[intro (kanye west)]
You like to ride... (uh)
(so "why don't) you and your friends (get with) me and my friends"
"(my friends) my friends, my friends, my friends"
Would you like to ride?
(i don't know what happened, it's just like, heh)
"so why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends"
"my friends, my friends, my friends, my friends"

[kanye west]
I had that little ass nissan at your crib showin' up
Liquor store out of arbor mist, we irish rosed it up
Then we rolled to the movies, you rocked your fake chloes
You had gap and gucci, that's still two g's
But that's that last year purse like it's still too cheap
Ooh you so boozy boo you could of fooled me
Cuz five years ago you was so fugees
Now you don't want nothin' unless it cost a few g's
You like the light-skinned ania, the dark-skinned aaliyah
The black jennifer lopez, a ghetto senorita
You remind me of my jeep but not no kia
We can talk on your cell, but not nokia
It be goin' in and out, that's why i barely hear ya
It be goin' in and out like a robbery ah
I'm tryin' to +take this money+ like +robin geeda+
Then i'ma +take you to the house+ like +trick and trina+

[hook]
Would you like to ride shotgun in the escalade
"so why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends"
"my friends, my friends, my friends, my friends"
Like a cloud in our sky, grab your things let's fly away
"so why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends"
"my friends, my friends, my friends, my friends"

[malik yusef]
Malik yusef, bet your baby momma know the name
The most critically acclaimed wordsmith in the game
I give you words spit with flames
Stay to myself and let nerves mix with lames
Connoisseur of kama sutra, do somethin' absurd with your dame
I used to love this girl who loved shoppin' and smokin' herb
But my job was to hustle 'dro
Now an artist of the spoken word, i just hustle flow
Never a preety boy, always a +beautiful mind+ like russell crowe
Now you in places no cabs'll take you, only the bus'll go
I would love for you and your friends to get with me and my friends
But the problemo is your attitude be on the stank side
And i no longer like you
Fuck it, now you can't ride but ooh, wouldn't you like to

[common]
Deep as the ocean is the motion of life
Thought you would have been the sister i chose for my wife
Not knowin' you was trife
Stiflin' a nigga's growth
All you wanna do is shop at river oaks
Watch soaps on the couch, take shit and smoke
I'm workin' hard like a fiend tryin' to get some dope
Thought my +real nigga quotes+ would make you truer
You ain't gon' let me school ya, at least let me tutor
The sex is good, but you ain't a shooter
There's a war goin' on inside, you ain't a trooper
I look through the mirror and see my reflection
It ain't in your direction so i passed her like a reverend
Return to my bitch and wine ways goin' wild like west and kanye
Wherever i lay my kufi is my home, goddamnit i'm grown
Broke broad i'ma leave your ass alone
You still wanna ride though
