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
Coming 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 showing him the way now, this is where he's oonna stay now

Riding on my horse, it's the life for me
Blowing 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
Coming 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 clearing out his mind now

Riding on my horse, it's the life for me
Blowing 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!) Switching lanes like
(Ay!) In the wind like
(Ay!) Pulling 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

Riding on my horse, it's the life for me
Blowing 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
