(Yeah, ayy, huh, ayy)

Ridin' with that .40, ridin' with that .40 with a beam, huh, yeah
Dollar signs all I see
If it ain't 'bout the money, I ain't worried 'bout it, yeah
If it ain't 'bout the money, huh, ayy
Ridin' with that .40, ridin' with that .40 with a beam, huh, yeah
Dollar signs all I see
If it ain't 'bout the money, I ain't worried 'bout it, yeah
If it ain't 'bout the money

Hmm, I'm on the beach with my feet up, ayy
Everybody say I'm switchin', I don't speak up, no, hmm, ayy
I just turn my speakers up, hmm, ayy
I just turn my speakers up, huh
I'm movin' on just like my lease was up, ayy
And I'm still poppin' these Percs, lil' bitch, I'm geekin' up, huh
I might fuck that lil' hoe if she freakin' though, ayy
Then I have a new bitch 'fore the week was up, ayy

Ridin' with that .40, ridin' with that .40 with a beam, huh, yeah
Dollar signs all I see
If it ain't 'bout the money, I ain't worried 'bout it, yeah
If it ain't 'bout the money, huh, ayy
Ridin' with that .40, ridin' with that .40 with a beam, huh, yeah
Dollar signs all I see
If it ain't 'bout the money, I ain't worried 'bout it, yeah
If it ain't 'bout the money (yeah, ayy, ayy)

Now I come for that money, I got that green, yeah
I'm gunning for that cheese, yeah, that cheese, yeah
I run out with ya honey, she out of me, yeah
She wanna stay the week, I make her leave now, ayy
Get high, yeah, on the west side, yeah
On my life, yeah, think that I'ma die here
I put some money off to the side, yeah
Take a ride with me, yeah

Ridin' with that .40, ridin' with that .40 with a beam, huh, yeah
Dollar signs all I see
If it ain't 'bout the money, I ain't worried 'bout it, yeah
If it ain't 'bout the money, huh, ayy
Ridin' with that .40, ridin' with that .40 with a beam, huh, yeah
Dollar signs all I see
If it ain't 'bout the money, I ain't worried 'bout it, yeah (ayy)
If it ain't 'bout the money (ayy, gang)

(Grra!) One day they caught me loafin'
After droppin' off my bitch (droppin' off my bitch)
They sent a couple shots
But I'm just glad that nigga missed (on the gang, nigga)
Ducked down and started clapping
Tried to flip that hoe, whip (grra, pow, pow, pow)
But I would rather take a life
Before my my mama see me stiff (ayy, that's on my mama)
So I'm clutchin' on that .44 when I'm trippin' (ayy, grra, pow, pow, pow)
Trey paralyzed but I'm just glad that nigga livin'
(Ayy, I'm just glad that nigga livin')
Please don't come to me when that nigga granny end up missin'
(When that nigga end up missin')
I was coolin' out in Cali, workin', bitch, I was gettin' it
(Workin', bitch, I was gettin' it, huh)

Ridin' with that .40, ridin' with that .40 with a beam, huh, yeah
Dollar signs all I see
If it ain't 'bout the money, I ain't worried 'bout it, yeah
If it ain't 'bout the money, huh, ayy
Ridin' with that .40, ridin' with that .40 with a beam, huh, yeah
Dollar signs all I see




If it ain't 'bout the money, I ain't worried 'bout it, yeah
If it ain't 'bout the money

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Yung Bans's song "Ridin in 2-3" reveal a few different themes. The first and most prominent theme is money - the artist is all about the dollar signs and isn't worried about anything that isn't directly related to making money. The second theme is violence, with the artist rapping about riding around with a .40 (likely a .40 caliber gun) with a beam. The third theme is drugs, with mentions of popping Percs and getting high on the west side.


The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the track. Yung Bans raps, "Ridin' with that .40, ridin' with that .40 with a beam, huh, yeah/Dollar signs all I see/If it ain't 'bout the money, I ain't worried 'bout it, yeah." The repetition of the "ridin' with that .40" line emphasizes the artist's obsession with violence and the power that comes with it. The line "dollar signs all I see" reinforces the importance of money in Yung Bans's worldview, while the second line of the chorus establishes the song's central thesis: if it's not about money, he's not interested.


The second verse contains some of the more interesting lyrical moments in the song. On one hand, the lines "I'm movin' on just like my lease was up" and "Then I have a new bitch 'fore the week was up" suggest a kind of playboy, hustler lifestyle that Yung Bans is living. On the other hand, the lines "And I'm still poppin' these Percs, lil' bitch, I'm geekin' up" and "get high, yeah, on the west side, yeah" hint at the darker, more dangerous side of this lifestyle.


Overall, "Ridin in 2-3" is a complex and layered track that touches on themes of money, violence, and drug use. While the subject matter may be controversial, it is hard to deny the skill and charisma that Yung Bans brings to his delivery.
