Snoop Dog (Featuring The Doors) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house, we're born
Into this world, we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm
There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If you give this man a ride
Sweet family will die
Killer on the road, yeah

Girl, you gotta love your man
Girl, you gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house, we're born
Into this world, we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm

Overall Meaning

Snoop Dogg's remix of The Doors' classic hit 'Riders On The Storm' is both haunting and captivating. The song is about the uncertainty of life and how we are all just 'riders on the storm'. The opening lines allude to the fact that we are all born into this world without much choice or say in the matter. It's like we are thrust into this world, like a dog without a bone, waiting for our time to come.


The song also talks about a killer on the road. The lyrics suggest that this killer is not in a stable mental state and is continuously battling with his thoughts. He is unpredictable, and the only way to be safe is to stay away from him. Snoop Dogg's rap interlude adds to the ominous tone of the song, bringing out the inner darkness that the 'killer on the road' is feeling.


The last portion of the song talks about love being the only constant and dependable thing in this unpredictable world. The song encourages people to love their partners, take their hands, and walk through life together. This message of love is powerful, given the harsh and hopeless context that the song brings to the forefront.

[Intro: Snoop Dogg & Jim Morrison]
Ayo, Jim, man, why don't ya...
Why don't you kick some of that, you know?
You-You know how you do it, man
It's a trip, people don't even believe we're together right now (Wow!)
Bu-, bu-, but tell your story
You know the one I like (Ride, ride, ride)
Say it for me

[Chorus: Jim Morrison & Snoop Dogg]
Riders on the storm
(Ride, ride, ride)
Riders on the storm
(Ride, ride, ride)
Into this house we're born
(Into this house we're born)
Into this world we're thrown
(Into this world we're thrown)
Like a dog without a bone (Woof, woof)
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm (Ride, ride, ride)
There's a killer on the road (Killer, killer, murder, murder, murder)
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
(Holidays, holidays)
Let your children play (C'me here and play)
If you give this man a ride
Sweet family will die (Ride, ride, ride)
Killer on the road (Killer, murder, murder, murder, murder, murder)

[Verse 1: Snoop Dogg]
Goin' off of this, goin' off of that
With the Lizard king bumpin' in the back, how 'bout that?
Driftin', liftin', swiftin' (Let 'em in. let 'em in)
Coastin', testaroastin' (Yeah)
But the wheels won't stop (Won't stop)
200 on the highway, fresh up off the block
He's a rider? (Woo, woo) Naw, he's a killer
Dressed in all black, but his hat says Steeler (Steeler, Steeler)
Pedal to the metal (Metal)
I gotta go hard, drive by and say "hello"
Hey, Fredwreck, you my mello
Now let me hear what I sound like acapella (Shh)
Wow, ride, dip swish
Now bring it back, just like this
Like a dog without his bone
Unlike a G without his chrome
It's hard to imagine
The homie dog in a Jag and he's checkin' for the checkered flagin'
Comin' in first, never in last
'Cause my car too fast (Zoom, zoom)
I never ever run outta gas
'Cause I'm just too clean, I do it upperclass
So fasten your seat belts
It's so hot, it'd even make heat melt (Woo, woo)
So get a board and roll and ride
Slip through the slip and slide

Open up, my back tire smokin' up

And now the police wanna flash their lights (Wuuh, wuuh)
And chase the Dogg all night (Woof!)
But I won't pull over nor give up
'Cause I just don't give a (What?)
