T-Ride Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are fortune's will
Born guilty as charged, bound up in chains
We get shot
But, boy, you were only blowing out your brains
Cross your fingers and roll your dice
Who will feel today
To hell ya ride
So ride on your rosary
Ashes, ashes
We all fall down
We're hard to kill
Lady luck's by our side, don't waste your time
You can get your piece of pie
But keep your hands off mine
Well, don't give me that righteous rap
And all that "live and let live" crap
Clap your bloody hands
To hell ya ride
Whisper deadly nothings in my ear
Touch me soft with your disease
Bye, bye my chosen one
Bye, bye my love so divine
Come on, get off, 'cause you're glory bound
Gonna fly away to heaven and we'll follow you soon
Hot damn, this is gonna be good
We'll be hanging them high just like a bad boy should
I know that we're right, we got God on our side
No use fussing or fighting, just take a little T-Ride
Ride 'em down and they'll T-Ride
Ride 'em down, to hell T-Ride
Ride 'em down, we'll all T-Ride

The chorus of the song is a call to arms, urging the listener to "ride on your rosary" and embrace the chaos and danger of life. The repeated refrain of "To hell ya ride" reinforces the idea that life is a wild ride that is best approached with reckless abandon.

Overall, the lyrics to "Ride" are dark and intense, capturing the gritty reality of life in a world where danger and excitement lurk around every corner. The song is a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever felt the rush of adrenaline that comes from living on the edge.

We are fortune's will
We are guided by luck and chance
Born guilty as charged, bound up in chains
We were born sinners, trapped in a cycle of wrongdoing
We get shot
We face hardship and pain
But, boy, you were only blowing out your brains

Take chances and hope for the best
We've got your sacrifice
We are willing to make sacrifices for our own gain
Who will feel today
Who will bear the brunt of our actions today?
To hell ya ride

Keep your religion to yourself
Ashes, ashes

We are resilient and strong
Lady luck's by our side, don't waste your time

You can succeed too, but not at our expense
But keep your hands off mine
