Ride
Big Herk/Ingrid Smalls/Juan/Royce da 5'9" Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, I'm a every day walk my dogs
Yeah, yeah, I'm always out here handling my business

Like a motherfucking gangsta gun toaster, slash prankster
I'm a tough guy, always ready for action and playing tricks

In the 7 on Dalvins with Cash, we be mashing
Cruising around in my car with my crew, causing a stir

To the club seeing who gon' hurl who the fastest
Heading to the club and challenging each other to see who can party harder

Bitches sipping bubbly and drinking thug passion
Women enjoying fancy drinks and embracing the thug lifestyle

Niggas get them lil' pistols shoved in they asses
Some guys hide their small guns in their rear end

This hundred-and-one round drum take up half the trunk so punk, we gon' tear up this club faster
My large drum magazine takes up a lot of space in the car trunk, so we're planning on causing havoc at the club quickly

Detroit niggas only get along with who belong
People from Detroit only associate with those they consider true locals

And if you get on then we can use you
If you gain status or become useful to us, we might accept you

From 7 and Woodward to 7 and Telly, the West side
From one location on the West side of Detroit to another

Where niggas with 'Cardis, weapons in Pelle's yes ma
Where individuals wearing Cardis clothing and carrying firearms in Pelle Pelle jackets can be found

From 7 and Woodward to 7 and Kelly the East side
From one location on the East side of Detroit to another

It's murder from Kelly and further
Violent crimes occur starting from Kelly Street and extending outward

East where peace signs and street signs is unheard of
In the East, peaceful gestures and proper street signage are uncommon

You can either collide with me or ride with me
You can either oppose me or join me in my endeavors

In the D every day is violent, it's never silent
In Detroit, there is constant violence and never any peace and quiet

All you hear is cop sirens and shots firing
The only sounds you hear are police sirens and gunshots

Being broke got tiring so how I'm supposed to eat?
Being poor became exhausting, so how am I supposed to survive?

I chose the street, fuck a job, they not hiring
I decided to turn to the streets since I couldn't find employment

Cats be tripping, 'gnac we sipping
People be acting crazy while we casually drink cognac

Crack be flipping, you will never catch me slipping
Dealing crack cocaine without any mistakes or slips

Watch out or get stuck for your jacket
Be careful, or someone might rob you for your jacket

AIDS spreading, strap up 'fore you catch it
There is a risk of contracting AIDS, so protect yourself before it happens

A dude chopped his wife up with a hatchet (damn)
A man brutally murdered his wife using a hatchet

You might live to see eighteen
You might not survive to see your eighteenth birthday

She got raped, he gagged her mouth, so she can't scream
A woman was sexually assaulted, and her mouth was gagged to prevent her from screaming

It's the murder Mitten, crime is rising
Michigan is notorious for high crime rates and the murder rate is increasing

They robbed a bank, they gave my nigga Hank time for driving
Some individuals robbed a bank, and my friend Hank received a prison sentence for being the getaway driver

We hustle, ain't no 9-to-5'n (uh-uh)
We grind and hustle instead of having regular 9-to-5 jobs

When beef go down, I might just have to do some time, I'm riding (fo'sho')
When there is a conflict or danger, I'm willing to go to jail if necessary, I'm loyal

It's on, you gon' be on your back
If you mess with me, you'll end up lying on the ground

I'm representing Detroit, until I die you see this D on my hat, nigga

Meanwhile I'm in the sky loft, stretching the coke
While all that is happening, I'm in my luxurious hideout, preparing and distributing cocaine

Hold yo' head in this piranha tank, bitch let 'em gnaw on your face
Be cautious in this dangerous environment, as I will allow others to harm you

Pussy ass niggas lie in they bars
Weak individuals in the rap game make false claims in their lyrics

'til they collide with niggas like me, see they dog die in they arms
Until they face real individuals like me, they will witness their companions getting killed

I'm from Detroit nigga, smuggler's heaven
I come from Detroit, which is a great place for illegal smuggling activities

Lions, Tigers and bears, gorillas, snakes man the jungle is present
