Grits - We Ride lyrics

We ride, we ride Come and get in my vehicle We ride, we ride Ride life and see it through We work all day and we grind all night It's been hard for us Hard for...hard for...hard We came from the bottom, grinding And all we got is this We fought to the bitter end Still all we got is this We work all day and we grind all night It's been hard for us Hard for...hard for...hard I approach the edge of the Earth, looking over the ravine What I wonder if it's offered Write a story like a book that solved it, ending altered How many of us will we boost? We fall at the final stage Got a chapter dedicated to you and your cause, got to find your page Explosive, hey? This success is riches, fame we can't escape from gaining Stretching, straining Is this for Joseph off the plate? Is this entertainment, or it is? Is this the monster you're not sure that remains? My stains hook the ceilings, dealings False are staking their claims We're taking the game Own it 'til you a**ume at the source Loom to be consumed like black folks and their cars The span of land we reach across Man, it's just a brand, a band to pay the way To practice what we preach, it costs Get to know us on the ground we both share Pull me down, and please don't go there If you're crew, then let's get it cracking Now can I get a real loud "Oh yeah"? Want a better, better self-side fast Let us on, better fly right past Reading out the rear-view is a blast Can't hear you - that's some nasty gas We ride, we ride Come and get in my vehicle We ride, we ride Ride life and see it through We work all day and we grind all night It's been hard for us Hard for...hard for...hard We came from the bottom, grinding And all we got is this We fought to the bitter end Still all we got is this We work all day and we grind all night It's been hard for us Hard for...hard for...hard My vocabulary's necessary, embarra**ing adversaries Ordinary never - we're forever on the contrary Visionaries raising every standard, never secondary Living legendary with this message we've been blessed to carry We bypa** craters and blast past haters And destined to outlast the timeline as one of hip-hop's greatest, eternally speaking Seeking the Lord's guidance for reaching the lost Teachers of all, speaking what was written, reaping the costs of life, and that in abundance In every moment murdered and plundered, questioned and wondered Reason we even breathing Cleaving and never leaving Receiving, tasted and seeing Wasted and came believing Addicted, gigging and phening Pawning my past ways to dawn on my last days Commissioned and freed slaved Laughing at open graves With night-vision precision though the black tint and fallacies Finishing first - now don't you wanna ride with me? We ride, we ride Come and get in my vehicle We ride, we ride Ride life and see it through We work all day and we grind all night It's been hard for us Hard for...hard for...hard We came from the bottom, grinding And all we got is this We fought to the bitter end Still all we got is this We work all day and we grind all night It's been hard for us Hard for...hard for...hard Ride, we ride Come and get in my vehicle We ride, we ride Ride life and see it through We work all day and we grind all night It's been hard for us Hard for...hard for...hard We came from the bottom, grinding And all we got is this We fought to the bitter end Still all we got is this We work all day and we grind all night It's been hard for us Hard for...hard for...hard
