Ja Rule - ATL Tales/Ride Wit Me lyrics

[Intro: Irv Gotti] Nobody cares... Trouble's like a cancer, you gotta get it early You don't get it early it gets to big, it k**s you Nobody cares... that's why you gotta cut it out Nobody cares, capeesh Worry about yourself, your family, and people that are important to you Let me tell you something... When your alone late at night in the bed Just you and her under the covers You're only allowed three great women in your life (Is it better to be loved or feared?) They come along like the great fighters, once every ten years Nobody cares (That's a good question It's nice to be both but it'd be very difficult) That's it, capeesh (If I had my choice I'd rather be feared, see fear last longer than love) Don't forget where you came from {*beat begins*} Yeah, hell yeah I'd like to welcome everybody Inside the world of Murder I-N-C And I'd like to introduce to y'all My n***a, ATL's own huh Lloyd, Lloyd [Lloyd] Ladies come step inside with me To take this ride with me To see the top of the globe Courtesy of Murder I-N-C's Provided privacy, nobody'll know Yeah I know I brought the mob with me Cause obviously a lot of n***as snitch on the low Just open your eyes, and see all these blind lies he done told I realize how n***as fantasize And the unreal truth gets sold to the youth While others try to provide their souls to the booth f** that, I'm bustin' back through the roof Thugs tact or not, hard top or drop Show em' how to rock and rock and roll and rock How to relocate and open shop Bringin' everything I know I got [Hook: Lloyd] Ain't no stoppin' what we doin' Oh, feels like I been waitin' a while Know it's been a long time comin' so ride We gon' keep on movin' It's my time to steer it now Oh, right here and now [Lloyd] n***as come and take this ride with me Bricks and pies we'll see on the side of the road Where everyday different bodies decay n***as is rotten in graves gettin' dropped in a hole Follow me and come ride with this Hide with and keep your eyes on watchin' for the po's Cause they don't know about Where we be hidin' out better turn up your jets Headed right there yet, better build up your rep Cause my n***as cash checks from Hollis to the Dec Holla at me my n***a I gotta good connect Outbid for the complex, polishin' the Lex Redbone bagets, French robes is fresh Love money and s**, the best of the best When it's all said and done it's your time to invest You just got to do it for yourself [Hook] [Ja Rule] Yeah, yo Look here my lil' n***a, let me talk to you for a minute I'mma tell you about this business and these cash incentives About these fake a** b**hes and these b**h a** n***as How to spot the cowards from the k**ers, the flowers from the spitters This industry is all smoke and mirrors But we in the street n***as so our focus is to finish n***as off How often do we put a n***a on So you must be the chosen one Your priority concern is never leave your residence without your gun Cause you'd rather be caught with than without one Trust me I'm like that old gangsta named Lucky n***as know that my hands are dirty but still can't touch me In this game, if you clean, you can get all the money When it starts gettin' dirty they look at you funny Cause it's "A Bronx Tale" like Calogero and Sonny And that bus don't stop for everybody, call it Keep your nose clean f**in' with addicts and alcoholics Cause I'll have us on the bed with some hood b**hes from Georgia That's ATL for you, New York's no different It's L.A. and Miami that's how they visit Keep your eyes on these snitches and fraud a** n***as They claim to be gangstas as soon as you see em' split em' It's a cold world, be grateful that the Lord's forgiving And be happy you ain't dead, sick, or in prison My n***a [Outro: Lloyd] Ladies come take this ride with me n***as come take this ride with me Ladies come take this ride with me n***as come take this ride with me Ride with me, ride with me Oh, it's Murder INC
