[Verse 1: Canibus]

If you just listen to my lyrics every day for a couple of weeks

My techniques will eventually kill you just like red meat

The Bhagavad Gita beliefs I speak be so deep

Most critics get mad because there's nothing to critique

Whenever I'm rapping or rhyming with irrefutably remarkable timing

I'm like Charlie Chaplin pantomiming

If you John Blaze, or you James Flames

Or you Jack Cremation, I'm Germaine Propane

No pain, no gain in this rap game

For the fortune and fame in order to remain

Most real MC's learn to adapt to the change

Or get washed away like tears in the rain, in the rain y'all

[Chorus: Wyclef Jean, Product G&B, Canibus, Pras​​]

Just ride, just ride, ah just ride, everybody, just ride

Just ride, just ride, ah just ride, everybody, just ride

When you in the streets and you're driving in your V

If you can see what I see, you're prepared for the jackers

Old school, old school

​​​​Everybody got to pack a mac now


[Verse 2: Canibus]

Yo, if you wanna know, how I kick a flow

When I rip a show, with my lyrical, I'm a let you know

It's difficult, cause I'm a part spiritual, part para-physical miracle

And I'm a blackout in a minute too

Spitting like Bone-Thugs like

Nigga, what? I'm finna get a gun and stick em up

Then crush a thug's bones with a chrome slug

The black Cyrano De Bergerac of rap

With the ghetto Anglo-Sax' poetic syntax

In fact, nigga don't even give me dap when I see you

Just don't give me no ice grill eye contact either

When you see me, whiling like Beenie on the speakers

Sim Simma! Who got the fire for my reefa?

[Bridge: Product G&B, Canibus, Pras, Wyclef Jean​​]

You came home from a bid, a nigga was in your crib

And the whole time you thought your girl was celibate

Old school, old school

You locked up and she need some dick

Just ride, ah just ride, ah just ride, everybody, just ride

Just ride in the hood, just ride, all my, uh, ah just ride


[Verse 3: Canibus]

Yo, physically I move at a velocity

That'll break your stopwatch if you clocking me

My concrete jungle is like Jumanji

Iller than what you seen in the cinema

A five-foot-eight nigga

With more horsepower than twelve cylinders

My brain consists of twin Pentium chips

Double the clock speeds of a 586

And nothin about my physical matrix is BASIC

I kick flavor beyond what your tongue is capable of tasting

You'll be so surprised you won't believe your own eyes

It's like a Jamaican seeing the snow for the first time

Rhymes of a sort, that distort space and time

It's like explaining color to a man that was born blind

[Outro: Product G&B, Canibus, Wyclef Jean​​]

Crimes on the street, come from a lack of eating

It's not my cup of tea, but I'll give them the best

Motherfucking best

And if you still out here, I kick yo' ass tomorrow

Old school, old school (c'mon!)

And if you still out here, I kick yo' ass tomorrow

Old school, old school (c'mon y'all)

Fronting like you buying food but you buying crack bottles

Ah just ride, ah just ride

Everybody in the East, just ride

Ah just ride, ah just ride

Everybody in the West, just ride

Ah to the South, down South

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ah just ride
