Let's Ride
Eightball Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be playa about the situation but this is not the time nigga
This is not the time nigga its time to ride its time to ride
Sometimes you have to keep it calm play it low
Bite your bottom lip to keep from clickin' on a hoe
In the streets what the fuck don't nobody play
From Memphis to the Bay niggas diein' all day
Bitches that be thick be settin' up them tricks
Gettin' licks rules don't apply to gettin' rich
Start a business sell a ki pimp a bitch
Make that switch real niggas flip shit
And farm the shit with a bad ass yellow bitch
Eight-Ball translation three and a half
You not affiliated nigga if you have to ask
Rich kid a queens nigga a green nigga
When I say green nigga all about his cream nigga
I suggest invest in a tank and a vest
'Cause me and all my niggas gone ride
One time for my real niggas (let's ride)
Two times for the game its all in your brain
Man if I had a buck for everytime I've fucked up
I would be the big willy nigga with my feet up
But I'm in the field killin' for a meal
Around fake hoes talkin' about they keep it real
Money murder all in my eyes real niggas ride and they don't ask why
I'm a real ass nigga who I be MJ
Livin' to handle business every god damn day
Now who in the fuck be talkin' shit behind my back
Lookin' to find a hundred and thirty ways to get jacked
Tie you in the sack proceed to pack you off too young
Yea you brought some pain I brought the rain and I stun to feel
I wonder will these fake ass bitches become real
Hell naw don't forget bout the spliff and I tell ya'll
Should I spell ya'll fake ass bustas before I see ya
And I can tell by the scent in the air I don't want to meet ya
And I don't care if its the motherfuckin' holidays
I ain't gone preach just pose and look up at me like
A big 'ol pimp ass I'll beat 'cha
Nigga I smash down to take care of killers who spit trash
Small pounds no limit soldiers we kick cash
At the drop of ball D-I-M-E P-I-M-P
Tight pass nigga for real trick don't tell me
One time for my real niggas (let's ride)
Two times for the game its all in your brain
Man if I had a buck for everytime I've fucked up
I would be the big willy nigga with my feet up
But I'm in the field killin' for a meal
Around fake hoes talkin' about they keep it real
Money murder all in my eyes real niggas ride and they don't ask why
Preacher man could you pray for me 'cause I'm about to sin
My homicidal poetry killin' again and again
T-Mix gave me the gun when he sat and made the track
A mental picture forms when I fire up a batch
Of sticky green love controllin' what I'm speakin'
Sprayin' niggas leavin' niggas layin' up leakin'
For weeks and weepin' from my grim reapin' realiwin'
Mj wake 'em up from sleepin'
I'm creepin' peepin' in your windows
Smokin' regular now you gonna leave us behind
We two steps ahead of the competition
We leave 'em wishin' upon the moon
We here with T-Mix creatin' a boom to move the room
Its that pimp shit that hardcore shit that shit you run from
See I ain't got time for this superstlye shit I know where I come from
Ghetto hood ass nigga hard nine if you ever want to meet
Me in person I ain't hard to find
One time for my real niggas (let's ride)
Two times for the game its all in your brain
Man if I had a buck for everytime I've fucked up
I would be the big willy nigga with my feet up
But I'm in the field killin' for a meal
Around fake hoes talkin' about they keep it real
Money murder all in my eyes real niggas ride and they don't ask why
The lyrics to Eightball's song Let's Ride address the reality of street life in Memphis and the Bay area, expressing the necessity to be prepared to ride or die. The first lines make it clear that this is not a time to be calm or composed - it is time to ride. The second verse describes the grim realities of the streets, where people die every day, and the rules don't apply when it comes to getting rich. The use of violence and drugs is a common theme in this world, and the song acknowledges this harsh reality.
Eightball's lyrics also express his pride in being a real, hardworking, and dedicated individual. He speaks of the struggles he has faced and the mistakes he has made but stresses that his focus is on handling business every day. The song's outro is a testament to Eightball's assertiveness and the confidence he has in himself – he says he is a "ghetto hood ass nigga" who is "hard nine" and that he is not hard to find.
Overall, Let's Ride is a song that speaks of the harsh realities of the streets, the need for determination and grit, and the pride that comes with being a true hustler.
Line by Line Meaning
You know sometimes you have to use a little composure
Sometimes you have to keep it calm play it low
Be playa about the situation but this is not the time nigga
Bite your bottom lip to keep from clickin' on a hoe
This is not the time nigga its time to ride its time to ride
But now it's time to ride and get things done
In the streets what the fuck don't nobody play
The streets are tough and nobody is to be trifled with
From Memphis to the Bay niggas diein' all day
Violence is a reality for people living in many cities
Over yea shipped with coke and candy cut up into bricks
Illegal drugs are smuggled and sold in many different forms
Bitches that be thick be settin' up them tricks
Some women are not trustworthy and will betray you
Gettin' licks rules don't apply to gettin' rich
Making money is more important than following rules
Start a business sell a ki pimp a bitch
One way to make money is to start a business and exploit women
Make that switch real niggas flip shit
Smart people are able to make quick and profitable changes
And farm the shit with a bad ass yellow bitch
A successful businessperson surrounds themselves with attractive partners
Eight-Ball translation three and a half
The artist is going to explain something important now
You not affiliated nigga if you have to ask
If you have to ask whether you're affiliated or not, you're not
Rich kid a queens nigga a green nigga
There are people from all walks of life involved in this
When I say green nigga all about his cream nigga
When the artist says 'green', he means money
I suggest invest in a tank and a vest
It's important to be prepared for violence
'Cause me and all my niggas gone ride
The artist and his crew are ready to take action
Man if I had a buck for everytime I've fucked up
The artist has made a lot of mistakes in his life
I would be the big willy nigga with my feet up
If the artist had a dollar for every mistake, he would be very wealthy
But I'm in the field killin' for a meal
Despite past mistakes, the artist is focused on survival and success
Around fake hoes talkin' about they keep it real
There are many people who pretend to be trustworthy but are actually fake
Money murder all in my eyes real niggas ride and they don't ask why
For the artist and his crew, making money is important and they are willing to do whatever it takes
Preacher man could you pray for me 'cause I'm about to sin
The artist recognizes that what he's about to do is wrong but feels he must do it
My homicidal poetry killin' again and again
The artist's lyrics are violent and deadly, and he repeats them often
Ghetto hood ass nigga hard nine if you ever want to meet
The artist is a tough person who is not to be messed with
We leave 'em wishin' upon the moon
The artist and his crew are always one step ahead of their competition
Its that pimp shit that hardcore shit that shit you run from
The artist's style is aggressive and intimidating
See I ain't got time for this superstlye shit I know where I come from
The artist is focused on getting things done - he's not interested in superstition
Around fake hoes talkin' about they keep it real
There are many people who pretend to be trustworthy but are actually fake
Money murder all in my eyes real niggas ride and they don't ask why
For the artist and his crew, making money is important and they are willing to do whatever it takes
