Ride With Me
Lloyd Feat. Ja Rule Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody cares
Trouble's like a cancer, you gotta get it early
You don't get it early it gets to big, it kills you
Nobody cares
That's why you gotta cut it out
Nobody cares
Worry about yourself, your family, and people that are important to you
Let me tell you something
When your alone late at night in the bed
Just you and her under the covers
You're only allowed three great women in your life
(Is it better to be loved or feared?)
They come along like the great fighters, once every ten years
Nobody cares (That's a good question
it's nice to be both but it'd be very difficult)
That's it, capeesh
(If I had my choice I'd rather be feared, see fear last longer than love)
Don't forget where you came from
[Beat Begins]
[Irv Gotti talking]
Yeah, hell yeah
I'd like to welcome everybody
Inside the world of Murder I-N-see
And I'd like to introduce to why'all
My nigga, ATL's own huh Lloyd, Lloyd
[Lloyd]
Ladies come step inside with me
To take this ride with me
To see the top of the globe
Courtesy of Murder I-N-see's
Provided privacy
Nobody'll know
Yeah I know I brought the mob with me
'Cause obviously
A lot of niggaz snitch on the low
Just open your eyes
And see all these blind lies he done told
I realize how niggaz fantasize
And the unreal truth gets sold to the youth
While others try to provide their souls to the booth
Fuck that, I'm bustin' back through the roof
Thugs tact or not, hard top or drop
Show em' how to rock and rock and roll and rock
How to breed low cake and open shop
Bringin' everything I know I got
[Chorus]
Ain't no stoppin' what we doin'
Oh, feels like I been waitin' a while
Know it's been a long time comin' so ride
We gon' keep on movin'
It's my time to steer it now
Oh, right here and now
[Lloyd]
Niggaz come and take this ride with me
Break some pies we'll see on the side of the road
Where everyday different bodies decay
Niggaz is rotten in graves gettin' dropped in a hole
Follow me and come ride with this
Hide with and keep your eyes on watchin' for the po's
'Cause they don't know about
Where we be hidin' out better turn up your jets
Headed right there yet, better build up your rep
'Cause my niggaz cash checks from Hollis to the Dec
Holla at me my nigga I gotta good connect
Outbid for the complex, polishin' the Lex
Redbone bagets, French robes is fresh
Love money and sex, the best of the best
When it's all said and done it's your time to invest
You just got to do it for yourself
[Chorus: Lloyd]
[Ja Rule]
Yeah, yo
Look here my lil' nigga, let me talk to you for a minute
I'm a tell you about this business and these cash incentives
About these fake ass bitches and these bitch ass niggaz
How to spot the cowards from the killers
The flowers from the spitters
This industry is all smoke and mirrors
But we in the street niggaz so our focus is to finish niggaz off
How often do we put a nigga on
So you must be the chosen one
Your priority concern is never leave your residence without your gun
'Cause you'd rather be caught with than without one
Trust me I'm like that old gangsta named Lucky
Niggaz know that my hands are dirty but still can't touch me
In this game, if you clean, you can get all the money
When it starts gettin' dirty they look at you funny
'Cause it's "A Bronx Tale" like Calogero and Sonny
And that bus don't stop for everybody, call it
Keep your nose clean fuckin' with addicts and alcoholics
'Cause I'll have us on the bed with some hood bitches from Georgia
That's ATL for you, New York's no different
It's L.A. and Miami that's how they visit
Keep your eyes on these snitches and fraud ass niggaz
They claim to be gangstas as soon as you see em' split em'
It's a cold world, be grateful that the Lord's forgiving
And be happy you ain't dead, sick, or in prison
My nigga
[Lloyd]
Ladies come take this ride with me
Niggaz come take this ride with me
Ladies come take this ride with me
Niggaz come take this ride with me
Ride with me, ride with me
Oh, it's Murder Inc
The song "Ride Wit Me" by Lloyd Feat. Ja Rule is introduced with Irv Gotti talking about the importance of cutting out trouble before it grows like cancer, and focusing on what's important in life: family and loved ones. Lloyd then invites listeners to take a ride with him and see the top of the world courtesy of Murder Inc. He speaks about how he brought the mob with him to protect him from snitches, and encourages listeners to open their eyes and see through the lies they are told by others.
Ja Rule then jumps in and discusses the harsh reality of the music industry, how fake it can be, and how important it is to keep your nose clean and always have a gun with you. He highlights the importance of being careful about who you trust, and how one wrong move can result in being left for dead. The song ends with Lloyd once again inviting listeners to ride with him.
One possible interpretation of the lyrics is that Lloyd and Ja Rule are both cautioning their listeners about the dangers of the world, and encouraging them to be careful and have each other's backs. The ride they offer represents a journey of protection and loyalty that will help them navigate through the dangers of the world.

Here are the ACTUAL Ja Rule lyrics for all you who are sick and tired of everyone else getting them wrong; you’re welcome:
JA RULE VERSE:
Lookie here my little nigga,
Let me talk to you for a minute,
Ima tell you bout’ this business
And these cash incentives,
Bout’ these fake ass bitches
And these bitch ass niggas,
How to spot the cowards from the killers,
The flow is from the spinners,
This industry is all smoke and mirrors,
So we in da street niggas,
So our focus is to finish niggas off,
How often do we put a nigga on,
So you must be the chosen one,
The prodigal son,
And never,
Leave your residence without your gun,
Cos you’d rather be caught with it than without one,
Trust me,
I’m like that old gangsta named Lucky,
Niggas know that my hands are dirty-but still can’t touch me,
In this game if you clean you, can get all the money,
When you start gettin’ dirty
They look at you funny,
Cos it’s a Bronx Tale like Calojero and Sonny,
And that bus don’t stop for everybody that’s callin’,
And keep your nose clean fuckin with addicts and alcoholics,
Cos’ I’ll have us on the binge with some hood bitches from Georgia,
That’s ATL for ya,
New York’s no different,
It’s LA and Miami-that’s hotter to visit,
And keep your eye on these snitches and fraud-ass niggas,
That claim to be gangsters,
And sue as soon as you split ‘em,
It’s a cold world
Be grateful that the Lord’s forgivin’
And be happy that you ain’t dead-or sittin’ in prison
