[Verse 1] Pickin’ up fares, cruisin’ through town Feelin’ grand, then ma gut makes a sound Too many pints, too much spice Now I’m prayin’ tae God, beggin’ for life [Pre-Chorus] Grip the wheel, clench real tight Tell masel’, "Just one more light" Fare in the back says, "Mate, ye’re pale" If only he knew, I’m ridin’ through hell [Chorus] Tires Run Brownnnnnn Oh naw, it's slippin’ through Sweat drips down, what can I do? Tires Run Brownnnnnn One bad move, it’s a fatal blow Skid marks left—on ma seat and the road Tires Run Brownnnnnn [Verse 2] Turned off the meter, floored it fast Tryin’ tae make it, but I willnae last Customer's yellin’, "Mate, where ye goin’?" If only he knew what’s overflowin’ [Pre-Chorus] Grip the wheel, clench real tight Tell masel’, "Just one more light" Fare in the back says, "Mate, ye’re pale" If only he knew, I’m ridin’ through hell [Chorus] Tires Run Brownnnnnn Oh naw, it's slippin’ through Sweat drips down, what can I do? Tires Run Brownnnnnn One bad move, it’s a fatal blow Skid marks left—on ma seat and the road Tires Run Brownnnnnn [Bridge] Dived oot the cab, left it in park Taxi reeks, a stain on ma heart Swore I’d never let this be But fate had other plans for me Tires Run Brownnnnnn Oh naw, it's slippin’ through Sweat drips down, what can I do? Tires Run Brownnnnnn One bad move, it’s a fatal blow Skid marks left—on ma seat and the road Tires Run Brownnnnnn
