We Ride For Shady
Obie Trice / Cashis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been ridin' for Shady, Shady
Geah, Ca$his know
Shady Records, the dream team, uh
Sittin' in the back of the, all-gray Acura
Gun to the passenger for actin' tough
Plus I'm on the draw down, quick as fuck
Last move 'fore I give all street shit up
Put a nigga in the ground face down, feet up
This nigga here tried to cuff me for my re-up
When I went to his crib he called police up
Now you on the way to bein' paraplegic
For sendin' messages through bitches like you go see us
Shady, Ca$h king of the dope fiends plus
Give 'em a square mile by blocks and I'm creamed up
Took the bullet out of Obie head, put it in my pistol
And use it, ammunition on the niggaz they hit
Damn, I go to war on the regular man
Cause I'm part of the dream team, you a regular man
Far as rap I don't see no competitors and
You see things like me, with my medal in hand
I'm a state case boy with a federal plan
A hundred in beats, beatin' the shit out skinheads
I'm the spirit of a G bringin' lyrics of the street
I'm Ca$his, a real dope boy on the beat (beat)
Slumped in the seat tucked clutchin' the heat
Basically, you niggaz can't fuck with me, hah
We run this shit, fo'-five on the hip
Out to ride for Shady, yeah
Y'all niggaz ain't hard, y'all niggaz ain't real
Y'all niggaz ain't crazy
Bring it on if you want, you don't know
The homicides that I've done lately
We run this shit, fo'-five on the hip
Out to ride for Shady
Yeah, Trice is back on the Alche' track
With Ca$his, capitalizin' on this mic in fact
We fuckin' with the captain of rap
My nigga with the Nike cap keep the continuity quite exact
So lure your cats into the second classic
We're mature as the number uno aspect, as yet
Who's to pass the driver?
O tries to flow to die fo' and the death blow survive (woo!)
I echo through your external vibe
With internal experiences I've acquired (uhh)
I'm probably the most honest hip-hopper alive
A victim depictin' images from my own eyes (yeah!)
Never livin' through homes, why?
Homie got his own set of cajones, stand up guy
It's Ca$his, O. Tri', rappers we blow by
This is as accurate as the masses will have it, no lie
Nigga!
A-A-A-A-A-A-A-Alchemist

We run this shit, fo'-five on the hip
We're in charge here, carrying guns for protection
Been ridin' for Shady, Shady
We've been loyal to Shady Records for a long time
Sittin' in the back of the, all-gray Acura
I'm in the back seat of a gray Acura
Gun to the passenger for actin' tough
I'm threatening the passenger with a gun for being confrontational
Turn the wheel in the passin', heart of an assassin
I'm driving expertly and fearlessly, like an assassin
Plus I'm on the draw down, quick as fuck
I'm quick to pull out my gun in a dangerous situation
Last move 'fore I give all street shit up
I'm making my last move before I retire from street life
Put a nigga in the ground face down, feet up
I killed someone and buried them face down with their feet up
This nigga here tried to cuff me for my re-up
This guy tried to arrest me for my drug re-up
When I went to his crib he called police up
When I went to his house, he called the police on me
Now you on the way to bein' paraplegic
You're about to be paralyzed from the waist down due to my violent actions
For sendin' messages through bitches like you go see us
You made the mistake of sending messages through unreliable women who will lead me to you
Shady, Ca$h king of the dope fiends plus
We're Shady Records artists who rap about drug deals
Give 'em a square mile by blocks and I'm creamed up
I'm rich from selling drugs and own large amounts of territory
Took the bullet out of Obie head, put it in my pistol
I removed a bullet from Obie Trice's head and used it as ammunition
And use it, ammunition on the niggaz they hit
I used the bullet to kill the people who shot Obie Trice
Damn, I go to war on the regular man
I'm always involved in violent conflicts
Cause I'm part of the dream team, you a regular man
I'm a respected member of the Shady Records team, while you're an ordinary person
Far as rap I don't see no competitors and
In terms of rapping, I don't see anyone as my equal
You see things like me, with my medal in hand
You understand what I'm going through, holding my gun
I'm a state case boy with a federal plan
I have legal troubles but I'm prepared to deal with them
A hundred in beats, beatin' the shit out skinheads
I'm making a lot of money from producing music and physically assaulting racists
I'm the spirit of a G bringin' lyrics of the street
I embody the spirit of a gangster and rap about street life
I'm Ca$his, a real dope boy on the beat (beat)
I'm Ca$his, a genuine drug dealer who also produces music
Slumped in the seat tucked clutchin' the heat
I'm sitting in the car, holding my gun close
Basically, you niggaz can't fuck with me, hah
In short, you guys don't want to mess with me
Y'all niggaz ain't hard, y'all niggaz ain't real
You guys aren't tough or authentic
Y'all niggaz ain't crazy
You guys aren't crazy enough to take on Shady Records
Bring it on if you want, you don't know
You can try to challenge us, but you don't understand the consequences
The homicides that I've done lately
I've recently killed people
Yeah, Trice is back on the Alche' track

We've grown as artists and are at the top of our game
Who's to pass the driver?
Who should be in charge of driving?
O tries to flow to die fo' and the death blow survive (woo!)
Obie Trice's flow is amazing and he's able to survive even the deadliest situations
I echo through your external vibe
My music will resonate with you deeply
With internal experiences I've acquired (uhh)
I'm drawing from personal experiences to write my raps
I'm probably the most honest hip-hopper alive
I'm very truthful in my lyrics, more so than other rappers
A victim depictin' images from my own eyes (yeah!)
I'm telling the story from my point of view
Never livin' through homes, why?
I never lived in a home due to personal circumstances
Homie got his own set of cajones, stand up guy
I'm a brave guy who stands up for himself
This is as accurate as the masses will have it, no lie
This is the best we can do for our fans, and it's true
Nigga!
