[Intro: Don Toliver & Malcolm Todd]
(I love)
(I’ve been tryin’, tryin’, tryin’, tryin’)
(I’ve been cryin’, cryin’, cry—)
On the highway and I’m thinkin’ that I love her
On the highway and I’m thinkin’ there ain’t no rubber
On the highway with my significant lover (I love)
(I’ve been tryin’, tryin’, tryin’, tryin’)
High octane, more fuel for your consumption, nigga
More ‘tane for the vein, nigga (I’ve been cryin’, cryin’, cry—)
It’s lit, yeah
[Chorus: Don Toliver]
On the highway and I’m thinkin’ that I love her
On the highway and I’m thinkin’ there ain’t no rubber
On the highway with my significant lover (It go)
(It go, it go)
You been runnin’ the summer, you got a brand-new Hummer
We laugh all day like Dumber and Dumber
I’m ’bout to shoot my shot, she lovin’ my jumper
My favorite outfit is her see-through romper
[Verse: Don Toliver & Malcolm Todd]
Don’t worry, I got you, I promise I won’t hurt her
She talk like a snappin’ turtle, she squirt like that shit fertile
Got drink in my cup, on Kirko, she move that ass in circles
Not sippin’ on green, it’s purple, we said that shit never hurt, though
I just hope you down for me (I’ve been tryin’, tryin’)
‘Cause this shit what it supposed to be (I love)
[Chorus: Don Toliver & Malcolm Todd]
On the highway and I’m thinkin’ that I love her
On the highway and I’m thinkin’ there ain’t no rubber
On the highway with my significant lover (It go)
(It go, it go)
You been runnin’ the summer, you got a brand-new Hummer
We laugh all day like Dumber and Dumber
I’m ’bout to shoot my shot, she lovin’ my jumper
My favorite outfit is her see-through romper (I love)
[Outro]
I’ve been tryin’, tryin’, tryin’, tryin’
I’ve been cryin’, cryin’, cry—

What Does E85 by Don Toliver Mean?
The title E85 refers to a high-octane ethanol fuel blend commonly used in performance vehicles. Don Toliver uses this as a metaphor throughout the song to represent intensity, passion, and living life at full speed with his significant lover. The repeated line “On the highway and I’m thinkin’ that I love her”captures a moment of emotional clarity while driving — a feeling of freedom mixed with deep romantic attachment.
The phrase “High octane, more fuel for your consumption” ties the car and fuel imagery directly to the relationship, suggesting the connection between him and his lover is powerful, fast, and addictive. The mention of a “significant lover” throughout the song highlights that this is not a casual fling but a meaningful bond.
Lines like “I just hope you down for me, ’cause this shit what it supposed to be” show vulnerability beneath the confident exterior, as Toliver expresses hope that the relationship is as real and lasting as it feels in the moment.
