[00:00.256]Would you like to ride? (Uh)

[00:09.366]My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends? (Uh)

[00:16.714]So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends
[00:19.747](My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends?)
[00:20.627][Verse 1: Kanye West]
[00:21.608]I had that little ass Nissan at your crib showin' up
[00:24.224]Liquor store out of Arbor Mist, we Irish Rose'd it up
[00:26.940]Then we rolled to the movies, you rocked your fake Chloés
[00:29.534]You had Gap and Gucci, that's still two G's
[00:32.223]But that's that last year purse, like it's still too cheap
[00:34.509]Ooh, you so bougie, boo, you could have fooled me
[00:37.234]'Cause five years ago you was so Fugees ("Ooh-la-la-la")
[00:39.892]Now you don't want nothin' unless it cost a few G's
[00:42.435]You like the light-skinned'ed Nia, the dark-skinned Aaliyah
[00:45.117]The black Jennifer Lopez, a ghetto señorita (Heh)
[00:47.601]You remind me of my Jeep, but not no Kia
[00:50.148]We can talk on your cell, but not Nokia
[00:52.686]It be goin' in and out, that's why I barely hear ya
[00:55.403]It be goin' in and out like a robbery-ah
[00:57.985]I'm tryin' to take this money like Rob and G. Dep
[01:00.550]Then I'ma take you to the house like Trick and Trina (Uh)
[01:02.768][Chorus: JoVaughn Clark & Phife Dawg]
[01:03.004]Would you like to ride shotgun in the Escalade?
[01:09.255]So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends
[01:11.638]My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends?
[01:13.167]Like a cloud through the sky, grab your things, let's fly away
[01:19.583]So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends
[01:21.925]My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends?
[01:22.831][Verse 2: Malik Yusef]
[01:24.509]Malik Yusef – bet your baby mama know the name
[01:26.723]The most critically acclaimed wordsmith in the game
[01:29.745]I give you words, spit with flames
[01:31.815]Stay to myself and let nerds mix with lames
[01:34.639]Connoisseur of Kama Sutra, do somethin' absurd with your dame
[01:38.590]I used to love this girl who loved shoppin' and smokin' herb
[01:42.116]But my job was to hustle 'dro
[01:44.259]Now an artist of the spoken word, I just hustle flow
[01:47.526]Never a pretty boy, always A Beautiful Mind like Russell Crowe
[01:51.775]Now you in places no cabs'll take you, only the bus'll go
[01:55.158]I would love for you and your friends to get with me and my friends
[01:58.304]But the problemo is your attitude be on the stank side and I no longer like you
[02:03.063]**** it, now you can't ride, but, ooh, wouldn't you like to?
[02:05.108][Chorus: JoVaughn Clark & Phife Dawg]
[02:05.523]Would you like to ride shotgun in the Escalade?
[02:11.452]So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends
[02:13.843]My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends?
[02:15.193]Like a cloud through the sky, grab your things, let's fly away

[02:24.171]My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends?
[02:26.106][Verse 3: Common]
[02:27.038]Deep as the ocean is the motion of life
[02:29.181]Thought you would have been the sister I chose for my wife
[02:31.763]Not knowin' you was trife
[02:33.067]Stiflin' a nigga's growth
[02:35.301]All you wanna do is shop at River Oaks
[02:37.496]Watch soaps on the couch, talk shit, and smoke
[02:39.667]I'm workin' hard like a fiend tryin' to get some dope
[02:42.465]Thought my "Real Nigga Quotes" would make you truer
[02:44.992]You ain't gon' let me school ya, at least let me tutor
[02:47.684]The sex is good, but you ain't a shooter
[02:49.896]There's a war goin' on inside, you ain't a trooper
[02:52.487]I look through the mirror and see my reflection
[02:55.177]It ain't in your direction, so I passed her like a reverend
[02:57.769]Returned to my Bishop Juan ways, goin' Wild West like Kanye
[03:01.153]Wherever I lay my kufi is my home – goddamnit, I'm grown
[03:05.348]Broke broad, I'ma leave your ass alone
[03:07.321]You still wanna ride though
[03:07.965][Chorus: JoVaughn Clark & Phife Dawg]
