We Ride
Rihanna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ride, when we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die ('til we die)
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die

It's real late
'Bout a quarter to one
I'm thinking of everything that we've become
And I hate it
I thought we could make it
But I'm ready to dead this
Just wanna forget about it
I saw her pictures
And the letters she sent
You had me thinking
You were out we your friends
I'm so foolish
Play me like I'm stupid
'Cause I thought it was just you and i, oh

Now I look back on the time that we spent and I
See it in my mind playing over and over again
'Cause, boy, right now, you got me breaking down
And I just can't figure out why
But this is what you say (we ride)
Oh

When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die ('til we die)
We used to say
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die

We ride
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die ('til we die)
(But, I remember what you used to say)
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die

Visions in my mind of the day that we met
You showed me things that I'll never forget
Took me swimming in the ocean
You had my head up in the clouds
Made me feel like I'm floating (yeah)
You think I'm playing when you know it's the truth
Nobody else can do it quite like I do
All my kisses (kisses)
And my loving (and my loving)
But ain't nobody better than us, yeah-yeah

Now I look back on the time that we spent and I
See it in my mind playing over and over again
'Cause, boy, right now, you got me breaking down
And I just can't figure out why
You said (we ride)
Mm

When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die ('til we die)
We used to say
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die

We ride
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die ('til we die)
(But, I remember what you used to say)
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die

I guess it's over, indefinitely
But you and I know it's not that easy to let go (to let go)
Of everything (of everything) that we planned
And start all over again, hey
Just blame yourself 'cause you blew it
I won't forget how you do it
My sweet baby, this is where the game ends now
Somehow, wanna believe you and me, we can figure it out (oh-oh)

We ride (yeah)
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die ('til we die)
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die

Don't I make you say, boy
I wish that you could hold me when I'm lonely
When I need someone to talk to, you would phone me
Just like everything you told me
(When we ride we ride it's 'til the day that we die)
Boy, you forgot about the promises you made me
And now we'll let the memories just fade away
But I remember what you used to say
(When we ride, we ride it's 'til the day that we die)

We ride
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die ('til we die)
We used to say
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die

We ride
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die ('til we die)
(But, I remember what you used to say)
When we ride, we ride
It's 'til the day that we die

We ride

Overall Meaning

In the song "We Ride", Rihanna sings about a relationship that has hit a rocky patch. The chorus is a repetition of the phrase "Ride when we ride we ride, it's 'til the day that we die" which suggests that the couple had a plan to stick together through thick and thin, but things have not gone as planned. The opening lines of the song reveal that it is very late, and the singer is reflecting on everything that the couple has become. The singer expresses frustration and disappointment towards their partner, who she feels has not been honest or faithful. She recalls seeing pictures and letters from another person, which made her realize that her partner had not been truthful about the company they had been keeping.


Despite this, the song is not a completely negative depiction of the relationship. Rihanna also sings about the good times the couple had together, remembering the day they met and the joy that they shared in each other's company. This creates a sense of uncertainty and confusion, as the singer tries to reconcile their memories with the current state of the relationship. In the end, the song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer expressing a desire to work things out with her partner and suggesting that they can still figure it out.


Overall, "We Ride" is a deeply personal song that speaks to the emotions that many people feel when a relationship starts to break down.

Line by Line Meaning

Ride when we ride we ride
We stick together through thick and thin


It's 'til the day that we die
Our bond will never break


It's real late
Late at night, when thoughts keep me up


'Bout a quarter to 1
It's almost 1 A.M.


I'm thinking about everything that we've become
Reflecting on our relationship and how far we've come


And I hate it
Feeling upset and frustrated with the current situation


I thought we could make it
Believing that our love was strong enough to overcome anything


But I'm ready to dead this
I'm ready to move on from this relationship


Just wanna forget about it
Trying to erase all memories associated with this person


I saw her pictures
I saw pictures of another woman


And the letters she sent
I read letters that were sent to you by another woman


You had me thinking
You made me believe


You were out with your friends
You were spending time with your friends


I'm so foolish
Feeling foolish for trusting you and your intentions


Play me like I'm stupid
Treating me like I'm naive and easy to deceive


'Cause I thought it was just you and I (oh)
I believed that our relationship was exclusive


Now I look back on the time
Reflecting on our past experiences


That we spent and
The time we shared together


I see it in my mind
Visualizing those memories


Playing over and over again
Reliving those moments


'Cause boy right now
At this moment


You got me breaking down
Causing emotional distress and pain


And I just can't figure out why
Trying to understand why our relationship didn't work out


Visions in my mind
Imagery of our past experiences


Of the day that we met
Thinking back to the day we first met


You showed me things
You exposed me to new experiences and perspectives


That I'll never forget
Memories that will always remain with me


Took me swimming
Took me to the beach to swim


In the ocean
Swimming in the sea


You had my head up in the clouds
You made me feel euphoric


Made me feel like I'm floating (yeah)
Feeling so happy that I feel like I'm floating


You think I'm playing
You believe I'm joking


When you know it's the truth
In reality, what I'm saying is true


Nobody else can do it
No one else can make me feel the way you do


Quite like I do
The unique way you make me feel


All my kisses
All the affection and love I've given you


And my loving
My affection and love for you


But ain't nobody
No one else


Better than us
Our bond and connection is unmatched


I guess it's over
Our relationship has ended


Indefinitely
It's over for an unknown period of time


But you and I know
We both understand


It's not that easy
Moving on is difficult


To let go
Releasing our attachment to one another


Of everything (everything) that we planned
Of all the expectations and goals we had for this relationship


And start all over again
To try again and start anew


Just blame yourself 'cause you blew it
You're responsible for our relationship ending


I won't forget how you do it
I won't forget how you caused our relationship to end


Sweet baby
Term of endearment used for a loved one


This is where the game ends now
Our relationship has come to an end


Somehow wanna believe you and me
Hoping we can still work things out


We can figure it out
We can find a way to make things work


You finna make me say boy
You're making me want to express myself


I wish that you could hold me
I wish you were here to comfort me


When I'm lonely
During times when I'm feeling alone


When I need someone to talk to
When I need someone to confide in


You would phone me
You used to call me


Just like everything you told me
Similar to how you used to reassure me


Boy you forgot about the promises
You didn't keep the commitments you made to me


You made me
You're responsible for my feelings


And now we'll let the memories
Now it's time to let go of the past


Just fade away
The memories will slowly disappear


But I remember
I'll remember


What you used to say
What you used to promise me
