Yeah, I'm rollin' with Roc-A-Fella, man
'Cause they got money, man
'Hovah, yeah, Stevie J, n****
Y'all ready? Yo, yo

How many y'all wanna ride tonight?
How many y'all down to die tonight?
How many y'all wanna ride tonight?
N****, ride or die or ride or die

How many y'all wanna ride tonight?
How many y'all down to die tonight?
How many y'all wanna ride tonight?
N****, ride or die or ride or die, n****

How many y'all wanna ride tonight?
How many y'all down to die tonight?
How many y'all wanna ride tonight?
Ride or die or ride or die

Ayo, f*** y'all n****s, I crush y'all, rush y'all
With the four drawn an' I touch y'all, plus y'all
Little motherf***ers ain't ready for war
I seen your team in a crisis before, thought I forgot?

The same rules apply, don't try to switch up your style
Y'all n****s is pumpkin pie an' that's plain as I
Much better than you, cat, shocked when I got the news that
This n**** ready for war, well, where that fool at?

I bruise wack rap n****s, severely punish them
Especially those that get f***ed for they publishing
Always gotta be the weakest n**** out the crew
I probably make more money off yo' album than you

You see the respect I get every time I come through
Check your own videos, you'll always be number two
N****s talkin' real greasy on them are 'n' be records
But I'm platinum a million times, n****, check the credits

S Carter, ghost writer an' for the right price
I can even make yo' s*** tighter
I roast n****s like ya, smoke n****s like ya
Take your little jewels an' put the toast to n****s like ya

You know what the f*** we do an' why we done it
How I bring it to n****s, who probably want it
Keep playin', you gon' find me in your lobby blunted
An' I don't even smoke, n****, ain't no joke

N****s cat fightin' with Jigga, kickin' sneaky s***
Makin' little tapes but keepin' it secret
'Cause I kick that deep s*** that divide your peeps s***
Now I don't know if you f***in' with Jigga
Spittin' that weak s***, y'all

How many y'all wanna ride tonight?
How many y'all down to die tonight?
How many y'all wanna ride tonight?
N****, ride or die or ride or die?

How many y'all wanna ride tonight?
How many y'all down to die tonight?
How many y'all wanna ride tonight?
Ride or die or ride or die

N****s don't want it with Jig 'cause somethin' got to give
I got homes where you hide, I hustle where you live
Jigga's the don, b****es scream "Jigga, dandy
Dick is the bomb, about as thick as a arm"

Mr. Exxon, gas 'em with the wit an' the charm
B****, I'm tryin' to tell you like Nicholas Bond
I'm a big cat, listen, mami, can you dig that?
Cars, jewelry, homes, I did that

Oh shootouts, ki's, I live that
Actresses, models, chickenheads, hit that
I get stacks an' still I kick back
An' run up on n****s with the Midac, where the s*** at?

How many y'all wanna ride tonight?
How many y'all down to die tonight?
How many y'all wanna ride tonight?
Ride or die or ride or die

How many y'all wanna ride tonight?
How many y'all down to die tonight?
How many y'all wanna ride tonight?
N****, ride or die or ride or die

Time to separate the platinum from the white gold
Right from the door
The real from the fake, ready rock from the raw
The boss from the runners, cats who ride dick
From the cats with the numbers, the five from the six

I got cop an' crash money, pop the dash money
Press the button, all of a sudden, glock in the stash money
Beef with Jigga? Watch yo' a**, money
It's El Presidente, top brass money

Now I don't flash the steel, I blast for real
My motto 'You only good as the last n**** you kill'
I'm here to snatch this meal, n****, that's for real
If you rollin' with me, grab the wheel, let's ride

How many y'all wanna ride tonight?
How many y'all down to die tonight?
How many y'all wanna ride tonight?
N****, ride or die or ride or die

How many y'all wanna ride tonight?
How many y'all down to die tonight?
How many y'all wanna ride tonight?
Ride or die or ride or die

How many y'all wanna ride tonight?
How many y'all down to die tonight?
How many y'all wanna ride tonight?
N****, ride or die or ride or die
