Gotta ride with ′em (ride with 'em)

Ride with ′em, roll with the (woah, woah, woah)

Tell 'em, "Ride with 'em" (ride with ′em)Ride with ′em, woah (woah, woah, woah)

I tell them "Out, check it out" (what?)

Check it out (woah-woah, woah)

Out, we could fight with 'em, we could ride (yeah, uh, yeah)

Done seen some s- within my lifetime, my light shine bright

Protect yo′ energy from poison when the python strike

My first mistake was doin' robberies on NIKEN bikes

Watch my moves and I′ma show you what an icon like

Y'all let bygones be bygones, right?

N-, f- your truce, bust your move

And if that n- touch yo′ shoes, you better blast on him

And on my mama, n-, I'ma get that cash on 'em

Hunnid on the dash on ′em, swerve

Born from the trench, you from the ′burbs

F- the early bird, I'ma get this motherf- chicken

And if a n- ever got a problem

We can f- solve it, on my mama, n-

I just been itchin′ to prove myself

I just pray throughout the struggle, I don't lose myself

G-, no safety, Plaxico, I might shoot myself

They catchin′ bullets like two Odells

And n-, you gon' tell, but listen...

I can tell you ′bout the time I was goin' hard up in the paint

And I can tell you s- that other n- can't, let me tell you

I can tell you ′bout the time I had to drop a n- rank

And I can tell you the s- that I did up off the drank, let me tell you

I can tell you ′bout the time I signed a deal for 20 bands

And used that s- to get my brother out the can, let me tell you

I can tell you 'bout the time I had a penny and a plan

I can tell you s- but you won′t understand, let me tell you

First and foremost, for every door that's opened, a door close

Beat a n-, take his Bordeauxs, upgrade my wardrobe

And Lord knows, livin′ like this, it leads a short road

A dead end, or prison time, where we was headin'

Instead win, I got bread, broke it with bredren

Eyes open, leave the house, move like a veteran

Made a couple dollars from come ups, my n- flexin′

N- got a problem, then I can make some corrections

Okay, cool, still with the same n- since grade school

Give a f- about your Shade Room when I had made room

For everybody on that late moon, the word to Rae Sremm'

Had to bring the motherf- swang on 'em

And I ain′t even wanna have to blink on ′em

That Lam' truck got a full tank on ′em

But, a n- better not look at me wrong

It's certain s- that I can′t say on this song, but let me tell you

I can tell you 'bout the time I was goin′ hard up in the paint

And I can tell you s- that other n- can't, let me tell you

I can tell you 'bout the time I had to drop a n- rank

And I can tell you the s- that I did up off the drank, let me tell you

I can tell you ′bout the time I signed a deal for 20 bands

And used that s- to get my brother out the can, let me tell you

I can tell you ′bout the time I had a penny and a plan

I can tell you s- but you won't understand, let me tell you
