Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They see me rollin
They hatin
Patrolling they tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty My music so loud
I'm swangin
They hopin that they gon catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
[Verse 1 - Chamillionaire]
Police think they can see me lean
I'm tint so it ain't easy to be seen
When you see me ride by they can see the glean
And my shine on the deck and the TV screen
Ride with a new chick, she like hold up
Next to the playstation controller is a full clip and my pistola
Turn a jacker into a coma
Girl you ain't know, I'm crazy like Krayzie Bone
Just tryin to bone ain't tryin to have no babies
Rock clean itself so I pull in ladies
Laws of patrolling you know they hate me
Music turned all the way up until the maximum
I can speak for some niggas tryin to jack for some
But we packin somethin that we have and um will have a nigga locked up in the maximum
Security cell, I'm grippin oak
Music loud and tippin slow
Twist and twistin like hit this dough Police pull up from behind and is in his throat
Windows down gotta stop pollution
CDs change niggas like who is that producing?
This the Play-N-Skillz when we out and cruisin
Got warrants in every city except Houston but I'm still ain't losin
[Chorus]
[Verse 2 - Krayzie Bone]
I been drinkin and smokin holdin shit cause a brother can't focus
I gotta get to home 'fore the po po's scope this big ol Excursion swerving all up in the curve man
Nigga been sippin on that Hennessey and the gin again is in again we in the wind
Doin a hundred while I puff on the blunt
And rollin another one up, we livin like we ain't givin a fuck
I got a revolver in my right hand, 40 oz on my lap freezing my balls
Roll a nigga tree, green leaves and all
Comin pretty deep, me and my do-jo
I gotta get back to backstreets
Wanted by the six pound and I got heat glock glock shots to the block we creep creep
Pop Pop hope cops don't see me, on a low key
With no regards for the law we dodge em like fuck em all
But I won't get caught up and brought up on charges for none of y'all
Keep a gun in car, and a blunt to spark, but well if you want, nigga you poppin dark
Ready or not we bust shots off in the air Krayzie Bone and Chamillionaire
[Chorus]
[Verse 3 - Chamillionaire]
Do what you thinkin so, I tried to let you go
Turn up a blink of light and I swang it slower
A nigga upset for sure cause they think they know that they catchin me with plenty of the drink and dro
So they get behind me tryin to check my tags, look at my rearview and they smilin
Thinkin they'll catch me on the wrong well keep tryin
Cause they denyin is racial profiling
Houston, TX you can check my tags
Pull me over try to check my slab
Glove compartment gotta get my cash
Cause the crooked cops try to come up fast
And been a baller that I am I talk to them, giving a damn bout not feeling my attitude
When they realize I ain't even ridin dirty bet you'll be leavin with an even madder mood
I'mma laugh at you then I'mma have to cruise I'm in number two on some more DJ Screw
You can't arrest me plus you can't sue
This a message to the laws tellin them WE HATE YOU
I can't be touched or tell 'em that they shoulda known
Tippin' down, sittin' crooked on my chrome
Bookin' my phone, tryin' to find a chick I wanna bone
Like they couldn't stop me I'mma 'bout to pull up at your home and it's on
[Chorus 2x]

[Verse 1 - Chamillionaire]
Beginning of the first verse
Police think they can see me lean
The police think I'm driving recklessly
I'm tint so it ain't easy to be seen
My windows are dark so it's hard to see me
When you see me ride by they can see the glean
People can see my car shining
And my shine on the deck and the TV screen
My car's shiny rims and TV screens are visible
Ride with a new chick, she like hold up
I'm driving with a new girl and she wants me to slow down
Next to the playstation controller is a full clip and my pistola
There's a gun next to my Playstation controller
Turn a jacker into a coma
If someone tries to rob me, I'll put them into a coma
Girl you ain't know, I'm crazy like Krayzie Bone
You don't know, but I'm just as crazy as Krayzie Bone
Just tryin to bone ain't tryin to have no babies
I'm just trying to have sex and not have any children
Rock clean itself so I pull in ladies
My car is so clean, it attracts women
Laws of patrolling you know they hate me
The police don't like me because I break the law
Music turned all the way up until the maximum
My music is at its highest volume
I can speak for some niggas tryin to jack for some
I understand some people are trying to steal from me
But we packin somethin that we have and um will have a nigga locked up in the maximum
We have weapons that could get someone arrested
Security cell, I'm grippin oak
I'm holding onto my steering wheel tightly
Music loud and tippin slow
My music is loud and I'm driving slowly
Twist and twistin like hit this dough
I'm swerving back and forth like a dough mixer
Police pull up from behind and is in his throat
The police are behind me and I feel trapped
Windows down gotta stop pollution
I lower my windows to stop pollution
CDs change niggas like who is that producing?
People listen to my music and ask who produced it
This the Play-N-Skillz when we out and cruisin
This is Play-N-Skillz music when we're driving around
Got warrants in every city except Houston but I'm still ain't losin
I have warrants in many cities, but I'm not letting it bring me down
[Verse 2 - Krayzie Bone]
Beginning of the second verse
I been drinkin and smokin holdin shit cause a brother can't focus
I'm drinking and smoking and can't focus
I gotta get to home 'fore the po po's scope this big ol Excursion swerving all up in the curve man
I need to get home before the police see me swerving in my big Excursion car
Nigga been sippin on that Hennessey and the gin again is in again we in the wind
I've been drinking Hennessey and gin and now I'm driving fast
Doin a hundred while I puff on the blunt
I'm driving 100mph while smoking a blunt
And rollin another one up, we livin like we ain't givin a fuck
I'm rolling another blunt, and we're living carefree
I got a revolver in my right hand, 40 oz on my lap freezing my balls
I have a gun in my right hand, and a cold 40 oz drink on my lap
Roll a nigga tree, green leaves and all
I'm rolling a blunt with green leaves
Comin pretty deep, me and my do-jo
I'm with my gang
I gotta get back to backstreets
I need to go back to my neighborhood
Wanted by the six pound and I got heat glock glock shots to the block we creep creep
The police are after me and I have a gun, we sneak around in the neighborhood
Pop Pop hope cops don't see me, on a low key
I hope the police don't see me, I'm trying to go unnoticed
With no regards for the law we dodge em like fuck em all
We don't follow the law, we avoid the police as much as possible
But I won't get caught up and brought up on charges for none of y'all
I won't get caught and arrested for your sake
Keep a gun in car, and a blunt to spark, but well if you want, nigga you poppin dark
I keep a gun and a blunt in my car, and if you want a problem, you're in trouble
Ready or not we bust shots off in the air Krayzie Bone and Chamillionaire

[Verse 3 - Chamillionaire]
Beginning of the third verse
Do what you thinkin so, I tried to let you go
Do what you're thinking, I tried to ignore you
Turn up a blink of light and I swang it slower
I turn on my blinker and slow down
A nigga upset for sure cause they think they know that they catchin me with plenty of the drink and dro
The police think they're going to catch me and accuse me of drinking and smoking
So they get behind me tryin to check my tags, look at my rearview and they smilin
The police get behind me to check my license plate and smile as if they caught me
Thinkin they'll catch me on the wrong well keep tryin
The police think they'll catch me doing something wrong, but they won't
Cause they denyin is racial profiling
They're denying my rights by racially profiling me
Houston, TX you can check my tags
You can check my license plate in Houston, Texas
Pull me over try to check my slab
The police might pull me over to check my car
Glove compartment gotta get my cash
I need to get money from my glove compartment
Cause the crooked cops try to come up fast
The corrupt police are trying to take advantage of me
And been a baller that I am I talk to them, giving a damn bout not feeling my attitude
As a successful person, I talk to the police, even though I don't like them
When they realize I ain't even ridin dirty bet you'll be leavin with an even madder mood
When the police realize I'm not breaking the law, they'll be very angry
I'mma laugh at you then I'mma have to cruise I'm in number two on some more DJ Screw
I'll laugh at the police, then drive away and listen to DJ Screw
You can't arrest me plus you can't sue
You can't arrest me and you can't sue me
This a message to the laws tellin them WE HATE YOU
This is a message to the laws, saying we hate them
I can't be touched or tell 'em that they shoulda known
I can't be caught, and they should have known that
Tippin' down, sittin' crooked on my chrome
I'm driving slowly and sitting sideways in my shiny car
Bookin' my phone, tryin' to find a chick I wanna bone
I'm looking at my phone, trying to find a girl to have sex with
Like they couldn't stop me I'mma 'bout to pull up at your home and it's on
They couldn't stop me, and now I'm about to come to your home for revenge
[Chorus 2x]
