we ride feat. r. kelly nore and jay-z
Cam'ron Lyrics

Uh huh hey I remember when I back in the days
I reminisce about the past, when I had no success

When I ain't hot shit
When I wasn't popular or successful

But now that I got shit
But now that I have achieved success

Niggas want to keep up shit
People want to create drama and compete with me

But it's all good watch me do this shit
But I'm unfazed, watch me continue to succeed

Yo yo yo yo ay yo from my town to Chitown
From my hometown to Chicago

R. Kelly got some thugs to make you lock down
R. Kelly has some tough guys who can intimidate others

Voice cry hot sounds tied down cop twisters
Their voices cry out with intense and powerful sounds, attracting attention

Shop lifters with Benini schemes
They engage in stealing from stores using well-planned methods

Smoke greenie green candyman up in cabrini green
We smoke marijuana while being in the Cabrini-Green housing project

Some cats I know like to splurge on they wrists
Some people I know like to spend extravagantly on their jewelry

But my man karate man cut the nerves out his fist
But my friend who practices karate has damaged his hand nerves

But yo, throw your hands up why'all it's just love in here
But everyone, raise your hands in celebration, there's only love in this place

It ain't shit but a thug affair
It's nothing but a gathering of tough individuals

I'm at the bar spendin' thug money
I'm at the bar spending money earned from illegal activities

Cop so much huh, they say I love money carats like bugs bunny
I buy so many expensive things, people compare me to the cartoon character Bugs Bunny

So lets slide you got the right thong
So let's move smoothly, you're wearing the right underwear

Dju don't know, I'm all night long
You don't know, I can last all night

The DJ playing all the right songs
The DJ is playing the perfect selection of songs

To the BM, REM's are Muy bien
To the beautiful women, rapid eye movements (REM) while dreaming are excellent

It's R. Kelly, killer Cam'
It's R. Kelly and Cam'Ron, who both have a strong presence

Baby girl, can you dig now
Baby girl, do you understand now?

Next time we see him yo, we laying Mr. Biggs down
Next time we encounter him, we're going to defeat Mr. Biggs

To all my players and my thugs
To all my skilled individuals and my tough guys

To all my honeys in the club
To all my attractive women in the club

To all the hoods that show me love
To all the neighborhoods that support and appreciate me

We ride, we ride
We continue to move forward, we ride through life

To all my ballers lockin' ice, getting a room for the night
To all my wealthy individuals wearing expensive jewelry, booking hotel rooms for the night

Taking first class flights, we ride, we ride
Flying in luxury with first-class flights, we ride through life

Yo, I used to be in Chitown and collect panties
I used to be in Chicago and collect women's underwear

When I make cabrini green you know I hit Sammy's
When I visit Cabrini-Green, a housing project, I go to Sammy's

Thugged out yo, all my people givin' eye jammies
Acting tough, all my friends are giving intimidating looks

Now them shorties say I'm cute, when they can't stand me
Now, girls who used to dislike me claim I'm attractive

R. Kelly yo, I'm right from the belly, you know the soul
R. Kelly, I'm from the heart and soul of the city

Everything that we spit on is platinum gold
Everything we create is of the highest quality and valuable

But now it's for the love, for all the players and the thugs
But now, we create music for the love of it and for all the skilled individuals and tough guys

Yo, it's a party goin' on, meet me right at the club
There's a lively event happening, come meet me at the club

We got some chickens in the living room getting it on
There are some women engaging in sexual activities in the living room

And they ain't leaving 'till six in the morning
And they won't leave until six o'clock in the morning

Thugged out, my people gettin' head while we on and
Acting tough, my friends are receiving oral pleasure while we're present

Tear the club up every time we performin'
We cause chaos and excitement everytime we perform at the club

Gun up in your waist, please don't shoot up the place
Carrying a gun on your waist, but please don't shoot people here

Because this shorty right here, lookin' good in my face
Because this attractive girl right here is catching my attention

Ay yo, it's so deep I told shorty just last week
It's so meaningful, I told this girl just last week

Uh huh, it's like, you remind me of my jeep
You remind me of my car

Only ballers be allowed up in here
Only wealthy individuals are permitted here

Money makers got my thug niggas watchin' my rear for player haters
My gangster friends, who are money makers, are watching out for people who envy me

Eighteen and I'm livin' a dream, go figure
At the age of eighteen, I'm living a dream, it's hard to believe

How a nigga that's younger than you, ice bigger
How can a younger person like me have more expensive jewelry than you?

Don't sweat that, stick to rap nigga, try that
Don't worry about that, focus on rapping, try to do that

Call my nigga R. Kell if you need a hit, black
Contact my friend R. Kelly if you need a hit song

And when you get it, make it known baby, who did it
And when you achieve success, make sure people know who was responsible

It'll make your fans hit the stores and go get it
It will encourage your fans to go to the stores and purchase it

Now, here come a bitter sweet note for the fellas
Now, here comes a conflicting message for the guys

Left out the club with her friend, now she jealous
Left the club with one of her friends, now she feels jealous

Mad 'cause she can't ride in the LS
Angry because she can't ride in the luxury car (Lexus LS)

Yeah, she kinda mad but a baller could care less
Yeah, she might be angry but a wealthy person wouldn't care

While you sleep, sleep, sleep
While you're sleeping, I'm wide awake

I'm inna Benz going beep, beep, beep
I'm in a Mercedes-Benz, the horn goes beep, beep, beep

Got your girl sayin' "Yo, who he?"
Got your girl saying, "Who is he?"

So let's ride to Rockland's party, uh huh
So let's go to Rockland's party, yes

Check, Ghetto pro' federal
Check, I am an accomplished and respected figure from the ghetto

Jay-Z shake the dice, let 'em go
Jay-Z takes a risk and rolls the dice, let them go

Bet a load I tear down every show
I bet a significant amount of money that I will deliver an outstanding performance at every show

Better know cheddar crowed like the front babe row
You better understand that I have a crowd of wealthy supporters like the front row of a concert

Says R., Jay why'all, all I need is four bars
R. Kelly says, Jay-Z and all of you, all I need is four lines of lyrics

I'm hotter than a lotta men
I'm more popular and successful than many men

Switch up cars like Rodman's hair color, then hit your broad
I change cars frequently, similar to Dennis Rodman changing his hair color, then I pursue your woman

I'm borderline too much for the mortal mind
I am on the verge of being too much for ordinary people to comprehend

Every time you ought to rewind, find there's more to find
Every time you should rewind my songs, you'll discover there's more to discover

Now pop that cork, then pour the wine
Now open that bottle of wine, then pour it

Represent New York to Chitown, like what
I represent New York all the way to Chicago, you know?

Floss mine, like of course my, what
Showing off my success and wealth, it's expected, you know?

Never cross my family, can we all get along? Hell no
Never harm my family, can we all peacefully coexist? Absolutely not

I'm tryin' to tell why'all who dat is that rule that biz
I'm trying to inform all of you who is in charge of this industry

Not your baby daddy but Jay-Z, true that is
I may not be your child's father, but I'm Jay-Z, that's the truth

Better school that kid on who's shoes that is
Better educate that child about the person who owns those shoes

Or who I be nigga, V.I.P Jigga
Or who I am, my name is Jigga, I'm a VIP

Let's get together and make this loot
Let's come together and make a lot of money

Come on players
Come on skilled individuals

Rock-a-fella ya'll
Representing Roc-A-Fella, all of you
