Ride On |
Little boy, raised in the ghetto, had a mind and a passion for game |
Gifted gab, man, could he talk it, he could sell umbrellas to rain |
Combined with the 'bility to throw them hands, man, what a wonderful thing |
They talked about him on the west side, they heard about on the south side |
Comin' up, no father figure made it up, pressed his way on his own |
Bad child, mama can’t contain him always on the wrong side of the law |
Clinked up, linked up with a code of conduct, never known before |
Somebody’s showin' him the way now, this is where he’s oonna stay now |
Ridin' on my horse, it’s the life for me |
Blowin' with the wind, it’s the only time I’m free |
Me and my brothers, the ones I call family |
We ride on, we ride on |
Ride on, soldier, earn yo' keep |
Off the porch of these one percenters, hustlin is how we eat |
You got to peep these streets for all it’s rewards and riches |
But remember the code, young hustler, snitches get stitches |
Rock bottom, tied up by the crime, baby girl barely knows his name |
Man up, can’t blame the system, when you know that it’s part of the game |
You got to use all your gifts you’ve been given at the end of the day |
This is the wisdom of the old man, these are the lessons that they told him |
Comin' home made the decision, to never come back again |
Hard times, every day struggle, but he stay determined to win |
The only way he stayed up was the times he could stay in the wind |
Gotta leave it all behind, so he’s clearin' out his mind now |
Ridin' on my horse, it’s the life for me |
Blowin' with the wind, it’s the only time I’m free |
Me and my brothers, the ones I call family |
We ride on, we ride on |
(Ay!) We on the road like |
(Ay!) Switchin' lanes like |
(Ay!) In the wind like |
(Ay!) Pullin' up like |
(Ay!) Turn up like |
(Ay!) Red cup like |
(Ay!) Zoom with it like |
(Ay!) |
Now the story’s been told, this game is so damn cold |
Lace yo' boots stack ten toes |
Keep yo' face card good, stay on yo' grind |
Ride 'til the wheels fall off |
Ridin' on my horse, it’s the life for me |
Blowin' with the wind, it’s the only time I’m free |
Me and my brothers, the ones I call family |
We ride on, we ride on |
