Take A Ride
Rob 'N' Raz Feat. D-Flex Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take a ride on my side
We'll get by if we try
Take a ride on my side
We'll get by if we try

Now everybody talk about the boom back catch effect
That rhyme's coming back to back
I sittin' often wonderin' 'bout the brothers that was here
And how they disappear
Mind over matter come by with rise of times
Such a hope that you might find
The sores of yo' mind gettin' bigger
Fo' the last time homeboy just put down the trigger

The ride, feel the vibe
Co' we're gonna take a trip on the other side
Don't you know dat the microphone feelin'
Clap your hands if you got that feelin'

It troubles me when I see
I know there's another way things could be

Baby take a ride on my side
We'll get by if we try
Baby take a ride on my side
We'll get by if we try

I sitt'n often wonderin' when I'm groovin' to the rhythm
Was the bonus simply better off of be the mac daddy
Some brothers get paid when they' pushing fat kilo
We all gots to eat that's not on the dealo
But listen, I'm thinkin' about the next generation
Come on my brother let's change the destination
Now you got a rep, wanna collect respect
But you're pullin' on to get you ain't come correct

The ride, feel the vibe
Co' we're gonna take a trip on the other side
Don't you know dat the microphone feelin'
Clap your hands if you got that feelin'

It troubles me when I see
I know there's another way things could be

Baby take a ride on my side
We'll get by if we try




Baby take a ride on my side
We'll get by if we try

Yo creo que “Levitating” de Dua Lipa se inspiró en este tema, es muy similar!
