Let Me Ride
Dr.Dre Ft Snoop Dogg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got my glock cocked 'cause niggas want these
Now soon as I said it, seems I got sweated
By some nigga with a tech 9 tryin' to take mine
You want to make noise, make noise
I make a phone call my niggas comin' like the Gotti boys
Bodies bein' found on Greenleaf
With their fucking heads cut off, motherfucker I'm Dre
Rollin' in my '4 with 16 switches
And got sounds for the bitches, clockin' all the riches
Got the hollow points for the snitches
So would you just walk on by, 'cause I'm too hard to lift
And no this ain't Aerosmith
It's the motherfucking D-R-E, from the CPT
On a robbin' spree, a straight G
Hop back as I pop my top ya trip
I let the hollow points commence to POP POP POP
Yeah, 'cause if it don't stop
I have to put my shit in reverse go back and take anothers stop
'Cause I'm (Rollin in my six-fo')
With all the niggas saying
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and, let me ride
Hell yeah
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and, let me ride
With all the niggas saying
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and, let me ride
Hell yeah
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and, let me ride
Just another motherfucking day for Dre so I begin like this
No medallions, dreadlocks, or black fists it's just
That gangster glare, with gangster raps
That gangster shit, that makes the gang of snaps,
Word to the motherfucking streets
And word to these hyped ass lyrics and dope beats, that I
Hit ya with that I, get ya with
As I groove in my four on these, hitting the switches
Bitches relax while I get my proper swerve on
Bumping like a motherfucker ready to get my serve on
But before I hit the dope spot
I gotta get the chronic, the Reme Martin and my soda pop
Now I'm smelling like indo-nesia
Bus stop full of fly bitches and skeezers
On my dick, cause my four on hit
Pancake front and back, side to side and all that shit
So when I crawl I comes correct
Now, if your bitch in my shit, it's your bitch you check nigga
Now let the Chevrolet slide
As I dip a nigga trip to the south side, yeah
(Rollin in my six-fo') with all the bitches sayin'
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and, let me ride
Hell yeah
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and, let me ride
With all the motherfuckin' bitches sayin'
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and, let me ride
Know what I'm sayin'
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and, let me ride
Check this out
The sun went down when I hit Slausson
On my way to the strip, now I'm just flossing
Checking my rear view, cause niggas they will do
Jack moves, black fools cause I smack fools
Try to set me up for a two-eleven
Fuck around and get caught up in a one-eight-seven
But I don't represent no gangbang
Some niggas like lynching but I just watch them hang
So on, and so-on, why don't you let me roll on
I remember back in the days when I used to have to get my stroll on
Didn't nobody wanna speak, now everybody
Peeping out they windows when they hear me beating up the streets
Is it Dre? Is it Dre?
That's what they say, every single motherfucking day, yo
But I ain't tripping I'm just kicking it
While my D's keep spinning and these hoes keep grinning I'll be
(Rollin in my six-fo') With everybody saying
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and, let me ride
Hell yeah
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and, let me ride
With everybody sayin'
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and, let me ride
Hell yeah
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and, let me ride
The song "Let Me Ride" by Dr. Dre featuring Snoop Dogg is one of the most popular songs from Dre's 1992 debut album "The Chronic". The song is known for its catchy beat, funky groove, and its dark and gritty lyrics.
The first verse of the song talks about Dre and Snoop driving around in Dre's lowrider, with Dre carrying a Glock to protect himself from anyone who tries to rob him. The lyrics talk about Dre being a gangsta and his willingness to use violence to protect himself and his property. The chorus of the song samples the gospel song "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" and adds a catchy and groovy rhythm to it.
The second verse of the song talks about Dre's trip to buy some weed and alcohol. The lyrics describe Dre's car bouncing up and down as he hits the switches, and the attention he receives from the women who see him. The lyrics also mention the dangers of being a gangsta in LA and the possibility of getting caught up in gang violence.
The song's lyrics are a reflection of the gangsta rap culture that was popular in the early 90s. Dre and Snoop were two of the top artists in the genre and their music was a reflection of the harsh realities of life in inner-city Los Angeles at the time.

Creepin' down the back street on these
I'm driving down the street carefully and sneakily
I got my glock cocked 'cause niggas want these
I have my gun ready because people may try to steal from me
Now soon as I said it, seems I got sweated
As soon as I said that, someone started bothering me
By some nigga with a tech 9 tryin' to take mine
Someone with a gun is trying to steal from me
You want to make noise, make noise
If you want to cause trouble, go ahead and do it
I make a phone call my niggas comin' like the Gotti boys
I can call my friends and they'll come help me, like the gangsters in the Gotti family
Bodies bein' found on Greenleaf
People are being killed and left on Greenleaf street
With their fucking heads cut off, motherfucker I'm Dre
The victims are being killed in a brutal way, and I'm the one behind it
So listen to the play-by-play, day-by-day
Pay attention to what's happening every step of the way
Rollin' in my '4 with 16 switches
I'm driving my car and it has 16 different ways to adjust the ride height
And got sounds for the bitches, clockin' all the riches
My car's music is great for attracting women and I'm making a lot of money
Got the hollow points for the snitches
I have ammunition designed to kill those who tell on me to the police
So would you just walk on by, 'cause I'm too hard to lift
Don't even bother trying to mess with me, I'm too tough for you

It's the motherfucking D-R-E, from the CPT
It's me, Dr. Dre, from Compton, California
On a robbin' spree, a straight G
I'm stealing things and causing trouble, just like a gangster
Hop back as I pop my top ya trip
Watch out as I open my car's sunroof and show off
I let the hollow points commence to POP POP POP
I'm shooting my gun and trying to kill someone
Yeah, 'cause if it don't stop
I'll keep shooting until I hit my target
I have to put my shit in reverse go back and take anothers stop
If I don't succeed, I'll go back and try again
'Cause I'm (Rollin in my six-fo')
Because I'm driving a 1964 Chevy Impala
With all the niggas saying
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and, let me ride
Everyone likes my car and wants to ride in it
Just another motherfucking day for Dre so I begin like this
This is a normal day for me, and I'm starting my rapping like usual
No medallions, dreadlocks, or black fists it's just
I don't have any flashy jewelry, hairstyle, or black power symbols on me
That gangster glare, with gangster raps
I'm giving a tough look and rapping about gangster topics
That gangster shit, that makes the gang of snaps,
My gangster style is popular and makes people snap their fingers along to the beat
Word to the motherfucking streets
I'm speaking the truth about the street life and everyone knows it
And word to these hyped ass lyrics and dope beats, that I
I'm also talking about how great my lyrics and music are
Hit ya with that I, get ya with
I'm hitting you with my music and it's really good
As I groove in my four on these, hitting the switches
I'm driving my car and adjusting the suspension while enjoying the ride
Bitches relax while I get my proper swerve on
Women should calm down and enjoy the ride while I do my thing
Bumping like a motherfucker ready to get my serve on
The music is loud and I'm ready to enjoy myself
But before I hit the dope spot
But before I go to the drug dealer's place
I gotta get the chronic, the Reme Martin and my soda pop
I need to buy some weed, cognac, and soda before I go
Now I'm smelling like indo-nesia
Now I'm smelling like potent weed from Indonesia
Bus stop full of fly bitches and skeezers
There are many attractive women at the bus stop
On my dick, cause my four on hit
Women are interested in me because of my car and music
Pancake front and back, side to side and all that shit
My car is lowered and adjusted to be smooth riding and stylish
So when I crawl I comes correct
When I'm driving slowly, I'm doing it in a stylish way
Now, if your bitch in my shit, it's your bitch you check nigga
If your girlfriend is talking to me, you need to control her, not me
Now let the Chevrolet slide
Now let my car smoothly move along the road
As I dip a nigga trip to the south side, yeah
As I go on a drive to the south side of town
'Cause I'm (Rollin in my six-fo')
Because I'm still driving my Chevy Impala
With all the bitches sayin'
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and, let me ride
Everyone wants to ride in my car because it's so cool
Check this out
Listen to what I'm about to say
The sun went down when I hit Slausson
It was dark outside when I got to Slausson street
On my way to the strip, now I'm just flossing
I'm headed to the place where people show off their cars, and I'm showing mine off
Checking my rear view, cause niggas they will do
I'm watching behind me because people may try to steal from me
Jack moves, black fools cause I smack fools
I'm prepared to fight or hurt those who try to rob me
Try to set me up for a two-eleven
They are trying to rob me, and 'two-eleven' is police code for robbery
Fuck around and get caught up in a one-eight-seven
If they mess with me, they may get killed ('one-eight-seven' is code for murder)
But I don't represent no gangbang
I'm not part of a gang or trying to fight over territory
Some niggas like lynching but I just watch them hang
Other people like to harm black people, but I just watch without taking part
So on, and so-on, why don't you let me roll on
I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing, so why not let me?
I remember back in the days when I used to have to get my stroll on
I remember when I had to walk around because I didn't have a car
Didn't nobody wanna speak, now everybody
Peeping out they windows when they hear me beating up the streets
Nobody used to talk to me, but now everyone is watching me drive by and listen to my music
Is it Dre? Is it Dre?
That's what they say, every single motherfucking day, yo
People are always wondering if it's me driving by and listening to my music
But I ain't tripping I'm just kicking it
I'm not worried about it, I'm just relaxing
While my D's keep spinning and these hoes keep grinning I'll be
My car's wheels keep turning and women keep smiling at me while I keep on driving
'Rollin in my six-fo')
With everybody saying
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and, let me ride
I'm still driving my Chevy Impala, and everyone still wants to ride in it
