The Ride
Meek Mill Song Lyrics

See when I do joints like this?

I do it for the young'un in the ghetto

That you aint gon never hear his story cause he ain't gonna make it to tell it

So you know what's crazy

I went to court the other day, the d.a. say she hate me

How you gonna hate me when me and lou just took 20 racks and put coats on them kids backs?

It's 30 degrees outside

24, how could I ask for more?

I got my deals, gettin' real, I'm makin' cash fo' sure

Stuntin' every chance I get because I had it poor

But every time I go to sleep I hear the devil at my door

And I'm on them paper so them courts are goin' back and forth

Dealin with probation, man they all said I'd be back for sure

Minds is turned to zombies from that raw because it's crack the law

You wonder why them babies runnin' crazy 'stead of clappin' off

Gettin' life before they get pussy

Cause ain't nobody love 'em so they lives get took in

Locked in cages, having fighting over cookies

And much strange, is happy them days ain't never killed 'em

Yea I remember, it was a hot december

Niggas die on top of winter cause them kids need them toys

Well santa claus don't see them boys

Them see the girls around here, there's jack boys down stairs

No man with the big bag just man with the big gat

Try and take your shit back cause he feel the world owe him

And his daughter want a barbie bike for christmas, he gon show up

That the love is there, no mother there

Just her and little brother there

We wash our pain with belvedere and use the drugs they brought us here

We get high to get by

Hotdogs no ribeyes with tears drip from red eyes

Is what ends don't meet the damn lies

The d.a. said she hate me but I don't understand

When I just rocked the show in front of 50.000 fans

I think that bitch racist, she probly in a clash

She take her pain out on me but she probly need a man

I took my mom from public housin', put it in the styx

We came a long way from welfare and gettin wic

That shit just made me hungry

And now we gettin' rich and all these niggas gettin' sick

I know they wanna get me hit cause I'm ballin

Yea, cause I'm ballin

It's like sometimes I always gotta let these type of joints go man, just speakin' to the streets

And bitch said she hate me

I felt some time away about that

Last night we just came out giving 2-300 pair of shoes to the schools

To the girls' and the boys' basketball teams

How you hate me?

You hate me cause I'm doin' I'm supposed to do and I got that money and I'm makin more money than you?

Well, bitch you can hate me for that

Let's get it.
