We bouta, we bouta mmm, we bouta start a riot
We bouta, we bouta mmm, we bouta start a riot
Ooh, I bet you ain't even know
Knock on the door, woah woah woah
Let's start a riot now get on the floor
It's a riot all this love gotta go
Off-White tee drip too cold
Leave our mark but we keepin' the profit
Let's start a riot (hoo), let's start a riot
I'm a giant I feel like Goliath (hoo, skrt)
We going up like a pilot (mama, zoom)
Let's start a riot, let's start a riot (yuh)
Energy I will supply it
Talkin' tough tell 'em be quiet (shh)
Ooh, I am alone
Gettin' this money you know how I roll (roll)
I am the chosen one can't do no wrong (wrong)
Leave you on read you gon' leave me alone ('lone)
She gon' leave me 'lone, oh, oh
And when I pull up the Lamborghini get to skrtin' (skrt)
Nothin' sweet I put the work in, nah (oh)
What you mean (huh)
Feel like Wu-Tang with all this C.R.E.A.M. (huh)
I am the sandman making these dreams
Ain't runnin' on E, I'm runnin' on steam (huh)
Right back at it again
Had to switch it up so they can't have it again (huh)
Got too much money can't have no friends (huh)
Rolled up in a Royce came back in a Benz
With the all black tints (uh huh)
Had to tell her we done, like baby we're through
If you need a break, then that's what you choose
Thug by my lonely, I do what I do
I always get to it, you know how I move
I move like the lion and no I ain't lyin'
I've been in a desert, you don't know what dry is
I've been in a drought, found my way out
Stack so much paper the staples come out, wow
Let's start a riot (hoo), let's start a riot
I'm a giant I feel like Goliath (hoo, skrt)
We going up like a pilot (mama, zoom)
Let's start a riot, let's start a riot (yuh)
Energy I will supply it
Talkin' tough tell 'em be quiet (shh)
All my drip came with the gauze, yeah
Think I'm gon' buy out the mall, yeah
I'm too high I never fall, yeah yeah yeah
If you want feature don't call me
All of you rappers is phony
Think it's your home got the wrong key
808s bang it's gon' cause a lil riot
Everythin' gold I touch just like I'm Midas
This in your soul, you cannot fight it
You ain't a match bruh you cannot strike it
That boy is dim man he cannot light it
That boy is scary jus' go out to hidin'
Wantin' the sauce yeah, come and find it
We is on top so let's start a riot
Ha, I jus' pulled up with the mob man, what it do?
I jus' pulled up with the team man, yeah the crew
All of my brothers is dogs man, we the zoo, aye yuh
Thinkin' that we ain't on top man, here's the proof
In "Riot" by Ex.II, the lyrics focus on the persona's confidence and power as a "real nigga," with a repeated chorus emphasizing that the persona and their crew are not to be messed with. The verses consist of bragging about women, money, and violence, with lines that imply criminal activity such as court dates and cocaine, further adding to the persona's perceived toughness. The chorus about starting a riot serves as a warning to anyone who might cross them or underestimate their power.
The song's lyrics can be interpreted as an expression of rebellion against societal norms and authority, reflecting a larger cultural zeitgeist of hip-hop in general. The persona's emphasis on their realness implies a rejection of the perceived fakeness and phoniness of mainstream society. The repeated chorus of starting a riot suggests a violent response to such oppression or resistance to the status quo.

Damn right they got it, damn right they got it
Acknowledging that they have what it takes to succeed
I say lame niggas be quiet, lame niggas be quiet,
Lame niggas be quiet You in the presence of a real nigga
Not interested in those who aren't on their level
I eat your girl up for breakfast, won't save you no extras
Say she fuck with me cause a real nigga is her preference
Drinking like I'm from Texas, and you know I stay flexin'
And if you don't know I go by tity two necklace
Boasting about his lifestyle and popularity with women
Damn right I got it, damn right I'm bout it
Click full of killers, please don't get us excited
Yea we're smoking loud so lame niggas be quiet
If you fuck with us, we gonna start up a riot
Warning others not to provoke them or they will retaliate with violence
I'm a start a riot, I'm a start a riot
I'm a start a riot, I'm a start a riot
I'm a start a riot, I'm a start a riot
I'm a start a riot, I'm a start a riot
Reiterating their determination to cause chaos and destruction
I ain't stunnin' these niggas, I ain't stunnin' these bitches
2 cigarillos, look like extension
Yeah I'm from the south side, her mouth wide
My pack loud, My gat loud I back out, And click clack pow pow
Court dates Still Trial, My rep is a reptile
Now later, alligators, I step on a work like a step child
Pimp up, hoes down, make your girl pull her clothes down
Her hair down and I'm down
Her phone off so don't dial
Dis right here is dat no style, I don't know how I do the shit
I'm true to this
True religion, they takin' swag with no permission
All year it's Gucci season, Gs on my belt buckle
Cocaine on my left knuckle, kill your barrel what's left of you
Describing their gritty, gangster lifestyle and warning others not to mess with them

@camron brown so? He was in poverty and he was in jail too but he was always philosophical and thoughtful and fought those distractions, he didn’t conform to anything to “make” him. You also had nothing to say about X, shows you talk on things you don’t know, and he’s not talking about their lifestyle, lifestyle doesn’t matter other than what you prefer or were put into.
LAQU
@cgknight calm down, he didn’t start the argument about “uh the rad old schools #lmao bruhz I’m gangzta” grow up, neither is superior, X was fantastic, so was Tupac, E I’ve never indulged into. You couldn’t even spelled and used “lmao”
