Ridin
Frayser Boy Lyrics

When I was just a lil nigga on the block I had big dreams
As a young person growing up in the neighborhood, I aspired for big things in life.

There was alot of real fellas mobbin with me
There were many individuals in the community who were genuine and authentic that I associated with.

Always felt God punished me alittle harder
I often felt like God was being harder on me compared to others in the neighborhood.

My momma held it down though I didn't have a father
Even though I didn't have a father present in my life, my mother was always there to support me.

I was into greenbrier went to frayser high school
I attended Greenbrier and then later enrolled at Frayser High School.

Staying outta trouble yes I really really tried to
I made significant efforts to avoid getting into trouble or conflicts in the neighborhood.

Turned to the streets cause my momma couldn't teach me
Since my mother couldn't teach me everything I needed to know as a man, I turned to the streets for guidance.

How to be a man the drug dealers had to reach me
Drug dealers in the neighborhood played a significant role in helping me understand what it meant to be a man.

Peeped alotta things in the hood I lost alotta friends
Growing up in the hood, I observed many things that caused me to lose several close friends.

And gained alotta ends then lost them back again
Although I was able to make money at times, I often lost it all again soon after.

Never killed a man but I damn near tried to
I never actually killed anyone, but I came dangerously close to doing so in the past.

Get ya pack hide ya blunts cause then ya gotta ride through
If you have anything valuable or illegal on you, you need to be prepared to ride through the neighborhood to protect yourself.

If it wasn't for paul and juicy j fuckin with me tough
If it wasn't for the support of Paul and Juicy J, I would be struggling to make a living with a traditional 9-5 job.

I'd probably have a 9-5 shit be really rough
Without their support, I would likely be struggling to make ends meet with a normal job.

But it ain't like that I'm in the music industry
Fortunately, I was able to break into the music industry and pursue a career in rap music.

Fuckin with the rap game the past is just a memory
Working in rap music allowed me to move past my difficult past and focus on creating new memories and opportunities.

I ain't never thought one that I'd make an album
I never imagined that I would have the opportunity to create and release an entire album of my own music.

Gone on the Bay had then young niggaz wildin
When I was younger, there was a lot of chaos and wild behavior happening in the neighborhood.

Had a nigga smilin it took alotta hard work
Despite the difficulties I faced, I found joy in the hard work required to make it in the music industry.

To make it in the game didn't know where to start first
When I first started pursuing a rap music career, I didn't know exactly how to get started or what steps to take.

Cuz these streets cold I can tell ya cause I know
Having grown up in a tough neighborhood, I understand firsthand just how harsh the streets and life can be.

Now the only licks I'm hittin if a nigga book a show
The only way I make money now is by booking shows and concerts.

Wouldn't trade it for the world cause its real what I'm doin
Despite the ups and downs of my career, I wouldn't trade it for anything because I know I am living a real and authentic life.

Love spittin this gangsta shit my dreams I'm pursuing
I have a passion for creating and performing gangster rap music, and I will continue to pursue my dreams in the industry.

Ridin, smokin, thinkin, hopin
As I ride around, smoking and reflecting on life, I am filled with hope for the future.
