You like to ride, uh

So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends


My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends?


Would you like to ride?

I don't know what happened, it's just like


So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends


My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends?




I had that little $$# Nissan at your crib showin' up


Liquor store out of Arbor Mist, we Irish rosed it up

Then we rolled to the movies, you rocked your fake Chloes


You had Gap and Gucci, that's still two Gs




But that's that last year purse like it's still too cheap


Ooh, you so boozy, boo, you could've fooled me


'Cuz five years ago, you was so Fugees

Now you don't want nothin' unless it cost a few Gs





You like the light-skinned Ania, the dark-skinned Aaliyah

The black Jennifer Lopez, a ghetto senorita


You remind me of my Jeep but not no Kia


We can talk on your cell but not Nokia




It be goin' in and out, that's why I barely hear ya


It be goin' in and out like a robbery, ah

I'm tryin' to take this money like Robin Geeda


Then I'ma take you to the house like Trick and Trina




Would you like to ride shotgun in the Escalade?


So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends


My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends?

Like a cloud in our sky, grab your things, let's fly away


So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends


My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends?




Malik Yusef, bet your baby, momma know the name


The most critically acclaimed wordsmith in the game

I give you words, spit with flames


Stay to myself and let nerves mix with lames




Connoisseur of Kama Sutra, do somethin' absurd with your dame

I used to love this girl who loved shoppin' and smokin' herb

But my job was to hustle dro


Now an artist of the spoken word, I just hustle flow

Never a pretty boy, always a beautiful mind like Russell Crowe


Now you in places no cabs'll take you, only the bus'll go



I would love for you and your friends to get with me and my friends


But the problemo is your attitude be on the stank side

And I no longer like you, $#&@ it

Now you can't ride but ooh, wouldn't you like to?




Would you like to ride shotgun in the Escalade?

So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends


My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends?

Like a cloud in our sky, grab your things, let's fly away

My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends?




Deep as the ocean is the motion of life

Thought you would have been the sister I chose for my wife


Not knowin' you was trife, stiflin' a ^!$$%'s growth

All you wanna do is shop at River Oaks



Watch soaps on the couch, take %#@! and smoke


I'm workin' hard like a fiend tryin' to get some dope

Thought my real ^!$$% quotes would make you truer

You ain't gon' let me school ya, at least let me tutor




The sex is good but you ain't a shooter

There's a war goin' on inside, you ain't a trooper

I look through the mirror and see my reflection

It ain't in your direction, so I passed her like a reverend

Returned to my Bishop Juan ways

Goin' wild like West and Kanye



Wherever I lay my is my home

!@%&it, I'm grown

Broke broad, I'ma leave your $$# alone

You still wanna ride though



Would you like to ride shotgun in the Escalade

So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends

My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends?

Like a cloud in our sky, grab your things, let's fly away

So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends

My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends



Would you like to ride shotgun in the Escalade

So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends

My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends?

Like a cloud in our sky, grab your things, let's fly away

So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends

My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends?
