh, ooh)
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh (drive, ooh, ooh)
[outro: kamauu]
i’m just reversing some transatlantic curses
i’m just regurgitating what ain’t of service
i’m just refurbishing a sense of urgency
i’m just repurposing my purpose
when i date these days, i think about the emergence
of the updated version, of my person
i just wanna be a superhero like my dad
i just want our future brighter than out past
(drive, ooh, ooh)
(i’m ready for the drive, ooh, ooh)
(i’m ready for the drive, ooh, ooh)
(i’m ready for the drive, ooh, ooh)
