Drive the Bus

from The Bandwagon: Director's Cut by SoSoon

about

"Drive the bus represents the culmination of everything relevant that has resulted in the beginning of this Bandwagon journey. I wanted this song to be a celebration, as well as a warning, but most importantly a coming out party."

lyrics

Vs 1: Introducing, a one man institution,
the names SoSoon don't introduce him,
The name in itself is an introduction,
cause this is the sound of something out of nothing.

Any sleuth could deduce,
that Imma get loose on this percussion,
this production, is fit to bump in,
a vehicle trunk or a business function.

You used to be the shit now get accustomed
to the lyrics I spit aint shit to fuck with,
take chris(tal) to the head call em liquid lunches,
I am not an alcoholic just a liquor glutton.

Many talk of takeover trust it is coming,
from the pyramid all the way to Sputnik,
the A to the junction, the J to Sutphin,
evacuate the station let's take this bus trip.

Ride to hillside, what are they discussing,
what this whole Soon movements becoming,
What this whole Soon movements becoming,
allow me this trip without interruption.

Chs: That number one spot was meant for us,
how I know cause god we trust,
and god told me we fly as fuck,
so bus driver please drive that bus

(driver) drive the bus
(driver) drive the bus
(driver) drive the bus
(driver) drive the bus.

Vs 2: As the wheels on the bus go round,
moving through towns, like greyhound
I move through crowds, like planes move through clouds,
check my profile full of frequent flyer miles.

Like Davis, style is contagious,
Flow like the Nile, a homemade style,
sounds of the beat form vows with the pages,
loud is the base breaks ground like Vegas.

Bound to win the triple-crown put a wager down on the races,
call it a investment in greatness,
so fresh-the product has no expiration,
the sound is tangible, you can drown when the break hits.

I do this for all the brown faces,
a pro black flow that transcends races,
racist clowns wanna hold back greatness
I transform on em y'all call it a facelift.

Chs:

Vs 3: 21 gun salute and 3 cheers,
hip hip hooray my ziggins cause we here,
I damn near, cried blood and bled tears,
cause I've been putting work into this for ten years.

So now’s a better time than ever to get money,
cause time flies fast inside of your mid 20's,
which means since my teens I been hungry,
within this small frame of a man is a big tummmmmmmy.

-Check my lyrical symphony,
these rappers is trash like Sanford you big dummies-,
this shit is funny at the same time its not though,
can't understand How'd you get what you got yo.

But I was never, raised to be a hater,
we'll talk when I get to the top, I'll see you later,
until then, enjoy it while it last
I'll pour a little liquor out the window when I pass.
