This Is Why We Ride |
People always wanna know the reason for what they consider senseless violence |
in the hood. |
I’ma break it down for you. |
This is why we ride. |
And this is why we ride |
And this is why we ride |
I gotta say this clear, I gotta say this loud |
I should’ve been dead, don’t know how I’m here now |
I should’ve been dead, damn it forty years ago |
How the fuck did I survive? |
Something that I’ll never know |
I played the crack game, gang bang, guns |
Motherfuckers told me I’d never see twenty one |
I come from LA, deep in the heart of the hood |
Every night the bullets fly, this shit ain’t Hollywood |
Could be your best friend, mother or brother dead |
Cops can’t do shit, these streets are blood red |
So we leave the block and we load the guns |
And we want revenge, until revenge comes |
And this is why we ride |
And this is why we ride |
I made it out the hood, I got a great life |
But them bullets fly every motherfucking night |
Another kid dies every motherfucking night |
Another mother cries every motherfucking night |
Ghettoes of deep crack, made to never escape |
A place to store the poor, made to never escape |
They’re all over the world, people go to die |
Murders go unsolved, I understand why |
They remove hope and then we sell dope |
Pain in poverty has us at each other’s throat |
Families are broken and so we gangbang |
A bit form of unity but most laws are never seen |
And this is how we die |
And this is why we ride |
Oh man, coming up and surviving in the ghetto, the smallest argument goes from |
little drama to big drama. |
Next thing you know, somebody’s dead. |
I don’t think you can understand if you’ve never been in the streets and held |
your best friend in your arms, your child in your arms and watch them breathe |
their last breath because somebody shot them dead in the streets. |
You ain’t thinking about calling the police. |
You want revenge. |
And you want it |
now. |
I gotta be honest with you. |
If somebody were to kill me, shoot me right |
now. |
My last words wouldn’t be peace. |
It’d be «Get those motherfuckers!». |
(And this is why we ride). |
This song is dedicated to all of you who have lost |
somebody to street violence. |
And this is why we ride |
And this is how we die |
