Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I said you don't really wanna go, I can tell
But I'm a take you anyway, what the hell
So come on get on in the ride
And let me take you to the other side
You don't really want to go, I can tell
But I'm a take you anyway, what the hell
So come on get on in the ride
And let me take you to the other side
[Verse 2]
I said inhale, exhale
I heard your clientele is doing well
I see you booming out the STL
Pushin' a five hundred SL
I heard you even got a child now
Look at that
A baby momma and a bow-wow
My **** know you need to calm down
Before county run up in your house
But you don't wanna hear that though
It's too late
Now the feds knocking at your door
You took the bait
They got taps on your mobile phone
They do surveillance all around your home
Now you're pawning everything you own
Calling on your partners for a loan
No more slip and sliding on the chrome
Now your good days have come and gone
I tried to tell you
[Verse 3]
I said you don't really wanna go, I can tell
But I'm a take you anyway, what the hell
So come on get on in the ride
And let me take you to the other side
You don't really want to go, I can tell
But I'm a take you anyway, what the hell
So come on get on in the ride
And let me take you to the other side
[Verse 4]
I say baby girl what's your name?
And tell me what's your claim to fame
Oh I can tell you do your thing
Just by checking out your diamond ring
I see you at the mall every day
Buying Chanelle, Fendi, Donna K
Plus I heard they too your job away
You got your kid's shit on lay away
You got a four five Infinity
You living large
Like your last name was Kennedy
Or El DeBarge
Oh I just can't believe
That you made that money righteously
The kids asking what they mommy do
And why she lock us in our bedroom
I think mommy getting paid to screw
'Cause every night it's a different dude (Damn)
I tried to tell
[Verse 5]
I said you don't really wanna go, I can tell
But I'm a take you anyway, what the hell
So come on get on in the ride
And let me take you to the other side
You don't really want to go, I can tell
But I'm a take you anyway, what the hell
So come on get on in the ride
And let me take you to the other side
[Verse 6]
Little man how old are you?
And tell me, what you doing skipping school?
I see you running with your lil crew
Out there fighting on the red and blue
So now you want to claim gangs
Even heard you bought a thumper man
And that ain't it
You started out with chronic on the brain
Now you're smoking amphetamines
I ain't trying to sell your dreams
Just trying to show you
That's it's other ways of getting cream
Take it from me
Just go to school and make something of
Your young life and watch it blow up
And you ain't got to stop being cool
And you ain't even got to stop flossing fancy jewels
And fast cars
Just keep it real with your game son
And don't forget where you came from
I'm trying to tell you
[Verse 7]
I said you don't really wanna go, I can tell
But I'm a take you anyway, what the hell
So come on get on in the ride
And let me take you to the other side
You don't really want to go, I can tell
But I'm a take you anyway, what the hell
So come on get on in the ride
And let me take you to the other side
I said you don't really wanna go, I can tell
But I'm a take you anyway, what the hell
So come on get on in the ride
And let me take you to the other side
You don't really want to go, I can tell
But I'm a take you anyway, what the hell
