Ride
Jay-Z Lana Del Rey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

When it first started you never thought
You’d be cryin your eyes out endless thoughts
Confused and tired of tryin denyin the stories and lies that he actually brought
He said he wasn’t like the rest
Baby girl you have your best
But in the end he was cruisin to bruise you
Didn’t plan on stayin the games kept playin
Took your trust and then just used you
Didn’t care if you hurt then just played through
Then tried to fix everything with an oh so simple you know I love you
And you fell for it every time
Every single song every rhyme
But every sad story ends on time
Come with me baby take a ride
Babygirl your only stuck
If you wanna be
Why don’t you drop your walls
Come and take a ride with me
Baby let heal your faith let me prove to you
That not all talk is cheap
I’ll keep my word to you
Babygirl your only stuck
If you wanna be
Why don’t you drop your walls
Come and take a ride with me
Baby let heal your faith let me prove to you
That not all talk is cheap
I’ll keep my word to you
Why do you stay with him
Is it cause your afraid that you’ll never love again
Or is it cause he made you feel like you wasn’t good enough to love a friend
Can you look in the mirror and see
See who that girl use to be
Or do you see somebody different every time he cheats and pushes you past your limits
No more minutes
No more gimmicks
Open your eyes girl and clearly see
The beautiful girl you was meant to be
Shining bright like this MC
This is your pass girl no entry fee
No hidden secrets no blasphemy
Come talk with me just confide
Hop in the car come take a ride
Babygirl your only stuck
If you wanna be
Why don’t you drop your walls
Come and take a ride with me
Baby let heal your faith let me prove to you
That not all talk is cheap
I’ll keep my word to you
Babygirl your only stuck
If you wanna be
Why don’t you drop your walls
Come and take a ride with me
Baby let heal your faith let me prove to you
That not all talk is cheap
I’ll keep my word to you
At the end there’s always a bright light
Babygirl you just gota fight right
Keep you head to the sky just like mike
Gota face your fears with pure might
It’s time to do what’s best for you
Not what your friends or family say
Your in control of your life
Whether or not your skies shine or they grey
Know your worth cause you don’t gota stay
Grab your stuff pack your bags today
And you can leave all your negative thoughts
All out and thrown in the driveway
No need to be scared or hide
Know your good enough to be a bride
Close your eyes take a sigh
Lean your chair back and enjoy the ride.
Babygirl your only stuck
If you wanna be
Why don’t you drop your walls
Come and take a ride with me
Baby let heal your faith let me prove to you
That not all talk is cheap
I’ll keep my word to you
Babygirl your only stuck
If you wanna be
Why don’t you drop your walls
Come and take a ride with me
Baby let heal your faith let me prove to you




That not all talk is cheap
I’ll keep my word to you
