[Intro: BJ the Chicago Kid]
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo (Ridin', slidin', dip, yeah, dip, slide, ride, ride)
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo (Ridin', slidin', dip, yeah, dip, slide)
[Verse 1: D Smoke]
Uh, I'm ridin', slidin'
Dippin' through the streets at a slow creek
Quota for the week, said we vibin'
'Til we find a sweet lick on a free tip
MC Hammer for the defense, heat by my side
It's barely 7:30 and the sun climbin' over the East side horizon
With suit and tie, I'm headed to the biggest stage I ever engaged in
The classroom, I lead with passion, still, I'm a tyrant
Sped-ed teachin', beatboxin', and beatin' up on these beats
Better students ain't know, got the heat up under the seat
'Cause he traveled through five different hoods between his commute
Light a fire, inspired, and write, record, and repeat
I'll be damned if a hater stop me from doin' the Lord's work
ni**as be bangin' their turf, as if this is your dirt
Me and my heater two polar opposite titans
One of us ain't 'bout nothin', the other one black and violent, but we ridin'
[Chorus: BJ the Chicago Kid & Tobe Nwigwe]
I'm just ridin', tryna find my way again, yes sir
I can't deny it, no-no, no-no (Yeah)
Tryna find my way again (Huh, no)
I'm tryna find my way
[Verse 2: Tobe Nwigwe]
Look, before I got kudos from Dave Chappelle
I copied used clothes, pulled hoes, and gave 'em hell
I was thriftin', spendin' money I didn't have
I was trippin', knew I was gifted
But somehow all the gags that I utilized to get between the thighs left me hollow
Tough to leave those who conceive when you don't follow your creator
But it got greater later, I was in my beta, a chaser of flavors, I could savior my behavior
To be a player was never in my nature
It was nurtured and catered to as favor by neighbors who were fakers of love
That dwelled in the ghetto
And then I met Fat who cracked the code and get all them devils up off me
I can't lie, I resisted
I told her she wasn't the one, she dismissed it
But her persistence led to both of us beautifully vibin'
And my commitment level risin', but low-key, I was just ridin'
[Chorus: BJ the Chicago Kid & Tobe Nwigwe]
Said I'm ridin' (You feel me?), tryna find my way again (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I can't deny it, no-no, no-no
Tryna find my way again, huh
Said I'm tryna find my way, ooh
[Post-Chorus: D Smoke]
Eyes to the sky like I'm supposed to
Only holdin' on to a close few
In the old school with the leather insdes
Let's ride
[Outro: D Smoke]
I'm ridin', slidin'
Never would I thought even when I caught up, there'd still be no arrivin'
Realty, my portfolio buildin' as I'm drivin', I see through the lens of investor
I'm bold with this gang, you can't check us
You're girl with the fame, she can't stretch us
No sir, I got pain on my record
That's stainless, stay dangerous
Can't blame us, the trauma endured
Made me conscious and pure
Still I find myself ridin', slidin'
Dippin' through the streets at a slow creek
Quota for the week, said we vibin'
'Til we find a sweet lick on a free tip
MC Hammer for the defense, heat by my side
It's barely 7:30 and the sun climbin' over the East side horizon
With suit and tie, I'm headed to the biggest stage I ever engaged in
The classroom, I lead with passion, still, I'm a tyrant
