[Intro (Kanye West)]
|
You like to ride... (uh)
|
(So "why don't) you and your friends (get with) me and my friends"
|
"(My friends) my friends, my friends, my friends"
|
Would you like to ride?
|
(I don't know what happened, it's just like, heh)
|
"So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends"
|
"My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends"
|

[Kanye West]
|
I had that little ass Nissan at your crib showin' up
|
Liquor store out of Arbor Mist, we Irish Rosed it up
|
Then we rolled to the movies, you rocked your fake Chloes
|
You had Gap and Gucci, that's still two G's
|
But that's that last year purse like it's still too cheap
|
Ooh you so boozy boo you could of fooled me
|
Cuz five years ago you was so Fugees
|
Now you don't want nothin' unless it cost a few G's
|
You like the light-skinned Ania, the dark-skinned Aaliyah
|
The black Jennifer Lopez, a ghetto senorita
|
You remind me of my Jeep but not no Kia
|
We can talk on your cell, but not Nokia
|
It be goin' in and out, that's why I barely hear ya
|
It be goin' in and out like a robbery ah
|
I'm tryin' to +take this money+ like +Robin Geeda+
|
Then I'ma +take you to the house+ like +Trick and Trina+
|
|
[Hook]
|
Would you like to ride shotgun in the Escalade
|
"So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends"
|
"My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends"
|
Like a cloud in our sky, grab your things let's fly away
|
"So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends"
|
"My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends"
|
|
[Malik Yusef]
|
Malik Yusef, bet your baby momma know the name
|
The most critically acclaimed wordsmith in the game
|
I give you words spit with flames
|
Stay to myself and let nerves mix with lames
|
Connoisseur of Kama Sutra, do somethin' absurd with your dame
|
I used to love this girl who loved shoppin' and smokin' herb
|
But my job was to hustle 'dro
|
Now an artist of the spoken word, I just hustle flow
|
Never a preety boy, always a +beautiful mind+ like Russell Crowe
|
Now you in places no cabs'll take you, only the bus'll go
|
I would love for you and your friends to get with me and my friends
|
But the problemo is your attitude be on the stank side
|
And I no longer like you
|
Fuck it, now you can't ride but ooh, wouldn't you like to
|

[Common]
|
Deep as the ocean is the motion of life
|
Thought you would have been the sister I chose for my wife
|
Not knowin' you was trife
|
Stiflin' a nigga's growth
|
All you wanna do is shop at River Oaks
|
Watch soaps on the couch, take shit and smoke
|
I'm workin' hard like a fiend tryin' to get some dope
|
Thought my +real nigga quotes+ would make you truer
|
You ain't gon' let me school ya, at least let me tutor
|
The sex is good, but you ain't a shooter
|
There's a war goin' on inside, you ain't a trooper
|
I look through the mirror and see my reflection
|
It ain't in your direction so I passed her like a reverend
|
Return to my bitch and wine ways goin' wild like West and Kanye
|
Wherever I lay my kufi is my home, goddamnit I'm grown
|
Broke broad I'ma leave your ass alone
|
You still wanna ride though
|
