LOWRIDR
Duckwrth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To get high, u got to get low first
I done rode on the back of the bus like All my life
But it's funny though, Cause that's where I found my wife
Man I hate the bus
I'd rather just ride my bike
Everything's alright (1-2-3-4)
You can take a ride on my bike
Lowridr bike
You can take a ride on my bike
Lowridr (Bounce)
You can take a ride on my bike
Lowridr bike
Lowridr bike
Lowridr
We cruise down the block
Sk8 hi Vans
And some thick scrunch socks
Ice cream man let me get a double scoop
Then I ride off in my Lowridr drop
Jody said he had a new scraper black on black lord Vader
Plus it came with Chubacca in the trunk
Open that up and let the beast just knock
So we cruise around the block
Wondering when the heat gonna drop
And I ain't even talking about a sun
I'm talking bout the cops with gun
Lookin like he never have fun
Never will I ever will I find some one
Lead my parade to the beat of my drum
The deeper I go yo the deeper I cum
Went so deep that it touch your soul!
Back in the day it was in ink and scroll
Now it's lcd double click and scroll
Back in the day you would pick your nose
Now it's pick presidents, who runs these poles?
I swear on the oath, that I won't stop. now sit yourself right on top
Booty round, looking like two gum drops, Good Lawd say
You can take a ride on my bike
Lowridr bike
You can take a ride on my bike
Lowridr (Bounce)
You can take a ride on my bike
Lowridr bike
Lowridr bike
Lowridr
I done rode on the back of the bus like
All my life
But it's funny though
Cause that's where I found my wife
Man I hate the bus
I'd rather just ride my bike
Park that ass on my handle bars and
Everything's alright

Jody said he had a new scraper black on black lord Vader
A friend named Jody told me he got a new black car that looks like Darth Vader's car
Plus it came with Chubacca in the trunk
He also had a stuffed Chewbacca toy in the trunk
Open that up and let the beast just knock
He wants to hear the loud sound system in the car
Wondering when the heat gonna drop
Worried about when the police will interfere
And I ain't even talking about a sun
I'm not talking about the heat outside
I'm talking bout the cops with gun
I'm talking about the police and their guns
Lookin like he never have fun
The police officer looks unhappy and unfriendly
Never will I ever will I find some one
I won't find anyone like me
Lead my parade to the beat of my drum
I lead my life the way I want to
The deeper I go yo the deeper I cum
The more I explore life, the more satisfied I become
Went so deep that it touch your soul!
I have explored life so deeply that it has touched my soul
Back in the day it was in ink and scroll
In the past, knowledge was passed down through writing with ink on scrolls
Now it's lcd double click and scroll
Nowadays, we use computer screens to learn and explore
Back in the day you would pick your nose
In the past, picking your nose was a common habit
Now it's pick presidents, who runs these poles?
Nowadays, we choose political leaders in elections and make important decisions
I swear on the oath, that I won't stop. now sit yourself right on top
I promise that I won't quit, so come ride with me
Booty round, looking like two gum drops, Good Lawd say
Her behind is so perfect that it looks like two pieces of candy, good lord

Park that ass on my handle bars and
Sit on my bicycle's handlebars and
Everything's alright
Everything is better when I ride my bicycle
