Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Trill Fam., Young Savage you can catch me
Fresh kicks, fresh bows, and a fresh tee
We two crucial ass hoes yea that's me
Look at him his eyes closed he ain't even sleep

Say Boosie chill wit all that swervin' too much dope in here
Nigga slow down you betta think about Big Head and Pimp
Y'all want that savage shit, I gotta represent
Y'all want some rider shit well here it is then

How you ridin'? Bad bitch hair did nails feet too
How you ridin'? Leather seats TV's with the beat too
How you ridin'? Gettin' bent behind tint you can't see through
And my rims way bigger than yours

How you ridin'? Bad bitch hair did nails feet too
How you ridin'? Leather seats TV's with the beat too
How you ridin'? Gettin' bent behind tint you can't see through
And my rims way bigger than yours

Red truck, blue truck, green truck, black truck
Suburban, Excursion, that Tahoe, that 'llac truck
Fuck it a bucket, a Delta, a Cutlass
A Regal, a Montague whatever you thuggin'

It's suped up, it's couped up, it fold down with gray sound
When summer hit you gotta keep the roof up or it go down
That bad bitch now she be in that Mustang or that Sebring
Or stuntin' her ass off in that '05 her man bought

How much your paint cost? Look like it just got rained on
Tell me this when you stop do your rims stop or they keep goin'
Your Nissan, your Neon, your old man Caprice own
You finna take off them twenties and put them big 23's on

Watchin' the latest DVD's with the TV's on
It's hot AC in winter can turn your heat on
You hear them loud pipes as soon as you put your feet on
Bicycles, motorbikes, whatever you on the street on

How you ridin'? Bad bitch hair did nails feet too
How you ridin'? Leather seats TV's with the beat too
How you ridin'? Gettin' bent behind tint you can't see through
And my rims way bigger than yours

How you ridin'? Bad bitch hair did nails feet too
How you ridin'? Leather seats TV's with the beat too
How you ridin'? Gettin' bent behind tint you can't see through
And my rims way bigger than yours

You went the cheap route or do that deck pop out
You gon' let that tech pop out if that mess pop out
How you ridin'? Want you ain't worried bout flossin'
You hollerin' fuck what I'm talking your shit better than walkin'

It's five stickers up on it look like the junkyard on it
The 26's up on it and Boocu bitches up on it
What kinda motor up in it think it can fuck with that Hemi
