Let Me Ride
Dr Dre & Snoop Dogg Lyrics

Creepin' down the back street on these
Quietly driving down the street

I got my glock cocked 'cause niggas want these
I am carrying a firearm ready to defend myself against potential threats

Now soon as I said it, seems I got sweated
As soon as I mentioned my weapon, someone tried to rob me

By some nigga with a tech 9 tryin' to take mine
I was approached by someone with a Tech 9 firearm, attempting to steal from me

You want to make noise, make noise
If you want to start trouble, go ahead

I make a phone call my niggas comin' like the Gotti boys
I have backup that will come defend me if I call them; they are reliable like the Gotti family

Bodies bein' found on Greenleaf
Dead bodies have been discovered on the street of Greenleaf

With their fucking heads cut off, motherfucker I'm Dre
I am responsible for these killings, and I am known as Dre

So listen to the play-by-play, day-by-day
Pay attention to the details of what is happening every day

Rollin' in my '4 with 16 switches
I am driving a lowrider car, equipped with 16 switches to control the hydraulics

And got sounds for the bitches, clockin' all the riches
I have a sound system in my car to impress women and I am acquiring wealth

Got the hollow points for the snitches
I have ammunition designed to kill informants

So would you just walk on by, 'cause I'm too hard to lift
It is best to avoid getting involved with me, as I am not easily intimidated

And no this ain't Aerosmith
This is not a rock song by the band Aerosmith

It's the motherfucking D-R-E, from the CPT
This is a rap song by Dr. Dre, representing Compton, California

On a robbin' spree, a straight G
I am committing robberies and am considered a true gangster

Hop back as I pop my top ya trip
Watch out as I open my car door and prepare to shoot

I let the hollow points commence to POP POP POP
I fire my ammunition, designed to kill on impact

Yeah, 'cause if it don't stop
I will continue to commit crimes and use violence

I have to put my shit in reverse go back and take anothers stop
I may need to retrace my steps and commit another crime in order to escape the authorities

'Cause I'm (Rollin in my six-fo')
Because I am driving my lowrider car

With all the niggas saying
With everyone I encounter

Swing down, sweet chariot stop and, let me ride
This is a reference to the traditional spiritual song, asking for a ride to heaven

Just another motherfucking day for Dre so I begin like this
This is just another typical day for me to start my song

No medallions, dreadlocks, or black fists it's just
I am not trying to look like a traditional activist or revolutionary

That gangster glare, with gangster raps
I am projecting a menacing stare and making rap music about gangster culture

That gangster shit, that makes the gang of snaps,
My music makes people excited about gangster life

Word to the motherfucking streets
I speak the truth about the rough reality of the streets

And word to these hyped ass lyrics and dope beats, that I
I am shouting out to my own rap lyrics and music production

Hit ya with that I, get ya with
I am delivering impactful lines and verses

As I groove in my four on these, hitting the switches
I am driving my lowrider car, activating my hydraulic switches

Bitches relax while I get my proper swerve on
Women should calm down and enjoy my smooth driving

Bumping like a motherfucker ready to get my serve on
My music is playing loudly and I am ready to party

But before I hit the dope spot
Before I go to the drug-dealing location

I gotta get the chronic, the Reme Martin and my soda pop
I need to buy some marijuana, cognac, and soda before arriving at the drug location

Now I'm smelling like indo-nesia
I am now smelling like high-quality marijuana from Indonesia

Bus stop full of fly bitches and skeezers
There are attractive women at the bus stop

On my dick, cause my four on hit
Women are attracted to me and my car

Pancake front and back, side to side and all that shit
My car is bouncing and moving in various directions

So when I crawl I comes correct
I have a very smooth lowrider car

Now, if your bitch in my shit, it's your bitch you check nigga
If your woman is attracted to me or becomes involved with me, it is your own responsibility to address it

Now let the Chevrolet slide
Let my car glide smoothly

As I dip a nigga trip to the south side, yeah
I am driving to the southern area of my city

Check this out
Listen carefully to what I am about to say

The sun went down when I hit Slausson
It was nighttime when I arrived at Slausson street

On my way to the strip, now I'm just flossing
I am driving to the popular street with businesses and showing off my wealth

Checking my rear view, cause niggas they will do
I am being cautious and checking to see if anyone is following me, because they may try to rob me

Jack moves, black fools cause I smack fools
I will physically hit someone who tries to rob me

Try to set me up for a two-eleven
Someone may try to trick me or rob me

Fuck around and get caught up in a one-eight-seven
They may end up being killed

But I don't represent no gangbang
I am not affiliated with any specific gang

Some niggas like lynching but I just watch them hang
Some people are violent or vigilantes, but I just watch and don't participate

So on, and so-on, why don't you let me roll on
This is just a part of life and I will continue to drive around the city

I remember back in the days when I used to have to get my stroll on
I remember a time when I had to walk around instead of driving

Didn't nobody wanna speak, now everybody
In the past, people did not acknowledge me, but now

Peeping out they windows when they hear me beating up the streets
People watch me drive by their homes when they hear my loud car

Is it Dre? Is it Dre?
People wonder if it is me driving by

That's what they say, every single motherfucking day, yo
People frequently discuss me and my car

But I ain't tripping I'm just kicking it
I am not worried or bothered, I am just relaxing

While my D's keep spinning and these hoes keep grinning I'll be
My wheels keep spinning and women continue to show interest in me

Rollin in my six-fo' with everybody saying
I am driving in my lowrider car and everyone around me is talking about it
