Tell me would you ride, ride for me? Ain't no picking sides, switching sides on me When the chips are down When the lights turn low Will you hold me down? Let me know Can you ride, ride for me? Making assumptions Gon' lead to destruction Making our own wave It don't come with instructions Bent under pressure but never folded I kept my circle intact but I feel it closing, yeah Will you be there when it go down? Either you could show up or you back down Is you really riding? Let me find out Shit, I wish I knew then what I know now No type of distance could make me feel a way I know where we stand, I'm here to stay Tell me, would you ride, ride for me? Ain't no picking sides, switching sides on me When the chips are down When the lights turn low Will you hold me down? Let me know Can you ride, ride for me? I ain't never been the type to be in or out But when I speak out loud Gotta hear me out You ain't gotta take your words and put them in my mouth 'Cause, baby, without a doubt I'ma be there when it go down Make you believing love you been talking about You ain't gotta second guess it You the only one who gets it from me Whatever you need You ain't even gotta repeat it Tell me, would you ride, ride for me? Ain't no picking sides, switching sides on me When the chips are down When the lights turn low Will you hold me down? Let me know Can you ride, ride for me? For me?
