[00:22.970]Ride to it, ride to it
[00:25.916]Ride to it, ride to it
[00:28.733]Ride to it, ride to it
[00:31.511]Ride to it, ride to it, uh
[00:34.448]Ride to it, ride to it
[00:37.229]Ride to it, ride to it
[00:39.996]Ride to it, ride to it
[00:42.825]Ride to it (Uh)
[00:44.858]Young Jermaine walked the straight and narrow
[00:47.057]Minimum-wage jobs for dinero, but still, my mind was on the zeros
[00:50.830]I fiend for the perks that was seen flippin' birds, so
[00:53.911]We was skippin' church, but my eyes was on the sparrows
[00:56.649]N flippin' pies, spendin' thousands on apparel
[00:59.316]$, I wanna shine too, I want dimes too
[01:02.544]Jealous n wanna know just how my rhymes blew
[01:05.301]Mano y mano, I'm Bono, I'm you times two
[01:08.118]Now I'm bougie, I done outgrew the fountain blue
[01:10.840]But never forgot the spot where I developed my plot
[01:13.675]To dwell at the top, the Ville, where all my skeletons locked
[01:16.475]If I could do it all over, then I never would swap
[01:19.381]I've seen good, I've seen bad, had my melanin mocked
[01:22.231]I've seen lifelong friends turn to devilish opps
[01:25.080]I was Mike in red leather, tryna tell him to stop
[01:27.876]You better beat it 'fore you see the heavy-metal get popped
[01:30.814]He was a mean-a** wing with a hell of a shot
[01:33.483]But if no team draft King, he gon' bet on the block
[01:36.269]He wanna ball 'til he fall or 'til the federals knock
[01:39.110]And sit his a** on a bench for movin' careless with rock
[01:42.097]You can't relate, 'less your father was not around
[01:44.316]And your mother went out and found someone else and then brought them 'round
[01:47.203]And they salaries then combine, when they married, it brought you out
[01:49.972]Of that poverty, then you moved to a soft little part of town
[01:52.752]So that when you back in the hood, you feel awkward about it now (Damn)
[01:57.095]And your confidence start to drown
[01:58.510]But the rappin' gave you some positive thoughts, so you jot 'em down
[02:02.741]You jot 'em down
[02:04.713]Ride to it, ride to it
[02:07.489]Ride to it, ride to it
[02:10.089]Ride to it, ride to it
[02:12.958]Ride to it, ride to it, uh
[02:15.916]Y'all n ain't stoppin' me
[02:18.566]Y'all n ain't stoppin' me
[02:21.591]Y'all n ain't stoppin' me
[02:24.450]Y'all n ain't stoppin' me
[02:27.149]Y'all n ain't stoppin' me
[02:29.954]Y'all n ain't stoppin' me
[02:32.922]Y'all n ain't stoppin' me
[02:37.227]Yeah, uh
[02:38.490]Benjamin Button, Cole flows reverse time
[02:41.122]To find deliveries good as mine, you gotta search primes
[02:44.168]I'm scaling heights higher than birds can perch
[02:46.387]Tryin' to be something, hopin' that peace comes to my cursed mind
[02:49.751]One thing's for sure, that I've matured from my first rhyme
[02:52.452]I learned long ago, you can't please 'em all, and it hurts tryin'
[02:55.390]In this game, where all you've got is your name
[02:58.158]Like Durk, I'm smirkin' at n tryna besmirch mine
[03:00.939]Absurd times, where the fake get toted as wise
[03:03.723]I can see hate in both of your eyes but the third's blind
[03:06.732]So you search lines
[03:08.167]But you struggle, which explains the puzzled look on the dull face as the word finds
[03:12.340]I hate what rap's become, but like do-not-disturb signs
[03:14.958]Can't knock it if I see it's 'bout the dough
[03:17.426]They instigate the f***ery because it's profitable
[03:20.156]But singin' "stop the violence" tunes when dudes in hospitals
[03:23.004]I pulled the plug because I've seen where that was 'bout to go
[03:25.781]They wanted blood, they wanted clicks to make they pockets grow
[03:28.641]They see this fire in my pen and think I'm dodgin' smoke
[03:31.479]I wouldn't have lost a battle, dawg, I woulda lost a bro
[03:34.376]I woulda gained a foe, and all for what? Just to attain some mo'
[03:37.411]Props from strangers that don't got a clue what I been aimin' for?
[03:40.332]Since the age of fourteen, Jermaine is no king
[03:42.733]If that means I gotta dig up dirt and pay the whole team
[03:45.629]Of algorithm-bot n just to sway the whole thing
[03:48.415]On social media, competin' for your favorable memes
[03:51.256]To be considered best or live and rest? The weight of both things
[03:54.114]I understand the thirst of being first that made 'em both swing
[03:56.874]Protecting legacies, so lines got crossed, perhaps regrettably
[03:59.890]My friends went to war, I walked away with all they blood on me
[04:02.768]Now some will discredit me, try wipe away my pedigree
[04:05.515]But please, find a n out that's rappin' this incredibly, uh
[04:08.833]My dawg texted me, I'll share the words he said to me
[04:11.281]"If you refuse to shoot the gun, don't mean the gun ain't deadly," uh
[04:14.418]I guess in that metaphor, hypothetically, the gun is me
[04:18.075]I text him back like, "Guess a gun ain't what I'm tryna be, my n"
[04:21.168]They strip me of my spot, and now I'm finally free, my n
[04:23.927]They say I'm pickin' sides, ayy, don't you lie on me, my n
[04:26.618]Then start another war, ayy, Drake, you'll always be my n
[04:29.675]I ain't ashamed to say you did a lot for me, my n
[04:32.693]F**k all the narratives
[04:34.075]Tappin' back into your magic pen is what's imperative
[04:36.777]Remindin' these folks why we do it, it's not for beefin'
[04:39.453]It's for speakin' our thoughts, pushin' ourselves, reachin' the charts
[04:42.212]Reaching your minds, deep in your heart, screamin' to find
[04:44.954]Emotions to touch, somethin' inside to open you up
[04:48.109]Help you cope with the rough times and $
[04:50.436]I'm sendin' love 'cause we ain't promised $
[04:53.257]My n
