Ride on
Snowgoons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Uplift your mind"
"Survival got me bugging but I'm alive"
- Wu Tang Clan 'CREAM'

I just touched Berlin, I'm in so soon
Yeah from LAX i connect with Snowgoons
I call CB up the Porsche is so blue
When I hunted in the streets
Screaming "Polizei Fuck you"
Shyster, some are real good but I'm nicer
I'm really from these streets of LA
A live wire the cost of living is murdering
The future of the children
The music for me, I keep giving
Some brothers get shot every day in LA
People getting jacked or crack
Takes 'em away the streets are fucked
Some people's luck just runs out
Bank card fraud take all these funds out
I think I need a drink and
A blunt to get away
Every time I watch the news
Soldiers get blown away
Every time I watch the news
More lives get thrown away
Every time every headline "The
World's a cold place"

"Tax is flying, people dying
Somebody tell everything's fine, ride on"
"Days of my life in LA"
- Defari 'Behold My Life'
"I look at the sunset light and blunt
And say" - Defari 'Behold My Life'
"Tax is flying, people dying
Somebody tell everything's fine, ride on"
"Survival got me buggin' but I'm alive"

I got wise then I opened my eyes
I analyzed that you telling me
Embellish stinkin' lyrical felonies
And I seldom leave typical melodies
Got this gangsta rap on it
You never murk your nigga then flaunt it
It's on par for a chucky
Ruling y'all and big poppa shot ya
Early departure, street gotcha
Pourin' vodka on the Bourbon
Get blocked off
Your name's on the chalkboard
Unsolved murder by drug lords
Concorde call my Chambord
While Snowgoons tours
Before they grounded that
Still while I found you at
The upscale, take a cut of the retail
Pre-sales, money, nigga, weed and females

"Tax is flying, people dying
Somebody tell everything's fine, ride on"
"Days of my life in LA"
- Defari 'Behold My Life'
"I look at the sunset light and blunt
And say" - Defari 'Behold My Life'
"Tax is flying, people dying
Somebody tell everything's fine, ride on"
"Survival got me buggin' but I'm alive"

Welcome to the bean where the greens rep
Be fitted with the lean and the mean step
Let them breathe
Stretch and I'll chop the beat techs
Getting chronic from Columbians and T-Neck
So now my team set no time for recess (nope)
It's all about that money and that respect
Never does I be stressed
We fly like cheap sex
Interjects with the vests, about three tecs
What's to eat next
The shoot's a mere reflex
From high up off the rubbles
Those some die hard knuckles
That'll drive up fuckin'
Better rise up fuck it
Don't you know the buries
Where they bury niggas often, it's a coffin
Home of the Larry Bird
Fears where the rest is
Listen, before I'm done I've
Got one suggestion
Take a ride through the Bean, avoid hook shot
And I'mma show ya ass how to mix a good plot

"Tax is flying, people dying
Somebody tell everything's fine, ride on"
"Days of my life in LA"
- Defari 'Behold My Life'
"I look at the sunset light and blunt
And say" - Defari 'Behold My Life'
"Tax is flying, people dying
Somebody tell everything's fine, ride on"
"Survival got me buggin' but I'm alive"
