Jared Evan - The Ride lyrics
[Verse 1: Witt Lowry] 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 f** 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 d**h 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 [Hook: Jared Evan] 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 [Verse 2: Witt Lowry] 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 bandits, a bazooka and a canon b**h 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, cause 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 f**ing 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 [Hook: Jared Evan] 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 [Verse 3: Witt Lowry] They said don't get on this ride, I told 'em "f** 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 f**ing 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 cla** 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 [Hook: Jared Evan] 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
