[Intro: L-Swift and A-Butta]

L-Swift: Yeah, just chilling out. Uh. We gon’ ride to this.  We gon’ ride to this.  We gon’ ride to this. We gon’ ride to this.  Yeah, uh, yo

A-Butta: We gon’ ride to this. We gon’ ride to this. We gon’ ride to this. We gon’ ride to this


[Verse 1: L-Swift]

Come see

The shine I see, valleys and peaks. Natural Elements troops

Rally for weeks, frequent-flyer miles, fly out

To Cali for free, wild out, carry a G

Drive out, ask for the key. Accuracy

I’m zone-coasting in slow-motion

Hold my chrome toast and focus my own notion. Man, I

Know your type roll to the fight, I’ve been through it

Like Dolemite, soldier for life, I been knew it

We’re most influential, y’all get influenced

By prototypes. Stay overnight—I’m bent too, bitch

I’ve been around. When the beef cook and simmer down

I spin around, injure your crown—it’s simple now. Hey, you

Smell that? That’s what I call my traum scent

My bomb hemp’ll get your ass higher than John Glenn. Shit

I’m in the Bronx, bent, man—fuck you expect?

Couple of checks, what’s the deal? We’re stuck in the debt

Breathing, suck in your breath, but, still, hustling left

We came a long way, but there’s still a couple of steps

It’s ill. Run for your TEC, massacre mission

Shit, I add like a mathematician. Word is bond


[Hook: A-Butta]

Do you wanna

Roll to the death with me? Float to your destiny?

Strolling through ecstasy? Then all you gotta do is

Move it from right to left. How much of life is left?

How could you fight your death? And I’ma show you how to

Ride this shit ‘til the wheels fall off. We’re gonna

Ride ‘til the wheels fall off. Word is bond, we’re gonna

Ride this shit ‘til the wheels fall off. We’re gonna

Ride ‘til the wheels fall off


[Verse 2: A-Butta]

Yo, when I die

I die smoking, and when I smoke lye, my eyes

Open like Chinese guys who lie frozen or hoes

Who like scoping, boning in bed. They stay

Moaning, soaking my head, I stay zoning. Sweat

Drip from my neck to the both of her legs

Sex chicks, smoke dro, and blow toast for the bread

Know the ledge like you wouldn’t believe, we burn weed

And speak to the hood, reach levels you couldn’t achieve

Street rebel, but I took to the sea to flow like it

Read your mind like an old psychic, redefine rhymes

And squeeze nines with the same hand I hold mics with

My whole life’s spent like an insane man with no sidekick

Smoke lines, spit multi clips, but what I spit

Should be spinning on multi hits, but all I get

Is a kick in the ass. Spray my trey-deuce

Pray to Jesús and mix liquor with hash


[Hook: A-Butta]

Do you wanna

Roll to the death with me? Float to your destiny?

Strolling through ecstasy? Then all you gotta do is

Move it from right to left. How much of life is left?

How could you fight your death? And I’ma show you how to

Ride this shit ‘til the wheels fall off. We’re gonna

Ride ‘til the wheels fall off. Word is bond, we’re gonna

Ride this shit ‘til the wheels fall off. We’re gonna

Ride ‘til the wheels fall off


[Verse 3: L-Swift]

I got drama for y’all

A twenty bag full of scama for y’all

Ganja for all. I just smoked in Carnegie Hall

Pardon me, y’all. I like smoke and bare-naked ladies

My quotes’ll run through your mind ‘til your ears get a baby

I know this whole year’s been crazy, and the pivot in motion

Deep as the motherfucking Indian Ocean. Swing me

A potion, look at the road my people made

From being kings to standing in court with legal aid

What’s an equal trade? Me going back to my evil days?

Seeking ways to keep moving, and fuck what people say?

Yeah, it’s hard, but it’s easy for some. I smoke weed as it come

I run free in the slum. Approach me with a gun

I hope you’re firing first. You was a liar at birth

So now you lie in a hearse. I heard it’s said your last

Lie is when you lie in the earth and beddy-bye

Deadly vibes spread on the low. Shit, I’m already high, so…


[Hook: A-Butta]

Do you wanna

Roll to the death with me? Float to your destiny?

Strolling through ecstasy? Then all you gotta do is

Move it from right to left. How much of life is left?

How could you fight your death? And I’ma show you how to

Ride this shit ‘til the wheels fall off. We’re gonna

Ride ‘til the wheels fall off. Word is bond, we’re gonna

Ride this shit ‘til the wheels fall off. We’re gonna

Ride ‘til the wheels fall off (We’re gonna ride)
