Ridin
Bun B Feat. Slim Thug & Play-N-Skillz Lyrics

R.I.P. Guru
Paying respects to GangStarr's Guru who passed away

GangStarr 4 Life
Showing support and loyalty to the GangStarr brand

Goddamn, Primo!
Showing admiration for DJ Premier's talent

Long time comin', baby
Expressing anticipation for this collaboration

History in the making
Acknowledging the importance of this moment and project

It's goin down, talk to 'em, Preem
Inviting DJ Premier to start the music and set the tone for the song

"Say, this here, Pimp C We fuckin' wit Primo, it-it-it's, it's goin' down, baby"
A vocal sample from Pimp C hyping up the collaboration with DJ Premier

"My mic is loud and my production is tight" - [Big L]
A vocal sample from Big L boasting about his rap skills and production qualities

"We run shit!" "I ain't playin' witchu!"
Lines from the movie 'New Jack City' used to intimidate and assert dominance

Okay, Bun is on the mic, Premier's on the track The South is in the house, now what can fuck wit that?
Establishing Bun B as the rapper and DJ Premier as the producer, while South's rap scene is being represented with pride

And what can fuck wit this? I take shots and don't fuckin miss First on your baby mama bucket list You on some sucka shit, might as well suck a dick 'Cause you bein a bitch just for the fuck of it
Asserting dominance over rivals and telling them to man up

And when I fuckin' spit, niggaz get to tuckin' shit Tryna duck down wherever they can fuckin' get They better ask somebody 'Fore I have big truck pass the shotty and blast somebody, bitch!
Warning others to stay out of trouble and to respect the authority and power of Bun B and his crew

Mastered the flow, the gun and the hand game Now I'm resurrectin' a real nigga campaign
Being skilled in lyricism, gun fighting, and street knowledge without losing authenticity and honesty

Fake ass niggaz, we snatch 'em out the damn rain Take they damn chain, hit 'em with the damn thang Bang! Now that's what happen when the trigger blow
Telling others that fake people will be exposed, robbed, and hurt when crossing the wrong people

Okay, Bun is on the mic, Premier's on the track The South is in the house, now what can fuck wit that?
Repeating the same lines to emphasize the superior quality of Southern hip hop

You not built up I'll break ya bitch-ass down and leave you filled up See that's how blood get spilled up, 'cause you all grilled up And got the hammer on you, but it's still tucked 'Cause you scared to pull it, even mo' scared to POP You ain't a gangsta, you need to stop
Exposing those who pretend to be tough and violent, but are actually cowards

I'm a type of nigga pull up at a evening spot Squeeze and pop niggaz 'til they weave and drop, ock! You the type that gotta call in the goons I come one deep, strapped like an army platoon
Showing confidence in one's own fighting ability and mocking those who rely on others and hide behind them

When I get to (Gladiatin') on haters like Leonidas Niggaz gonna have to admit that he the tightest You talk a big game mayne, but mine's bigger bro
Comparing oneself to legendary fighters and leaders, and claiming superiority in terms of skills and accomplishments

The South is in the house, now what can fuck wit that? And who can fuck wit us? Better bring your mic game
Boasting about the South's strength and talent, and daring others to challenge them

Mike Jordon, Mike Tyson, Big Mike mayne Big dough, big flow, big fight game Take you out the zone, put you in the right frame
Drawing analogies between famous athletes and oneself, and highlighting the importance of being in the right mindset and motivation to succeed

We got it locked like a figure-fo' Aiyyo Premier, let a motherfuckin' nigga know!
Being confident and ready to face any challenge, and asking DJ Premier to keep the beat going

Bitch! ... Threw ya hoe-ass around while real niggaz come down Hah! Yeaaah! ... Love you, boy Real rap shit, real nigga shit We gone!
Using derogatory language to denigrate rivals and celebrate one's own success, and showing camaraderie and respect for DJ Premier
