[Intro]

To all the lowriders, the big riders

Word up

What happened in the car, yo?

F'real, let a nigga—


[Verse 1]

Brand new truck, butter soft seats

Four-point-something with a low ridin' something

Ain't nothing better than to ride out the hood with it

Who looking better, and damn, you looking good in it

Take a chance with a nigga in the choice ride

Listen to the CDs I play inside

Mos Def, Jay, Prince and Stevie

Marvin Gaye, Led Zeppelin and Biggie

And when the evening is over, love

Gonna find a nice spot for the Rover, love

Do things to make the man in the moon blush

My mind race, but I tell my waist don't rush

You's a upper echelon piece

So when you find there's a stash then you don't freak

You wanna nibble on a nigga ear

And do all the things that make a nigga wanna get near

Oh, I'm a Queens representative

Get wild by any means, my incentive is

When we done, I start it up again

And ride around with you, 'cause you my special friend, uh


[Chorus]

Me and you, I think we should ride

Come on, come on, come on, come on

Don't worry, just come get inside

Come on, come on, come on, come on


[Verse 2]

The second part, my ride is like art

We get creative in it when we take it out and spin it

The backseat is the canvas we painting on

Abstract the word we creating on

The TV's in the back and the dash too

Got miss napkins and bamboo

Don't worry, the tint's passed the legal one

OutKast banging loud in my eardrum

The way the wheels spin cutting through the still wind

Outsiders looking in with the ill grin

Fuel injected, brand new inspected

Emissions got tested, details perfected

Got the Armor All touch, empty out the Dutch

No tobacco spilling on my rug, klutz

Kick off your shoes, show off your pedicure

Shake off the blues, we all for getting more

More of that thing

Stuff that brings ecstasy making you cling

A little harder than your average hug or grab

Lady, tell me this is better than taking a cab

And when you bounce, tell all your girls

You rode around hot-wheeling, drinking, no earl

Vacationing, V up my V8

Just one night we drive and we escape


[Chorus]

Me and you, I think we should ride

Come on, come on, come on, come on

Don't worry, just come get inside

Come on, come on, come on, come on

Me and you, I think we should ride

Come on, come on, come on, come on

Don't worry, just come get inside

Come on, come on, come on, come on
