Ab-Soul - Ride Slow Lyrics






[Intro - Ab-Soul:]
Ain't no sitting down in here my nigga
Yeah [evil laughs]
Yeah keep-say-Oh I think niggas is laughing at me
That's right make that spooky shit
Yo-y-y-yo-yo look-look
I Ride Slow

[Verse 1 - Ab-Soul:]
These rhythms of visions of me living colossal, ahead of my time
In time you'll find that I'm a fossil
Know not what I do
Lord do you have mercy on my soul? Far as I know I'm a poet or in an apostle
Smoking my dro, smell the aroma on my clothes
Rose from the dirt, so I'm down to Earth
(Oh I know)
You made a few bucks now you feel buck
Your chains gold, my shades all black
I can do this with a blindfold
This ain't rap this is find a mine in your mind blow
Your brains back out of your wave cap, I don't know Tae Bo
But I kick that, you're a Kit-Kat
Life's sweet but, way down the line you're just a snack

[Hook - Earl Sweatshirt & Ab-Soul:]
It gets cold on the road to the riches
(Yeah, I Ride Slow)
The cars and the clothes is expensive
(Yo, I Ride Slow)
These hoes with they nose in my business
(Yeah, I Ride Slow)
Nigga
(Yo, I Ride Slow)
These rhythms of visions of me living colossal, ahead of my time
In time you'll find that I'm a fossil
Yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yo
Insane in the membrane!

[Verse 2 - Ab-Soul:]
I Ride Slow, live fast, small time to big cash
Cut corners, cut loose, cut class, fuck school
Had to learn though, the harder way
Pushing pennies but see a three's a 16 in my sport
Figure deal me I'm filthy I know it's greedy out here
I told you that but I made my way through it like Moses did with his staff!
Relax, and try not to step on the crack, that'll break your mothers back
On the surface I will certainly scratch
See Mac? He made this from scratch, just imagine what we could do with a flick of the wrist
Your puppets anyway, let's say I'm playing ventriloquist
Go this a way, go that a way, I'm scatter brain with this shit
What's that a K? Put that away, no weapons formed against, me... shall pass
Remember that? I'm biblical with this shit
The tales from the Crip, on the soul of Sunday schools finna flip
Oh! (blow)
The cameras gone so bring the acid tabs along and let's all gather round and sing my fucking song!
Yo, I Ride Slow...

[Hook]

[Verse 3 - Danny Brown:]
Check!
I Ride Slow, sparking like exhaust, smite a pyro
A psycho, Xannys in my cup before I pour a fo'
You nacho, mean a nigga put cheese on you
Pulling up no headlights but there's red beams on you
Apostle, smoking on this dope my brain colossal
Helps out the flow to do tricks like a brothel
Roll the lace with Angel Dust and pages of the bible
Survival tactics, target practice if you lacking it get drastic
Caskets If you niggas talking ass backwards
Up shits creek with a tissue paddle, OG Kush make a nigga chest rattle
Call your number like you just won the raffle
Nigga you Snapple sweet come after me it's casualty
Turn you into vegetables as if i dropped the celery
The reality is all you niggas fictitious, smack you
With the hand of satan cause you need some sanitation
Any nigga hating we gon' turn them to a raisin
One nigga, 30 clip, turn your brain into bacon bits
And I ain't saying shit cause I'm coming from Detroit where
I'm coming up short then niggas Ride Slow, AK-ing up your porch
(I Ride Slow!)

(I-I-I Ride)
(I-I-I Ride)

[Interlude - Doeburger:]
Niggas talking about all this lean shit, nigga I been sipping this shit since... been sipping this shit
(I Ride Slow)
Silly out here...
Niggas wanna tell me about 2 cups, nigga I gave this nigga Soul his first 2 cups nigga
I gave cuz his first cup of Lean
What you niggas talking bout?
(I Ride Slow)
Cuz older than me, that's what I be talking about see? fuck it
(I Ride Slow)
(These rhythms of visions of me living colossal, ahead of my time
In time you'll find that I'm a fossil)
Soulo

[Hail Mary melody]
La-la-la-la-la
Do you wanna ride or die?
(I Ride Slow)
What do we have here now? Run quick see
Come with me, come with me
(Inhale Mary)
Come with me, come with me
(Exhale Mary)
La-la-la-la-la
(I Ride Slow)

[Verse 4 - Ab-Soul:]
I heard they stopped making Actavis...
(You know when I heard that?)
While I was sipping Actavis!
Fast life, slow motion in my double cup
The screw give me drive like a flat-head, every fill up
I must be Captain Phillips
These niggas don't speak my language
Residue on my debit card, don't tell my moms
That it's a lot more than marijuana in her son
I walk on the dark side, only to shed light where they ain't no sun
Deadline Snapback on my mind, I ain't suicidal I'm just fly
My rhymes, Ciroc and Ayahuasca would you like a sip?
Enlightenment from a low life that's more than likely high
What I do with 8 zips nigga? You don't know the half
All these lines add up like a motherfucking graph
Rap as if I had 2 left feet, tryna walk a righteous path
So here's a question that I ask...
What's a negative with no plus?
A Benz with no bus?
A curse with no gift?
Who's God with no us?

[Verse 5 - Delusional Thomas:]
Delusional, murder marsupials when I puke a flow
Put my dick in witches from the Crucible
I'm hard to get a read on, that pussy shaking, Parkinson's Disease on
Pardon me I sneezed, blessing conscious as I speaks freely
Death is cold homie, breathe easy
Loaded gun in front of me
Shoot the soul right out of Soul, yeah you my homie
You do my murder

Ay-ay-ay-ay
Fuck off! Maaaaaan
(I Ride Slow)
(Stop sniffing on that God-Damn bleach is what you need to do)

How dare a man talk about the potency of my pack?
I snort dope, it's mixed with Crystal Meth and gastric bypass
Satan's blood in my flesh
Nobody is high as, and These Days the iPad
Will tell you that your life will be no longer than an eyelash...
And then float away
(I Ride Slow)
So good luck!

[Outro:]

Boop-boop-boop-boop-boop-boop-
Fuck yeah!

Yo Doeburger man

  44. T.... P....

    Remember how People thought Mac Miller only was Frat Boy rapper?

    How Times Have changed Mac killed it

    T.... P....

    Terrell Peyton DB likes Delusionals craziness

    T.... P....

    RIP to a real one

    T.... P....

    Mac miller is the epitome of most improved. I didn't really care for his earlier poppy work, but projects like delusional Thomas, faces, and WMWTSO really changed my mind.

    Rip Mac

    T.... P....

    What you all seemed to have forgotten is that "frat" pop rap was just a small phase. There was Easy Mac of Ill Spoken BEFORE all that and he still released chill vibed out music on the low at the same time he had his poppy trash prime time (ie Sour Hour of 2010, which is one more underground vibe out music).

    T.... P....

    I'm glad they cut their bullshit and made this dark psychedelic poetry,Rip to STEEZ MAC AND NIPSEY

  45. d.... ....

    im hard to get a read on.

  46. J.... V....

    YO YO YO YO YO YO YO

  47. A.... C....

    Soul was on 3 acid tabs and watched Mac make this beat in like 20-30 minutes

    A.... C....

    How would you know

    A.... C....

    +Brandon Holland because he said it in an interview

  48. S.... G....

    Is that earl?

    S.... G....

    On the hook

  49. D.... ....

    He said on twitter that he recorded the first half of this on LSD

    D.... ....

    +Kevin Parker sure sounds like that lol

    D.... ....

    The second half sounds cool

  50. J.... E....

    Danny Brown really bodied this.

  51. J.... E....

    Ab-Soul and Danny Brown make the best music together. Mac did great too, but I'd love to see a Soulo/Brown collab album or even just a mixtape

    J.... E....

    +Jarvis Elmerhath larry fishy production on that would be crazy

    J.... E....

    Jarvis Elmerhath I'm mad they didn't give Earl a real verse.

  52. A.... ....

    Cypress Hill remake. Tight tho. Better than most shit out there nowadays.
    http://youtu.be/VAJ4JNT-GyM

  53. J.... B....

    Best song on the album.
    His bars are so fucking witty.

  54. N.... ....

    Correction everybody killed this my bad earl lol

  55. N.... ....

    Anyone fn with soul got kill this sht Danny made this song hit hard to with ab-soul

  56. E.... O....

    These days needed earl

    E.... O....

    This is my first time hearing it while tripping. Long awaited!

  60. W.... W....

    Listen to this while your tripping and holy shit

  61. C.... ....

    Delusional Thomas and Larry Fisherman are both Mac Miller

  62. a.... ....

    Listened to his album purely because this song, its not really my taste but this track right here is the shit.

  63. G.... H....

    Lalalalalala do you wanna ride or die ?

  64. G.... H....

    Trippyyyyyy

  65. S.... W....

    Feels like I'm riding along for drive-by in South Central.

  66. R.... G....

    Everybody is getting confused because Earl's on the hook and not featured on the song

  67. Z.... M....

    Didn't realize Earl was in this song

  68. Z.... M....

    Killuminati tho.

  69. D.... S....

    When I see Danny Brown featured on a song I expect the unexpected.. 

  70. T.... B....

    i was on acid the first time i ever heard this song

    T.... B....

    Ab-Soul was on acid when he recorded it. I guess this song is made for doing acid.

  71. d.... ....

    isn't earl in this?

    d.... ....

    +Richard Chirino Yes that is Earl.

  72. A.... ....

    Earl on the hook

  73. D.... ....

    CAN WE GET A DELUSIONAL THOMAS 2 PLEASE. FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

    D.... ....

    Love the first mixtape, need more DT bad

    D.... ....

    @candIejac lmao

    D.... ....

    @rhaf fearing i can only dream.. but if that dream were to come true.. omg

  74. J.... R....

    can anyone actually tell me why earl isn't credited anywhere for this song?

  75. g.... ....

    "Enlightenment from a low life that's more than likely high"...soul has bars nigga no doubt

  76. A.... a....

    You can hear kdot with those gun noises in the background XD

  77. S.... G....

    I fucking love the way Danny Brown says I ride slow!!!!

  78. l.... l....

    Danny brown killed this shit thou

  79. L.... F....

    saw an interview with soul and he said he had three tabs of acid under his tongue and mac made the beat in 10 to 20 minutes 

  80. N.... S....

    Earls on the hook idiots

  81. D.... M....

    no all of you are wrong. delusional Thomas is a group. its when earl and mac do a beat together or when earl makes the beat and mac raps to it. nobody's specifically delusional Thomas.. its just earl and mac together in some way.

  82. m.... b....

    1 nígga thirty clip turn your brain into some bacon bits 😂😂😭😭lol danny brown went in

  83. J.... P....

    been sippin this shit since... been sippin this shit

  84. D.... M....

    Earl needed a Verse but tHats my Opinion

  85. D.... ....

    he did this song on acid lol

  86. c.... s....

    this is the first song i heard from him ever so when i listened to the whole album i was pretty disappointed.

    dude has skill but i just dont like the style of most of his song

    this dude has a LOT of potential

    c.... s....

    The albums kind of a parody of popular rap nowadays. His usual music is more like this song and pretty good

  87. T.... ....

    Danny brown just got evil as fuck on this song soul killed it but danny had straight murder bars

  88. j.... m....

    Souls flow just reminds me so much of jay z's its mind blowing lol

  89. j.... m....

    Souls flow just reminds me so much of jay z's its mind blowing lol

  90. R.... T....

    Mac Miller produced this and Ab-Soul was on three tabs of acid making this...Mac produced most of these days

  91. R.... 6....

    " I walked the hardaway pushin penny's but a 3's a 16 in my sport"...those who know penny hardaway know wassup

  92. R.... 6....

    danny brown verse of the year

  93. B.... R....

    Perfect Combination Of Artists!

  94. D.... A....

    that really really really sounds like earl sweatshirt on the hook

  95. w.... ....

    This song is incredible and real fucked when you listen to it tripping on acid. Some real SPOOKEY shit! Song goes hard.

  96. G.... L....

    Why isn't "These Days..." On ITunes ?

  97. T.... S....

    who's the nigga that sound like earl?

  98. S.... S....

    wait earl sweatshirt on the hook or nah
