The Ride

Late night on the block, I was slangin' the rock Had the hammer on cock if you tried taking my stock It only takes one pop if you want it to stop If some bodies gotta drop, I'd rather not I'm living numb to emotion, just coastin' like I'm in slow motion You ain't got a notion of what it is to be in the ocean Red and blue rags flying like flags and held high Crash coming at you from every side and some die A mother cries, a father is gone, revenge is on the rise See it through my eyes, another's demise It's like you're paralyzed, frozen in time, stuck in the mind Walking a path and blind, doing nothing for mankind "Some people tell me that I need help" "Some— some— some— some— some— some—, some people tell me that I need help" "Some— some— some— some— some—, some people tell me that I need help" "Some— some— some— some— some— some— some— some— some pe—" "Some people tell me that I need help" If I could rewind the hands, I don't think I could change Anger and depression, they had me enflamed I was the cause of pain of others and missing my brothers Couldn't bring 'em back as bad as I felt for their mothers Little E, Bird and Stoffer are gone But I could see their faces as I keep pushing along So many years gone by, I could never deny The many tears from my eyes when my homies had died Yeah, I wish they were alive and a part of the vibe But I could feel their presence here as they witness the ride I'm laying back daydreaming and reminiscing with plenty visions Thinking 'bout the many missions, questioning many decisions "Some— some people tell me that I need help" "Some— some— some— some— some— some—, some people tell me that I need help" "Some— some— some— some— some—, some people tell me that I need help" "Some— some— some— some— some— some— some— some— some pe—" "Some people tell me that I need help" "Bring it down" what they tell me when I'm in the venue (Yeah) So let me set the table, ain't no need to see the menu(Nah) I put it on a silver platter, homie, what's the matter? Give you slapper after slapper, fuck a toe-tapper (Fuck that) Smoking out the building, yeah, you got the feeling Came a long way from gangbangin' to rhyme-killing Time heals wounds, you're needing it soon(Come on) 'Cause knowledge could be found in the Temple of Boom Let in settle in better than anything that's ever been Open up the doors and they let you in, you gettin' in Elevation comes with the sound of the drums We all connected no matter where you're hearing it from "Some people tell me that I need help" "Some— some— some— some— some— some—, some people tell me that I need help" "Some— some— some— some— some—, some people tell me that I need help" "Some— some— some— some— some— some— some— some— some pe—" "Some people tell me that I need help" "Some— some— some— some— some—, some people—" "Some— some—, some people—" "Some— some— some— some—, some pe—" "Some—, some pe—" "Some— some—, some people tell me that—, that I need—" "Tell me that—, that I need—, tell me that I need help" "Tell me that—, that I need—, tell me that—, that I need" "Tell me that—, that I—, I—, I—, I need help" "I—, I need—, I—, I—, I need—" "I—, I—, I—, I—, I—, I need help" "I—, I need—, I—, I—, I need—" "I—, I—, I—, I—, I—, I need" "Some people tell me that I need help Some people can fuck off and go to h—"
