Ya ya ya ya
You just wanna ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
I don't wanna die, die, die, die, die
You just do the lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
I don't wanna die, die, die, die, die
You just wanna ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
I don't wanna die, die, die, die, die
You just do the lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
I don't wanna die, die, die, die, die
You was so right
I was so damn wrong
The message you saw was a old one
Iโ€™m not playing one of your damn roles
All i see is a big black hole
Itโ€™s the end for me now
I will stop making music now for a while
Why weren't you around when i needed you the most
Why did you left me with a broken heart
Babe i don't know why you play those games
Babe i don't know why you play those games
Babe i don't know why you play those games
You just wanna ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
I don't wanna die, die, die, die, die
You just do the lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
I don't wanna die, die, die, die, die
You just wanna ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
I don't wanna die, die, die, die, die




You just do the lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
I don't wanna die, die, die, die, die

Line by Line Meaning

Check, one two
Testing the equipment before starting the performance


Take care to get what you like
Be careful in choosing what you want in life


Or you will be forced
Otherwise, you will have to settle for what you're given


To like what you get
Without any other option or choice


I flick the switch
Starting the music with an onomatopoeia sound effect


2000 volts of lyrical tricks, yeah
Powerful delivery of creative rhymes with enthusiasm


Discharge hard like lightning quick
Delivering verses rapidly and impressively


And hear the tick, you got it?
Asking the audience if they understand the rhythm


But before you hear the tock
Continuing with the metaphor of a clock ticking


There's a new flex I drop
Introducing a new style or technique in rap


From my frontal lobe
Referring to the brain as the source of creativity


'Til the microphone explodes
Expressing an unstoppable passion for music that is explosive


Love to rock bottom beats for the flicks
Enjoying music with a strong bass that can be used in movies


To hibernate and syncopate
Taking a break and resting while still keeping up with the rhythm


But I'm still in the mix
Continuing to be relevant and involved in the music scene


I'm gonna blow up big,
Determined to be successful and famous


While u still on the bottom of the charts
While others are still not popular and struggling to be recognized


Like a twig, yeah
Comparing their lack of success to a small, fragile wooden stick


It's lonely on the top,
Describing the feeling of being on top as isolating


The champ is here
Proclaiming oneself as the champion of the music scene


For the lyrics I drop
Acknowledging the importance of the words in their music


I pump kinetics, unintential malice
Injecting energy into their music, sometimes without intending to sound aggressive


Wanna battle one of us
Challenging other rappers to compete with them in a rap battle


Is ending up in God's palace
Suggesting that the competition will result in the loser's demise


Back off deadly like black coffee
Comparing their rap style to a strong and bitter drink


Long as I got lungs
As long as they have breath


And a knot you can't stop me
And a passion that cannot be contained or stopped


Back on the track
Returning to the music after a break


Nice and loud
Playing the music with high volume and intensity


The man that kicks in the door
Describing themselves as a force to be reckoned with


My mouth is gonna gun you down
Using words like bullets to defeat opponents


I've never needed pistols before
Emphasizing that they do not rely on weapons to win


You better stick to the floor
Advising others to not engage in a rap battle with them


Join the jams
Inviting others to participate in the music and bring the rhythm together


Right
Ending the song with a confirmation and agreement with what was said
