Ride on
Samory-I Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Start up ignition
Fire up the engine
Gas up the pistons
Emissions, emissions
Cold hands are steering
Gut wrenching feeling
Tires set for peeling
We're leaving, we're leaving
Dark cold division
Low light no vision
Idle hands are itching
Risk it, risk it, risk it, risk it, risk it
Play with life the rag doll of time
Throw away your state of sublime
Racing towards that finish line
Blinded by the speed of light
Screeching
Crashing
Your life in the palms of death
Speeding towards your last descent
Whirlwind of adrenaline
Dizzying spiral into abyss
Drift as we slide
Losing eyesight
Slip through the night
Car swerving right
We don't wanna go
5 feet in a hole
Casket of metal
Trynna gain control
Yeah
Gone in a flash
Head hits the dash
More than a scratch
Going too fast
Life cut way too short
Slice open your throat
Mangled flesh disposed
Muscles decomposed
Cracks found down the road
Tires reek of smoke
Roadside burial
Spirits we invoke no
Last ride tonight
Grim reaper wants his prize
Five lives will take flight high
Strap in for your last ride
Fuck that
That ride
Would've crushed our bones, skulls, and eyes
Reckless danger to those that drive
Rest in peace to those who have died




Pray to god it's not your last ride
Cǎonímǎ 草泥馬

Overall Meaning

The song Ride On by Samory-I incorporates a sample from John Legend and will.i.am's song Ride Ride Ride, adding an interesting reggae twist to the original version. The lyrics of this song revolve around the idea of seduction and the power dynamics that come into play in romantic relationships. John Legend's verse starts off by trying to impress a woman who he describes as wearing tight blue jeans and having a long weave. He introduces himself as a legend who looks good and sings well. will.i.am then interjects with a spoken word verse where he mimics a woman called Charice, who corrects John Legend's pronunciation of her name and dismisses him for not being wealthy or trendy enough.


John Legend responds by asserting his dominance and revealing that he owns a truck nearby. He promises to take Charice on a ride if she behaves and compliments him properly. Charice then agrees to meet John Legend at a deli later and they exchange flirtatious banter about their physical chemistry and John Legend's ability to seduce her.


Overall, Ride On is a song about two people using words to assert their dominance and attraction towards each other, revealing the societal expectations and gender stereotypes that often come up in romantic relationships.
