The lights and the drugs and the girls finally drives me crazy
đ” Kaytranada â Drive Me Crazy ft. Vic Mensa
Iâm here and yâall know theyâve been waitinâ for me
Since I was 15, now Iâm Yella, a hundred miles and runninâ
Easy come and easy go, thatâs why I work âtil midnight
Iâm out of town, shorty very, dirty on the turnpike
My piss clean, I caught a case of happens to the best
The lawyer said donât smoke
Iâm like, âGood lord, buddha keep me blessedâ
Iâm buyinâ Nike stock when I see these checks
Motivated by niggas because itâs bigger than me
I know that, I might go back to my old shit
Bring the fro back, thatâs a throwback, yeah
Watch your mouth, why you tryna talk like you know somethinâ?
My competition is myself, therefore I ainât worried âbout no one
Not a soul, pot of gold
Lookinâ like a stain, niggasâll wet your mug
Leave you behind yourself, youâre playinâ catch up
Boy is that your blood?
Cause I done blew inside my mind since I first wrote a rhyme
Yâall all late, rappers be stuck in the booth, Iâm All State
Theyâre imposters, steak and lobster
Surf my turf, better wear your chopper
Next to Oprah at the opera, okay
If you hadâŠ
If you had everything youâd ever wanted
Right in front of me, whatâs it gonna be?
The lights and the drugs and the girls finally drives me crazy
Drives me crazy
Gotta love it though, they hatinâ homie
I be on Sunset still go back to 68th and Stony
Cooked out my basement
Dropped my tape and got my homiesâ placements
Iâll play the keys in my sleep on the beach, thatâs a dream vacation
Say you ainât heard, Iâll let you lie, just know you digged your grave
No turninâ back once you done found that thatâs the hand you played
Game over, on the drivinâ range in the Range Rover
Halfway sober with my middle finger up, fuck these hoes
Iâm a tiger in the jungle
In the middle of the summer with the wood on me and a fiend for the snow
(White girl?) She a fiend for the blow, Iâm a G, to the code
You know me, I need Keke Palmer off TLC for that T.O.P
Keys to the Jeep and the deed to the boat
Yâall cruisinâ, yâall losinâ
Yeah I make pop music but Iâm still king with the flow
This just the shit Iâve been thinkinâ about
Picture everything you ever want, want, want, want
Right in front of you
The lights and the drugs and the girls finally drives me crazy
Drives me crazy
Producer Kaytranada arrived during the early 2010s with ear-perking remixes and an array of sounds that veered from J Dilla-inspired hip-hop beats to woozy house grooves. Born Louis Kevin Celestin in Haiti, the Montreal-raised artist, a voracious listener, got hooked on DJâing and production during his early teen years. Early on, as Kaytradamus, he issued a series of digital EPs, albums, and remix compilations. Around 2013, he began to operate as Kaytranada with the EP Todo and three-track 10" At All. In 2014, he remixed Disclosureâs âJanuary,â produced âMy Blockâ for personal heroes Mobb Deep, and made his XL label debut that August with âLeave Me Alone,â a collaboration with vocalist and fellow Montreal native Shay Lia. During the next two years, Kaytranadaâs profile steadily rose with additional XL material (âDrive Me Crazy,â featuring Vic Mensa) and outside productions highlighted by âGirlâ (from the Internetâs Grammy-nominated Ego Death), âLite Weightâ (Anderson Paak), âLoveâ (Rome Fortune), and âHoneyâ (Katy B). 99.9%, his proper debut album, was released in 2016 with guest appearances from Phonte, Little Dragon, and a few of his prior collaborators. It won that yearâs Polaris Music Prize.
