Ride My Tempo
Ida Corr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mama singing my my side
Daddy there standing by
Took a while for I to see
Exactly what your giving me
Now that I'm woman grown making
Heads turn on my own
Ain't nobody who can touch me now
'cause nobody else has got what I've got
Nobody else gonna make it this hot
My words, my rhythm, have you heard what I'm giving
Uh uh you on the dancefloor
Can you ride on my tempo
Uh uh you in the yard
Are we making you sweat
Uh uh up on the pavement
Are you feeling this tempo
Uh uh it ain't hard
We gonna ride it trough the night
So now your feeling my style
Is breaking down for a while
We got you running for miles and I'll tell you why
Taking you for a trip so let you back bone slip
Lick your lip double dip baby moove your hip
Wanna take you away
From the pain let me say everyday
Ain't the same as yesterday
'cause life is gritty and dark in the city
Uh ah what a pitty
Better leave I all behind
Chorus and nobody...
Uh uh...
In the beginning of Ida Corr's song Ride My Tempo, the singer talks about her birth and her parents being there for her. She sings, "Early morn 7 9, I was born on time, Mama singing by my side, Daddy there standing by." She then talks about how it took her a while to realize what her parents were giving her, and now as a woman, she is making heads turn on her own. She declares that nobody can bring her down and nobody can touch her now because she has something that nobody else has. She boasts about her words and rhythm that have listeners hooked.
In the chorus, the singer asks the listeners if they can match her tempo. She sings, "Uh uh you on the dancefloor, can you ride on my tempo? Uh uh you in the yard, are we making you sweat?" She invites everyone to join her and ride her tempo throughout the night, promising to take them away from the pain and monotony of everyday life.
