Uh-huh
Catch me in the mall
You know I buy it out
G5 planes, yeah I fly it out
On the back look like 'Lac sittin' on 28s
Oh you can't get her if you ain't got plenty cake
Booties look like this size
23 waist, pretty face, thick thighs
I can do it big
I can do it long
I can do whenever or however
You want
I can do it up and down
I can do circles
To him I'm a gymnast
This room is my circus
I market it so good
They can't wait 'til you try me
I work it so good
Man, these
Tryna buy I I I I me
They love the way I ride it ('cause I do it good)
They love the way I ride it ('cause it feels so good, yeah)
They love the way I ride it ('cause I do it good)
They love the way I ride the beat
How I ride the beat
I ride it, they love the way I ride it
They love the way I ride it
They love the way I ride the beat
Like I'm a freak freak freak, uh
And I won't stop, don't stop, get it, get it
I'ma pitch it down the middle baby, hit it, hit it
I do it to him right, it's mmh-mmh good
Handle my business like a big girl should
1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 4
5 o'clock, 6 o'clock, baby give me more
Pick me up, pick me up, you are my Ducati
All up on your frame, baby say my name
Show you how to get 'em, show you how to do it
Left hip, right hip, put your back into it
I market it so good, they can't wait to try-uh-uh-uh-uy me
I work it so good, man these tryna buy-uh-uh-uh-uy me
He love the way I ride it
He love the way I ride it
He love the way I ride it (I love the way you ride the beat baby)
He love the way I ride the beat (I love it)
Like a freak freak freak, uh
Luda!
She ride it like a roller coaster
Soon as I get her to the top, she screams
I put her out like a light
She'll be out for the night
Soon as I hit, her head hit the pillow, sweet dreams
Wake her up 'bout thirty minutes later
Calling me to tell me later, "Let's go again"
Red zone, I'ma get her first down, call me Luda Drew Brees, I throw it in
Touchdown, he scores, Ludacris the MVP
With a rack like that and a back like that, Cici, better see-see me
'Cause them legs just keep on going, so I gotta put her to bed
Let the 808 thump and the beat go bump 'cause she ride it like a thoroughbred
He love the way I ride it
He love the way I ride it
He love the way I ride it
He love the way I ride the beat
Like I'm a freak freak freak, uh
(Ooh ooh ooh) oh baby baby baby
Do you like it up, when I'm up
When I'm down, when I'm down?
(Ooh ooh ooh) oh baby baby baby
He can't stand to look away while I'm whirlin' this around
(Ooh ooh ooh) oh baby baby
You like it, when I take it up and down
(Ooh ooh ooh) oh baby
He love it when I twirl this thing all around
He love the way I ride it
He love the way I ride it
He love the way I ride it
He love the way I ride the beat
Like I'm a freak freak freak, uh
Catch me in the mall, you know I buy it out
G5 plane, yeah I fly it out
On the back look like 'Lac sittin' on 28s
No you can't get her if you ain't got plenty cake
ATL, Georgia, booties look like this size
23 waist, pretty face, thick thighs
The opening lines of Ciara's song 'Ride' serve as a tour announcement. She is inviting her fans to the mall to help her shop before she flies out on her G5 plane. The song is a confident and sensual ode to her prowess in bed. Ciara notes that she can do it big, long, whenever or however her partner wants it. She uses circus and gymnastics metaphors to describe how she can perform in bed. Ciara markets herself so well that men can't wait to try her out in bed, and they are willing to pay for it.
In the chorus, Ciara sings about how much men love the way she rides the beat. According to her, it feels so good, and they can't get enough of it. She insinuates that her performance in bed is like that of a freak. Ludacris comes in with a verse that further emphasizes the sexual nature of the song. He likens sex with Ciara to a roller coaster, and she rides him so well that he puts her to bed afterward.
The song is about sexual liberation, and it is evident in the way Ciara owns her sexuality in the lyrics. She is confident and proud of her sexual prowess, and she wants the world to know about it. If you listen to "Ride" for the first time, you might think that it is all about Ciara showing off her body, but a careful listen to the lyrics shows that it's an empowering song that celebrates a woman's control over her own sexuality.
