Wouldn’t You Like to Ride

Lyrics

[Intro: Phife Dawg, Kanye West, Sonny Charles, Phife Dawg & Kanye West] Would 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? (Uh) Would you like to ride? (Uh) 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?) [Verse 1: Kanye West] I had that little ass Nissan at your crib showin' up Liquor store out of Arbor Mist, we Irish Rose'd it up Then we rolled to the movies, you rocked your fake Chloés 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 bougie, boo, you could have fooled me 'Cause five years ago you was so Fugees ("Ooh-la-la-la") Now you don't want nothin' unless it cost a few G's You like the light-skinned'ed Nia, the dark-skinned Aaliyah The black Jennifer Lopez, a ghetto señorita (Heh) 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 Rob and G. Dep Then I'ma take you to the house like Trick and Trina (Uh) [Chorus: JoVaughn Clark & Phife Dawg] 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 through the 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? [Verse 2: Malik Yusef] Malik Yusef – bet your baby mama know the name The most critically acclaimed wordsmith in the game I give you words, spit with flames Stay to myself and let nerds 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 pretty 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? [Chorus: JoVaughn Clark & Phife Dawg] 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 through the 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? [Verse 3: 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, talk 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 Returned to my Bishop Juan ways, goin' Wild West like 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 [Chorus: JoVaughn Clark & Phife Dawg] 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 through the 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 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 through the 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?
