Ride
I Am M.V.P. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been distant, I've been chasing
Something different, that I'm facing
They neglected, they just hate it
Took my heart and they misplaced it
For that pure life, I go cray
Wouldn't leave, needed faith
Need you now, come invade
If I fall would you fall with me
Cuz I've been rolling in a city where you can't trust no more
Know he with me right now but is you still with me you
And we all know what comes with that
And we all know
I put my trust in God cuz he rides for me
Ride for me, you ain't trynna ride for me
Had a lot of pain tried to hide it like a side chick
They gon say I've changed But I've grown you should try
Just another day every day another fight
Trynna pave the way we just really on a wave now trust me this ain't really nothing new
Yea
They still gon call me up when they need something I don't rate that
Tired of lies Just ride with me for real or stay back
Wanna see me fall but like the van I dodged that
They can watch me go trust me they can watch me go
Trust me they can watch me
Wait, who am I
We gon' be alright I'm talking you and I
Quit the politicking this ain't Chanel five
Had to split on em now they looking like the Jordan sign
Wait did that
And You ain't really with me had to fake that
Claiming you a one, but you ain't hit back
But I rather get a check than a text
If I fall would you fall with me
Because I've been rolling in a city where you can't trust no more
Know he with me right now but is you still with me
Is you, yea you
And we all know what comes with that
And we all know
I put my trust in God because he rides for me
Ride for me, you ain't trynna ride for me
Had a lot of pain tried to hide it like a side chick
They gon say I've changed But I've grown you should try




Just another day everyday another fight
Trynna pave the way we been really on a wave now trust me this ain't really nothing new

It is not just Steph. Much respect he is a great player and my favorite. He is a good player at creating his own shots but is also great and the player and has the reputation and season record because of his teammates as well. It is not like the Lakers who only had Kobe. Curry is the best player on the team and is part or the reason they are as good as they are, he leads the team, he gets the team fired up, ect. But it is not just him

Michael Muscarella

Your outa your fucking mind my guy... you sound crazy hahaha 5 years ago.. you still feel the same bud?? Steph changed the entire landscape of the NBA. Not only is he a top 5 player in the game, he should be the new logo.. 3x champ.. 2 time MVP... only unanimous MVP ever. ... but yeah bro you got that.
