           E              B             C#
I've been lookin' for a driver who is qualified
           F#                   B          C#
So if you think that you're the one step into my ride
       E          B          C#
I'm a fine-tuned supersonic speed machine
        F#      B         C#
With a sunroof top an' a gangsta lean

E          B              C#
So if you feel me let me know, know, know
F#            B                  C#
Come on now what you're waiting for, for, for
E             B          C#
My engine is ready to explode, explode, explode
F#          B               C#
So start me up and watch me go, go, go, go

Chorus:
         E              B         C#
Getcha where you wanna go if you know what I mean
       F#           B              C#
Got a ride that's smoother than a limousine
         E          B               C#
Can you handle the curves? can you run all the lights?
       F#        B               C#
If you can baby boy, then we can go all night
            E       B        C#
Cause it's zero to sixty in three-point-five
      F#          B   C#
Baby you got the keys
                  E             B      C#
Now shut up and drive, drive, drive, drive
              F#            B        C#
Shut up and drive, drive, drive, drive

I've got class like a '57 Cadillac
Got overdrive with a whole lot of boom in the back
You look like you can handle what's under my hood
You keep saying that you will, boy, I wish you would

So if you feel me, let me know, know, know
Come on now, what you waitin' for, for, for
My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode
So start me up and watch me go, go, go, go

Chorus:
Get you where you wanna go, if you know what I mean
Got a ride that's smoother than a limousine
Can you handle the curves? Can you run all the lights?
If you can, baby boy, then we can go all night
'Cause I'm zero to sixty in three point five
Baby, you got the keys
Now shut up and drive (Drive, drive, drive)
Shut up and drive (Drive, drive, drive)

'Cause your Maybach, ain't got what I got
(Get it, get it)
Don't stop, it's a sure shot
And your Ferrari, huh boy, I'm sorry
I ain't even worried, so step inside and ride
(Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride,
ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride,
ride, ride, ride)

So if you feel me, let me know, know, know
Come on now, what you waitin' for, for, for
My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode
So start me up and watch me go, go, go, go

Chorus:
Get you where you wanna go, if you know what I mean
Got a ride that's smoother than a limousine
Can you handle the curves? Can you run all the lights?
If you can, baby boy, then we can go all night
'Cause I'm zero to sixty in three point five
Baby, you got the keys
Now shut up and drive (Drive, drive, drive)
Shut up and drive (Drive, drive, drive)
Shut up and drive (Drive, drive, drive)
Shut up and drive (Drive, drive, drive,
drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive,
drive, drive, drive, drive)
