Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hope ride in that nigga car im tell you that right now
You know he gone take you out
Knowing he gone trip on that shit old bitch ass nigga
I'm tellin' you nigga put the key in
The motherfuckin' ignition let's go
Round you understand me you know what I'm saying
Let's take this motherfucker see what it got under the hood
Ridin' stop all that bullshiting you understand
Stick it to the strip club bitches sitting there makin' that booty
Clap make it sound like a motherfucker standing ovation up in that bitch you understand me
It's like an A-T-M machine you put yo dollar in shit
Come out yeah I put plenty dollars up in the motherfucker
I catch one bitch up in there lookin' last week nigga
I saw one bitch with 5 niggas tattooed on her left ass check
You know that's when a bitch need to make a decision
You know if you love the nigga or you don't love the nigga
I don't mind the names I fuck right past the name you understand me
I them motherfuckin' names turn into 1 long ass sentence
When get to swin' this motherfuckin' pole
On these bitches you understand me you know what im sayin'
My dick is the shit batman motherfuckin' slide down
To change clothes get in the Bat mobile nigga
It's a pole up in this bitch a pole a motherfunckin' pole
A god damn nigga you done burned my hand with that shit
Oh damn we done fuck the nigga Cadillac up nigga get out the car
In T-Pain's song "Take a Ride," the lyrics start with a proclamation that the singer wants to take the car for a spin rather than just sitting in it. They then address a person who is going to take them out, warning that they know he's going to trip. The singer urges the person to put the key in the ignition and start driving around. They suggest they go around and test the car out, rather than just sitting in it. The singer then suggests they go to a strip club, where women are making the sounds of a standing ovation.
Here, the lyrics take a strange turn in that the singer suddenly mentions an ATM machine that they put a dollar into, and about how they've seen a woman with 5 different people's names tattooed on her butt. In the final few lines of the song, they exclaim about a pole being inside someone's car, and how it appears they have burned the car while trying to move it around.
One interpretation of the song is that it is about living life to the fullest and seeking out experiences. The singer is urging the person driving them to take them out and show them the world. The reference to the strip club and the ATM machine could be seen as an acknowledgement of the seedier side of life.
