Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Like a motherfucking gangsta gun toaster, slash prankster
In the 7 on Dalvins with Cash, we be mashing
To the club seeing who gon' hurl who the fastest
Bitches sipping bubbly and drinking thug passion
Niggas get them lil' pistols shoved in they asses
This hundred-and-one round drum take up half the
Trunk so punk, we gon' tear up this club faster
And if you get on then we can use you
From 7 and Woodward to 7 and Telly, the West side
Where niggas with 'Cardis, weapons in Pelle's yes ma
From 7 and Woodward to 7 and Kelly the East side
It's murder from Kelly and further
East where peace signs and street signs is unheard of
You can either collide with me or ride with me
(This is how we ride)
Up and down, Plymouth (ride) B-Roc, niggas (ride)
Up and down, Finkel (ride) Bright Mo', niggas (ride)
Up and down, Sixth P.A., niggas (we ride)
Up and down, Seven 7 Mile, dogs (this is how we ride)
Up and down, Eight (ride) 8 Mile, niggas (ride)
Up and down, Nine (ride) Oak Park, niggas (ride)
Up and down, Ten up and down, Eleven (we ride)
Southfield, niggas (this is how we)
In the D every day is violent, it's never silent
All you hear is cop sirens and shots firing
Being broke got tiring so how I'm supposed to eat?
I chose the street, fuck a job, they not hiring
Cats be tripping, 'gnac we sipping
Crack be flipping, you will never catch me slipping
Watch out or get stuck for your jacket
AIDS spreading, strap up 'fore you catch it
A dude chopped his wife up with a hatchet (damn)
You might live to see eighteen
She got raped, he gagged her mouth, so she can't scream
It's the murder Mitten, crime is rising
They robbed a bank, they gave my nigga Hank time for driving
We hustle, ain't no 9-to-5'n (uh-uh)
When beef go down, I might just have to do some time, I'm riding (fo'sho')
It's on, you gon' be on your back
I'm representing Detroit, until I die you see this D on my hat, nigga
(This is how we ride)
Up and down the Craft (ride) School Craft, niggas (ride)
Up and down, Joy (ride) Joy Road, niggas (ride)
Off West, Gram my Zone 8, niggas (we ride)
Up and down, Warren West Warren, niggas (this is how we ride)
Up and down the Wood (ride) Linwood, niggas (ride)
Up and down, Twelfth (ride) Twelfth Street, niggas (ride)
Up and down, Dexter my Dexter niggas (we ride)
Off Davidson Ave Woodrow, nigga (this is how we)
The weapons is close
One wrong hood get cooked, news stressing your folks
I have your block, in them white tees repping your ghost
Meanwhile I'm in the sky loft, stretching the coke
My name Juan nigga boss of the state
Hold yo' head in this piranha tank, bitch let 'em gnaw on your face
Pussy ass niggas lie in they bars
'til they collide with niggas like me, see they dog die in they arms
I'm from Detroit nigga, smuggler's heaven
Lions, Tigers and bears, gorillas, snakes man the jungle is present
Go ahead and play hard man
They find yo' ass half-naked, somewhere off in them trees like Tarzan
Nigga, beating your chest with Ninas and tec's
My niggas cutthroat gangsta, beat you to death
Don't make the pump blow waste ya, all on the steps
Man every Dirty Glove banger, throw up your set, nigga!
