Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You need to know that I'm a rider
Tonight we gonna set the streets on fire
(Major Lazer) Word
Straight up

Outlaw, outlaw, like I hit the PowerBall
Once all eyes is on me, floating off like South Paul
Niggas love to count yours, hopin' that your people fall
Wishing death upon me, but I'm here forevermore
I just get debated on, I just get my greatest on
Saint Laurent on speed dial, I just put the latest on
Bring it on, bring it on, you want more, then bring it on
Set this bitch on fire, nigga, we can have a sing-along

You need to know that I'm a rider
Tonight we gonna set the streets on fire
All I need is a gas and a lighter
And we'll have one hell of a time
You need to know that I'm a rider
Tonight we gonna set the streets on fire
All I need is a gas and a lighter
And we'll have one hell of a time

I got a California king in my condo
Got a motherfuckin' big screen by the front door
Got a guest bedroom filled up with fur coats
Nigga, ain't no room in this bitch to even jump rope
Yeah, the fire and desire and I'm higher than my prior
My attire I acquire might require a Maliah
Whoa, might accept ya and deny ya, no denial
I'll be in the court room on the table screamin', "Rider!"

You need to know that I'm a rider
Tonight we gonna set the streets on fire
All I need is a gas and a lighter
And we'll have one hell of a time
You need to know that I'm a rider
Tonight we gonna set the streets on fire
All I need is a gas and a lighter
And we'll have one hell of a time

Tell them likkle pussy deh nuh violate, violate
21 Outta di clip me fire straight
White line, yellow tape, book your flight, look a date
Send di pussy back to di maker
Whether hell or higher gate, yeah!
Clip big, diss badman, you get a split wig
Split wig undertaker look see what a sick did
West coast, East coast, we love weapons
Bullet through your fuckin' vest left your chest exposed

You need to know that I'm a rider
Tonight we gonna set the streets on fire
All I need is a gas and a lighter
And we'll have one hell of a time
You need to know that I'm a rider
Tonight we gonna set the streets on fire
All I need is a gas and a lighter
And we'll have one hell of a time

All we do is relax, sit back and smoke
We ain't got no job, we goin' from broke
That ain't stoppin' from gettin'
Gettin' inside of ya
Takin' off in our cars
Feel like we in the air screaming

(Street mental, street mental)

You need to know that I'm a rider

You need to know that I'm a rider
Tonight we gonna set the streets on fire
All I need is a gas and a lighter
And we'll have one hell of a time (straight up)

Overall Meaning

The song Night Riders by Travi$ Scott ft. 2 Chainz Pusha T Mad Cobra is a hip-hop track that talks about being a rider, setting the streets on fire, and having a good time. The lyrics embody a sense of rebellion, with the artist talking about being an outlaw and not caring about what others think of them. Through their rhymes, they express their need for freedom and their desire to have a good time.


The first verse starts with Travi$ Scott asserting his identity as a rider and his desire to set the streets on fire. He compares himself to an outlaw, stating that he's like someone who's won the PowerBall. He knows that people are watching him and hoping that he fails, but he's not deterred. Instead, he puts on his best clothes and calls upon his friends to bring it on. He wants to light up the place and create a sing-along that everyone can join in.


The second verse by 2 Chainz talks about the luxurious lifestyle he leads. He has a California king in his condo, a big screen by the front door, and a guest bedroom filled with fur coats. Despite all of this, he still feels the need to assert himself as a rider, higher than his prior self. He's willing to fight for his rights, even if it means going to court. The third verse by Pusha T and Mad Cobra is more aggressive, with the artists talking about dissing their enemies and using violence to handle them.

The NFS 2015 vibes are real. I still play that game to this day and still looks as incredible as when it was first released! Better then the new ones in my opinion!

@Sweet._.Serenade

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!! The fact that it got unwanted hate was unreal

@AquDrIFT

The closest we'll ever get to Underground 3. Tbh the game wasn't bad at all, if it released in 2006 it would've been called one of the best NFS games...

@themythofthefacelessman2180

I woudl agree. The feeling you got playing this game was and is amazing. Some nights when you had an intense race along the tight streets of the city were the best gaming moments of my life. You really got sucked into it like it was your reality but just more awesome
