The Ride

DJ Hoppa

Don't hold your breath if you
The fast pace type
I know some folks that lost hope
Damn near half their life
Good ideas is just thoughts if you
Ain't out her moving smart
Find yourself trying to find someone
To crash with at night
I grew up a dreamer but there
Was a shift in my demeanor
Chasing lost souls
I moved to Covington during Katrina
Grandma laughing like "I guess he want
To a be a rap singer"
Family broke and liquor store was open
Turned me into a drinker
For a brief moment I could dig
Deep and feel the change
Then I reappear here
Got me questioning some things
And putting up barriers that
I can't even obtain
What kind of game you got in
Store and how much still remains
(Talk to 'em)
We all human, we all dealing with pain
But I was never taught the truth
I guess it was the lessons for me
I learned fast how depressing
Always stressing could be

So shit I'm out here with my
Head high with some leg room
Trying to get by, come along for the ride
Yeah I'm out here with a clean
Mind and my ten toes down
Get in line and come along for the ride
So shit I'm out here with my
Head high with some leg room
Trying to get by, come along for the ride
Yeah I'm out here with a clean
Mind and my ten toes down
Get in line and come along for the ride

Throw a tantrum and burn
Your brother's location
'Cause you overworked for half of the price
Lost stipulations
Frustrated, plotting on how to
Make a statement praying for South Africa to
Overcome these devastations
Life's a roller coaster ride
Scary when you notice your
Government can't be utilized it's corrupt
You've had enough so you find
Ways to open minds
Finding hope for humankind
We all suffering in ways the
Next man can't see
So shit I twist one, kick back
And stick to the route
If every problem got an answer
We gon' figure this shit out
But I need more than a press release
I been through hell and back and shit
I'm proud of what's left of me
Tried to put me on medication so
I switched up the recipes
It's like I'm passing the test
Life could throw you curveballs and
You could end up next
I just hope you heal from that and
When you start to feel detached
Pace yourself 'cause you gotta embrace
Where you really at

So shit I'm out here with my
Head high with some leg room
Trying to get by, come along for the ride
Yeah I'm out here with a clean
Mind and my ten toes down
Get in line and come along for the ride
So shit I'm out here with my
Head high with some leg room
Trying to get by, come along for the ride
Yeah I'm out here with a clean
Mind and my ten toes down
Get in line and come along for the ride
