On a Ride
[Intro]
Yeah
South side, sea side
Yeah

[Hook]
Nobody told me how to make it in my life
But I been on a ride
With the realest ones around me yeah they keepin‘ me alive
Now here‘s one thing 'fore I die
I hope Mama never cries
Cause on the road I‘m here performin‘ with a smile, yeah
That‘s why I‘m comin‘ home at night
I love the fact they point at me with all the lights
And that‘s the reason I be workin‘ all night
Call it wrong but you gotta hear the song
And I‘m alright, yeah

[Verse]
That’s why I keep asking "Mama did you hear the track?" (Mama)
It‘s dedicated to the fam, you know that‘s a fact
Smoked a whole pack back in the 5
Tried to figure out a path I be goin‘ in my life
I was going for a dive in the dump
Bad times but I jumped right back on a mf song
You know I gotta carry on
Yeah I‘m gonna make it home
Right now I gotta carry on
But I‘m coming back home
Yeah, Daddy tried to tell me how to do it (How to do it)
He had a job and don‘t really wanna lose it (No)
Yeah, cause he got a kid and a kid and another one
Funny thing is one of em is dreamin‘ like the other one (One)
He talks from a perspective where the dreams were here to motivate
As soon you‘re motivated they gave you an expiration date
They told you when it‘s due and in exchange they‘ll have a new
Cause the one that‘s comin‘ after you ain‘t got a dream too, true
Don‘t let em tell you what to do
There‘s way too many things about this life that you ain‘t knew
And maybe that‘s the reason they don‘t get what I am sayin‘
I been dreamin‘ all life and I have never stopped prayin‘
And I never stopped playin‘ for the game
Yeah they gon‘ call my name
One day, I‘ll let it rain
For the homies and the fam that‘s still livin‘ in the pain
(For the homies and the fam)
Yeah, for the homies and the fam I‘ll let it rain yeah

[Hook]
But I been on a ride
With the realest ones around me yeah they keepin‘ me alive
Now here‘s one thing 'fore I die
I hope Mama never cries
Cause on the road I‘m here performin‘ with a smile, yeah
That‘s why I‘m comin‘ home at night
I love the fact they point at me with all the lights
And that‘s the reason I be workin‘ all night
Call it wrong but you gotta hear the song
And I‘m alright, yeah

[Bridge]
(It all be over, it all be over)
(It all be over)
It‘ll be over when I say so
(It all be over)
Yeah

[Hook 2]
And when it‘s over I be on the other side
See me on the ride
All my sorrows gone man there ain‘t no thing to hide
I‘m about to live my life
And when our sun is on the rise
I pray to god, he‘ll be keeping me alive, yeah
And when I know about it all
I‘ll be waiting I know someone‘s gonna call
Yeah, maybe I be starrin‘ at the wall
Painting pictures for the singles, I might go and get a hall
When it‘s over

[Bridge]
(It all be over, it all be over)

[Outro]
But I been on a ride
With the realest ones around me yeah they keepin‘ me alive
Now here‘s one thing 'fore I die
I hope Mama never cries
Cause on the road I‘m here performin‘ with a smile
That‘s why I‘m comin‘ home at night
I love the fact they point at me with all the lights
And that‘s the reason I be workin‘ all night
Call it wrong but you gotta hear the song
And I‘m alright
