[Intro]
A'ight
Ugh, yeah
Oh yeah, that's right
Playas
Yeah
Yeah, that's the ticket

[Verse 1: Coolio]
Come on y'all, let's take a ride
Don't you say shit, just get inside
It's time to take your ass on another kind of trip
'Cause you can't have the hop if you don't have the hip
Grab yo' gat with the extra clip
And close yo' eyes and hit the switch
We're going to a place where everybody kick it
Kick it, kick it Yeah, that's the ticket
Ain't no bloodin', ain't no crippin'
Ain't no punk ass n***as set trippin'
Everybody got a stack and it ain't no crack
And it really don't matter if you're white or black
I wanna take you there like the Staple Singers
Put something in the tank, and I know that I can bring ya
If ya can't take the heat, get ya ass out the kitchen
We on a mission
[Chorus]
Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage
Slide, slide slippity slide
I'm hittin' switches on the block in a '65
Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage
Slide, slide hoo ride, ain't no valley low enough or mountain high

[Verse 2: Coolio]
I'm tryin' to find a place where I can live my life and
Maybe eat some steak with my beans and rice
A place where my kids can play outside without livin' in fear of a drive-by
And even if I get away from them drive by killas
I still gotta worry about those snitch ass n***as
I keep on searchin' and I keep on lookin'
But n***as are the same from Watts to Brooklyn
I try to keep my faith in my people
But sometimes my people be actin' like they evil
You don't understand about runnin' with a gang
'Cause you don't gang bang
And you don't have to stand on the corner and slang
'Cause you got your own thang
You can't help me if you can't help yourself
You better make a left

[Chorus]
Come along and ride on a Fantastic Voyage
Slide, slide slippity slide
I do what I do just to survive
(Come along and ride on a Fantastic Voyage)
Slide slide hoo ride, that's why I pack my 45
[Verse 3: Coolio]
Life is a bitch and then you die
Still trying to get a piece of that apple pie
Every game ain't the same 'cause the game still remain
Don't it seem kinda strange ain't a damn thing changed
If you don't work then you don't eat
And only down ass n***as can ride with me
Hop hop hop the 5 quickly down the block
Stay sucker free and keep the busters off your jock
You gotta have heart son if you wanna go
Watch this switch chariot, swing low
Ain't nobody crying, ain't nobody dyin'
Ain't nobody worryin', everybody's tryin'
Nothing from nothin' leaves nothin'
If you wanna have somethin' you better stop frontin'
What you gonna do when the 5 roll by?
You better be ready so you can ride

[Chorus]
Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage
Slide slide slippity slide when you're living in the city it's do or die
Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage
Slide slide hoo ride you better be ready when the 5 roll by

[Post-Chorus]
Just roll along (that's what you do)
Just roll along (that's right)
Just roll along (that's what you do)
Just roll along (that's right)
[Bridge]
To the hood of funk
To the hood of funk
To the hood of funk
To the hood of funk
To the hood of funk
To the hood of funk

[Chorus]
Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage
Slide slide slippity slide when you're living in the city it's do or die
Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage
Slide slide hoo ride you better be ready when the 5 roll by
