We Ride

(álbum: Redemption - 2006)

We ride, we ride
Come and get in my vehicle
We ride, we ride
Ride life and see it through
We work all day and we grind all night
It's been hard for us
Hard for...hard for...hard
We came from the bottom, grinding
And all we got is this
We fought to the bitter end
Still all we got is this
We work all day and we grind all night
It's been hard for us
Hard for...hard for...hard

I approach the edge of the Earth, looking over the ravine
What I wonder if it's offered
Write a story like a book that solved it, ending altered
How many of us will we boost?
We fall at the final stage
Got a chapter dedicated to you and your cause, got to find your page
Explosive, hey?
This success is riches, fame we can't escape from gaining
Stretching, straining
Is this for Joseph off the plate?
Is this entertainment, or it is?
Is this the monster you're not sure that remains?
My stains hook the ceilings, dealings
False are staking their claims
We're taking the game
Own it 'til you assume at the source
Loom to be consumed like black folks and their cars
The span of land we reach across
Man, it's just a brand, a band to pay the way
To practice what we preach, it costs
Get to know us on the ground we both share
Pull me down, and please don't go there
If you're crew, then let's get it cracking
Now can I get a real loud "Oh yeah"?
Want a better, better self-side fast
Let us on, better fly right past
Reading out the rear-view is a blast
Can't hear you that's some nasty gas

We ride, we ride
Come and get in my vehicle
We ride, we ride
Ride life and see it through
We work all day and we grind all night
It's been hard for us
Hard for...hard for...hard
We came from the bottom, grinding
And all we got is this
We fought to the bitter end
Still all we got is this
We work all day and we grind all night
It's been hard for us
Hard for...hard for...hard

My vocabulary's necessary, embarrassing adversaries
Ordinary never we're forever on the contrary
Visionaries raising every standard, never secondary
Living legendary with this message we've been blessed to carry
We bypass craters and blast past haters
And destined to outlast the timeline as one of hip-hop's greatest, eternally speaking
Seeking the Lord's guidance for reaching the lost
Teachers of all, speaking what was written, reaping the costs of life, and that in abundance
In every moment murdered and plundered, questioned and wondered
Reason we even breathing
Cleaving and never leaving
Receiving, tasted and seeing
Wasted and came believing
Addicted, gigging and phening
Pawning my past ways to dawn on my last days
Commissioned and freed slaved
Laughing at open graves
With night-vision precision though the black tint and fallacies
Finishing first now don't you wanna ride with me?

We ride, we ride
Come and get in my vehicle
We ride, we ride
Ride life and see it through
We work all day and we grind all night
It's been hard for us
Hard for...hard for...hard
We came from the bottom, grinding
And all we got is this
We fought to the bitter end
Still all we got is this
We work all day and we grind all night
It's been hard for us
Hard for...hard for...hard

Ride, we ride
Come and get in my vehicle
We ride, we ride
Ride life and see it through
We work all day and we grind all night
It's been hard for us
Hard for...hard for...hard
We came from the bottom, grinding
And all we got is this
We fought to the bitter end
Still all we got is this
We work all day and we grind all night
It's been hard for us
Hard for...hard for...hard
