About Ride

"Let Me Ride" is a 1993 single by rapper and producer Dr. Dre, and the third single from his debut studio album, The Chronic. It experienced moderate success on the charts, until it became a massive hit when Dre won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance for the song during the Grammy Awards of 1994. The chorus is sung by Ruben and Jewell, and Snoop Dogg (then known as Snoop Doggy Dogg) raps the line "Rollin' in my 6-4" and appears in some background vocals. Dr. Dre's lyrics were ghostwritten by RBX; they had originally been written for a different track. Dr. Dre, RBX and Snoop Dogg share songwriting credits for the song. "Let Me Ride"'s chorus involves both a sample and an interpolation of the chorus of the 1976 Parliament song "Mothership Connection (Star Child)", which itself quotes the Negro spiritual "Swing Down Sweet Chariot". "Let Me Ride" also samples James Brown's "Funky Drummer" and Bill Withers's 1973 single "Kissing My Love". The song makes a reference to popular hard rock band Aerosmith in the lyric "and no this ain't Aerosmith!" more »

May the funk be with you, as we toast to the boogie

We should ride out, (smoking that doja)
Roll up, til we all come down (we gettin' over)
Til its over, we gettin' over
Til we all come down (smoking that doja, we gettin' over)
We should ride out (ride, ride)
Roll up (lets roll, roll)
Til we all come down (we gettin' over, over on top of ya)
Its over, we gettin' over
Til we all come down (smoking on that doja, we gettin' over)

Like what my nigga, I don't give a f*ck bout nothing my nigga
You talking bout, without a doubt
In an' out, running out, with an half an ounce
I'm ready for you baby
Come and meet me buy me a candy drippin' old school 80 chevy
Ready, gotti, the biz setter said his name was betty, boom
She lost it when I went into the room
I scene'd, too much of a gangster scene
Then I hit her with the gangsta lean
Doing it the way it supposed to be
We should ride
Doing it the way it supposed to be

We should ride out, (smoking that doja)
Roll up, til we all come down (we gettin' over)
Til its over, we gettin' over
Til we all come down (smoking that doja, we gettin' over)
We should ride out (ride, ride)
Roll up (lets roll, roll)
Til we all come down (we gettin' over, over on top of ya)
Its over, we gettin' over
Til we all come down (smoking on that doja, we gettin' over)

Skip the long, rip the bone slow
Hoppin' and hoppin' in the boo 6'4
Rolling with a bad one, [?]
Behind the ten, president
My residents at your expense, are you a sharp
A new fish or a new jumbo shrimp
Pulling the case ain't no chasin' me, or replacin' me, no lacin' me
I hold up the whole broom, they can see
And the kush is the reason we dank it g'
And spanky beat, in my sack
Where doctor [?] put us right back on fact
Now we can smoke to that, I spoke to cat flat
Bout the other shit connected
Uncle jim's army and we back here protected
The funk bang, never be the same, burning up kush

We should ride out, (smoking that doja)
Roll up, til we all come down (we gettin' over)
Til its over, we gettin' over
Til we all come down (smoking that doja, we gettin' over)
We should ride out (ride, ride)
Roll up (lets roll, roll)
Til we all come down (we gettin' over, over on top of ya)
Its over, we gettin' over
Til we all come down (smoking on that doja, we gettin' over)
