Meek Mill - The Ride lyrics

See when I do joints like these
I do it for the young'en in the ghetto
That you ain't go'n never hear his story
'Cause he ain't gonna make it to tell ya
So you know what's crazy?
I went to court the other day
The DA say she hate me
How you gonna hate me when me
And Lou just took 20 racks
And put coats on them kids back
It's 30 degrees outside

24, how could I ask for more?
I got my deals, it's gettin' real
I'm makin' cash fo' sure
Stuntin' every chance I get
Because I had it poor
But every time I go to sleep I
Hear the devil at my door
And I'm on them papers so them
Courts I'm goin' back and forth
Dealing with probation, man
They all said I'd be back for sure
Mommies turned to zombies from that raw
Because it's crack galore
You wonder why them babies runnin'
Crazy 'steady clappin' off
Gettin' life before they get pussy
Cause ain't nobody love'em so
They lives get took'en locked in cages
Have'em fighting over cookies
And lunch trays
Just happy them days ain't never killed 'em
Yeah, I remember, it was a hot December
Niggas die on top of winter
Cause them kids need them toys
Well, Santa Claus don't see them boys
Or see the girls around here
There's Jack boys down stairs
No man with the big bag
Just man with the big gat
Try and take your shit back cause
He feel the world owe 'em
And his daughter want a
Barbie bike for Christmas
He goin' show her, that the love is there
No mother there
Just her little brother there
We wash our pain with Belvedere
And use the drugs they brung us here
We get high to get by, hot dogs, no ribeyes
With tears drip from red eyes
When ends don't meet the dead lines
The DA said she hate me
But I don't understand
When I just rock the show in front of 50
000 fans i think that bitch racist
She probably in the Klan
She take her pain out on me
But she probably need a man
I took my mom from public housin'
Put her in the sticks
We came a long way from
Welfare and gettin WIC
That shit just made me hungry
And now we gettin' rich
And all these niggas gettin' sick
I know they wanna get me
Hit cause I'm ballin'
Yeah, cause I'm ballin'

It's like sometimes I always gotta let
These type of joints go man
Just speakin' to the streets
That bitch said she hate me
I felt some type of way about that
Last night we just came out giving 2
3 hundred pair of shoes to the schools
To the girls and the boys basketball teams
How you hate me?
You hate me cause I'm doin'
What I'm suppose to do'
And I got that money and I'm
Making more money than you
Well, bitch you can hate me for that
Let's get it
