Jared Evan, Witt Lowry - The Ride lyrics

They said don't get on this ride
If you ain't tall enough
I think that always bothered us
The box they tried to put us in
I think it's where it started
They never want to see us win
But they can't fuck with all of us
They never want to hear us out
But now it's "Will you follow us?"
Damn, they try to tell me who I am
Y'all don't know yet?
These labels in my email
They beg I suffer a slow death
I did this all with no cheque and no cosign
Last of my kind, I bring the life
The life I see in my mind
Back to the basement
I'm practically begging y'all
To just listen
They took their shots and they're missing
Now who are you kidding
Kissing, Listening to a girl who
Couldn't handle my vision

That's back when I was selling burgers
From a stand for a living was barely living
Feeling bad for whoever can't
Tell the difference
They're saying they wish you well
But to see you fail, they're wishing
The people, they need a voice
So I'll never fail my mission
The ride, I pay for admission
This coast is closer to vivid, so ride

Don't stop the ride cause we'll survive
Put fear aside don't stop the ride
Don't stop the ride cause we'll survive
Put fear aside don't stop the ride
Ride, ride, ride don't stop the ride

They said don't get on this ride
Cause you can't handle it
They're praying I abandon this
I'm taking out you bandit's
A bazooka and a canon bitch
I manifest while everyone around
Us smoking cannabis
Simple minded and lazy will never
Become a fan of his
Follow trends, I will never
Don't mean to diss, I'm just better
I'll never settle for good
Because great is oh so much better
Remember they called me stupid
Said I'll never sell an album i told 'em
I'll spill my soul and let
The world decide the outcome
So how come I thought the college
Route was "Make a difference"?
Thirty-thousand every year and that
Was only just beginning
I see my fucking friends sit at a desk
They think they're winning

Back when I was selling burgers from
A stand for a living was barely living
Feeling bad for whoever can't
Tell the difference
They're saying they wish you well
But to see you fail, they're wishing
The people, they need a voice
So I'll never fail my mission
The ride, I pay for admission
This coast is closer to vivid, so ride

Don't stop the ride cause we'll survive
Put fear aside don't stop the ride
Don't stop the ride cause we'll survive
Put fear aside don't stop the ride
Ride, ride, ride don't stop the ride

They said don't get on this ride
I told 'em "Fuck off"
This ain't my chance to make it
It's ninety-nine percent, you're one off
And all I'm hearing now are
Songs about coke and guns
I don't fucking get it
But y'all don't want to stand
The man has the most sinister message
Suppression my friends a teacher
She had me come teach a lesson
A class of fourth graders
Their favorite song, you can guess it
They're yelling "Trap Queen" and "CoCo"
Don't know the message
And y'all wonder why I'm angry
Well our youth has been infected
Getting pregnant
Glorifying a life that's barely worth living
Don't put me in a box
No I'll never fit your description
They say what makes you different
You paint the picture, so vivid

Back when I was selling burgers from
A stand for a living was barely living
Feeling bad for whoever can't
Tell the difference
They're saying they wish you well
But to see you fail, they're wishing
The people, they need a voice
So I'll never fail my mission
The ride, I pay for admission
This coast is closer to vivid, so ride

Don't stop the ride cause we'll survive
Put fear aside don't stop the ride
Don't stop the ride cause we'll survive
Put fear aside don't stop the ride
Ride, ride, ride don't stop the ride
