[00:19.861] Ride to it, ride to it
[00:25.259] Ride to it, ride to it
[00:28.439] Ride to it, ride to it
[00:31.180] Ride to it, ride to it, uh
[00:34.102] Ride to it, ride to it
[00:36.900] Ride to it, ride to it
[00:39.678] Ride to it, ride to it
[00:42.227] Ride to it (Uh)
[00:44.793] Young Jermaine walked the straight and narrow
[00:46.637] Minimum-wage jobs for dinero, but still, my mind was on the zeros
[00:50.728] I fiend for the perks that was seen flippin' birds, so
[00:53.615] We was skippin' church, but my eyes was on the sparrows
[00:56.350] Niggas flippin' pies, spendin' thousands on apparel
[00:58.968] Shit, I wanna shine too, I want dimes too
[01:02.240] Jealous niggas wanna know just how my rhymes blew
[01:05.011] Mano y mano, I'm Bono, I'm you times two
[01:07.784] Now I'm bougie, I done outgrew the fountain blue
[01:10.591] But never forgot the spot where I developed my plot
[01:13.607] To dwell at the top, the Ville, where all my skeletons locked
[01:16.463] If I could do it all over, then I never would swap
[01:19.241] I've seen good, I've seen bad, had my melanin mocked
[01:21.993] I've seen lifelong friends turn to devilish opps
[01:24.818] I was Mike in red leather, tryna tell him to stop
[01:27.577] You better beat it 'fore you see the heavy-metal get popped
[01:30.442] He was a mean-ass wing with a hell of a shot
[01:33.252] But if no team draft King, he gon' bet on the block
[01:36.189] He wanna ball 'til he fall or 'til the federals knock
[01:38.964] And sit his ass on a bench for movin' careless with rock
[01:41.761] You can't relate, 'less your father was not around
[01:44.087] And your mother went out and found someone else and then brought them 'round
[01:46.906] And they salaries then combine, when they married, it brought you out
[01:49.741] Of that poverty, then you moved to a soft little part of town
[01:52.523] So that when you back in the hood, you feel awkward about it now (Damn)
[01:55.404] And your confidence start to drown
[01:58.304] But the rappin' gave you some positive thoughts, so you jot 'em down
[02:00.966] You jot 'em down
[02:04.103] Ride to it, ride to it
[02:06.950] Ride to it, ride to it
[02:10.009] Ride to it, ride to it
[02:12.952] Ride to it, ride to it, uh
[02:15.572] Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
[02:18.653] Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
[02:21.425] Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
[02:24.176] Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
[02:27.125] Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
[02:29.873] Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
[02:32.862] Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
[02:35.397] Yeah, uh
[02:38.246] Benjamin Button, Cole flows reverse time
[02:40.971] To find deliveries good as mine, you gotta search primes
[02:43.833] I'm scaling heights higher than birds can perch
[02:46.465] Tryin' to be something, hopin' that peace comes to my cursed mind
[02:49.472] One thing's for sure, that I've matured from my first rhyme
[02:52.179] I learned long ago, you can't please 'em all, and it hurts tryin'
[02:55.042] In this game, where all you've got is your name
[02:57.495] Like Durk, I'm smirkin' at niggas tryna besmirch mine
[03:00.694] Absurd times, where the fake get toted as wise
[03:03.589] I can see hate in both of your eyes, but the third's blind
[03:06.415] So you search lines, but you struggle
[03:08.861] Which explains the puzzled look on the dull face as the word finds
[03:12.064] I hate what rap's become, but like do-not-disturb signs
[03:14.863] Can't knock it if I see it's 'bout the dough
[03:16.961] They instigate the ****ery because it's profitable
[03:19.793] But singin' "stop the violence" tunes when dudes in hospitals
[03:22.721] I pulled the plug because I've seen where that was 'bout to go
[03:25.403] They wanted blood, they wanted clicks to make they pockets grow
[03:28.259] They see this fire in my pen and think I'm dodgin' smoke
[03:31.214] I wouldn't have lost a battle, dawg, I woulda lost a bro
[03:33.927] I woulda gained a foe, and all for what? Just to attain some mo'
[03:37.374] Props from strangers that don't got a clue what I been aimin' for?
[03:40.206] Since the age of fourteen, Jermaine is no king
[03:42.570] If that means I gotta dig up dirt and pay the whole team
[03:45.379] Of algorithm-bot niggas just to sway the whole thing
[03:48.135] On social media, competin' for your favorable memes
[03:51.039] To be considered best or live and rest? The weight of both things
[03:53.777] I understand the thirst of being first that made 'em both swing
[03:56.720] Protecting legacies, so lines got crossed, perhaps regrettably
[03:59.942] My friends went to war, I walked away with all they blood on me
[04:02.691] Now some will discredit me, try wipe away my pedigree
[04:05.504] But please, find a nigga out that's rappin' this incredibly, uh
[04:08.604] My dawg texted me, I'll share the words he said to me
[04:11.111] "If you refuse to shoot the gun, don't mean the gun ain't deadly," uh
[04:14.224] I guess in that metaphor, hypothetically, the gun is me
[04:17.419] I text him back like, "Guess a gun ain't what I'm tryna be, my nigga"
[04:20.720] They strip me of my spot, and now I'm finally free, my nigga
[04:23.651] They say I'm pickin' sides, ayy, don't you lie on me, my nigga
[04:26.545] Then start another war, ayy, Drake, you'll always be my nigga
[04:29.284] I ain't ashamed to say you did a lot for me, my nigga
[04:32.185] **** all the narratives
[04:33.547] Tappin' back into your magic pen is what's imperative
[04:36.717] Remindin' these folks why we do it, it's not for beefin'
[04:39.141] It's for speakin' our thoughts, pushin' ourselves, reachin' the charts
[04:42.012] Reaching your minds, keepin' your hearts, creepin' to find
[04:44.633] Emotions to touch, somethin' inside to open you up
[04:47.821] Help you cope with the rough times and shit
[04:50.280] I'm sendin' love 'cause we ain't promised shit
[04:53.071] My nigga
[04:54.605] Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me (Yeah, know that you are loved)
[04:56.727] Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me (Y'all niggas, ooh)
[04:59.450] Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
[05:02.326] Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me (Even if you don't love yourself)
[05:05.144] Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
[05:07.633] Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
[05:11.066] Y'all niggas ain't
