Ride On - Anthony David

Little boy, raised in the ghetto, had a mind and a passion for game

Gifted gab, man, could he talk it, he could sell umbrellas to rain

Combined with the 'bility to throw them hands, man, what a wonderful thing

They talked about him on the west side, they heard about on the south side

Comin' up, no father figure made it up, pressed his way on his own

Bad child, mama can’t contain him always on the wrong side of the law

Clinked up, linked up with a code of conduct, never known before

Somebody’s showin' him the way now, this is where he’s oonna stay now

Ridin' on my horse, it’s the life for me

Blowin' with the wind, it’s the only time I’m free

Me and my brothers, the ones I call family

We ride on, we ride on

Ride on, soldier, earn yo' keep

Off the porch of these one percenters, hustlin is how we eat

You got to peep these streets for all it’s rewards and riches

But remember the code, young hustler, snitches get stitches

Rock bottom, tied up by the crime, baby girl barely knows his name

Man up, can’t blame the system, when you know that it’s part of the game

You got to use all your gifts you’ve been given at the end of the day

This is the wisdom of the old man, these are the lessons that they told him

Comin' home made the decision, to never come back again

Hard times, every day struggle, but he stay determined to win

The only way he stayed up was the times he could stay in the wind

Gotta leave it all behind, so he’s clearin' out his mind now

Ridin' on my horse, it’s the life for me

Blowin' with the wind, it’s the only time I’m free

Me and my brothers, the ones I call family

We ride on, we ride on

(Ay!) We on the road like

(Ay!) Switchin' lanes like

(Ay!) In the wind like

(Ay!) Pullin' up like

(Ay!) Turn up like

(Ay!) Red cup like

(Ay!) Zoom with it like

(Ay!)

Now the story’s been told, this game is so damn cold

Lace yo' boots stack ten toes

Keep yo' face card good, stay on yo' grind

Ride 'til the wheels fall off

Ridin' on my horse, it’s the life for me

Blowin' with the wind, it’s the only time I’m free

Me and my brothers, the ones I call family

We ride on, we ride on
