The Parables

Gotta ride with 'em, ride with 'em

Ride with 'em, roll with the, woah, woah, woah

Tell 'em, "Ride with 'em," we could ride with 'em

Ride with 'em, woah, we could, woah, woah, woah

I tell the odd, gotcha, odd, getcha, woo, what

Check it out, n!gga, woah, woah, woah, woah

N!gga, we could fight with 'em, ride

Yeah, uh, yeah

Done seen some sh!t within my lifetime, my light shine bright

Protect your energy from poison when the python strike

My first mistake was doin' robberies on Niken bikes

Watch my moves and I'ma show you what a icon like

Y'all let bygones be bygones, right?

N!gga, f!ck your truce, bust your move

And if that n!gga touch your shoes

You better blast on 'em and on my momma, n!gga

I'ma get that cash on 'em, hunnid on the dash on 'em

Swerve, born from the trench, you from the 'burbs

N!gga, f!ck that early bird, n!gga

I'ma get this motherf!ckin' chicken

And if a n!gga ever got a problem, n!gga

We can f!ckin' solve it, on my mama, n!gga

I just been itchin' to prove myself

I just pray throughout the struggle I don't lose myself

Glock, no safety, Plaxico, I might shoot myself

They catchin' bullets like two Odells, and, n!gga, you gon' tell

But listen

I can tell you 'bout the time was goin' hard up in the paint

And I can tell you sh!t the other n!ggas can't, lemme tell you

I can tell you by the time I had the drop a n!gga rank

And I can tell the sh!t I did up off the drank, lemme tell you

I can tell you 'bout the time I signed a deal for twenty bands

And used that sh!t to get my brother out the can, lemme tell you

I can tell you 'bout the time I had a penny and a plan

I can tell you sh!t, but you won't understand, lemme tell you, n!gga

First and foremost, for every door that's opened, a door close

Beat a n!gga, take his Bordeauxs, upgrade my wardrobe

And Lord knows livin' like this, it leads a short road

A dead end, or prison time, where we was headin'

Instead, when I got bread, broke it with bredren

Eyes open, leave the house, move like a veteran

Made a couple dollars from come ups, my n!ggas flexin'

N!gga got a problem, then I can make some corrections

Okay, cool, still with the same n!ggas since grade school

Give a f!ck about your shade room when I had made room

For everybody on that late moon, and word to Rae Sremm'

Had to bring the motherf!ckin' swang on 'em

I ain't even wanna have to blink on 'em

That Lam' truck got a full tank on 'em

But, a n!gga better not look at me wrong

It's certain sh!t that I can say on this song, but let me tell you, n!gga

I can tell you 'bout the time was goin' hard up in the paint

And I can tell you sh!t the other n!ggas can't, lemme tell you

I can tell you by the time I had the drop a n!gga rank

And I can tell the sh!t I did up off the drank, lemme tell you

I can tell you 'bout the time I signed a deal for twenty bands

And used that sh!t to get my brother out the can, lemme tell you

I can tell you 'bout the time I had a penny and a plan

I can tell you sh!t, but you won't understand, lemme tell you, n!gga
