[Intro]
Engine hum
Dashboard glow
Static in my head
Now I’m in that mode (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Balaclava on, eyes low
City look small from the window
Sideways drift on a side road
Heart ice cold, money micro
Lean in the seat, I’m reclined
Teeth gold-tint when I smile
Whole squad ghosts in the night
Disappear quick, no rewind
Hand on the wheel, one hand on a scar
Talking to myself, I been at war
I don’t really care who they think we are
Only thing I trust is the rush in my core (yeah)
[Chorus]
Midnight slide, I don’t hit no brakes
Two more sips, then I levitate
Can’t feel fear when the lights all fade
I just ride, I just ride this wave
Midnight slide, tryna wash my sins
Smoke in my lungs, dark in my grin
If I don’t change, I know how this ends
But I still ride, I still ride, I still ride again (ayy)
[Verse 2]
Eyes red-ringed, but I’m wide awake
Heard they want beef, that’s a tired plate
I been tryna chill, they been tryna hate
I been counting up just to numb the pain
Mama on the line like “boy, you blessed”
I’m like “yeah, yeah” with a weight on my chest
Demons in the rearview tap on the glass
I don’t ever stop, I just press that gas (skrrt)
Pink dust on the floor mat
Heart beat in my throat, can’t ignore that
If I crash out, there’s no fallback
So I pray a lil’ prayer, then I floor that
[Chorus]
Midnight slide, I don’t hit no brakes
Two more sips, then I levitate
Can’t feel fear when the lights all fade
I just ride, I just ride this wave
Midnight slide, tryna wash my sins
Smoke in my lungs, dark in my grin
If I don’t change, I know how this ends
But I still ride, I still ride, I still ride again (yeah)
[Bridge]
Who gon’ save me from my ways? (who?)
I keep dancing with my fate
If the reaper call my name
Tell him “wait, I’m runnin’ late” (hah)
[Chorus]
Midnight slide, I don’t hit no brakes
Two more sips, then I levitate
Can’t feel fear when the lights all fade
I just ride, I just ride this wave
Midnight slide, tryna wash my sins
Smoke in my lungs, dark in my grin
If I don’t change, I know how this ends
But I still ride, I still ride, I still ride again (midnight)
