[Chorus]
So relax✦ and ride out (Mm, yeah)
Relax,✦ it's okay,✦ and ride out
Just relax✦ and ride out (Mm)
Players, relax✦ and ride out
[Verse 2]
I also✦ solicit visual✦ verbalism worth a visit✦
Intensely exquisite artism inquire all, who is it?
It's a deliciously daring✦ delicacy I eat to exist
Oh, his way with those words, I want seconds and thirds
Oh, hush, that's awful kind of you, you're making✦ me blush
I could use some competition,✦ but they not making✦ me much
Man, this beat is like my master,✦ it's making✦ me bust
Hip-hop✦ is suffering, meaning I'm a necessity, if nothing
But you like every✦ other✦ rapper,✦ cornrows and a bandana✦
But I get a hundred and fifty✦ thousand dollar✦ check
Every✦ three months off Santana✦
Don't you fuck up, though, my family✦ is the whole side of Atlanta
Now, how can I say? Okay,✦ let me just put it this way
If anyone✦ ever✦ contests my conquest my gun bless
Yo son just, takes✦ one time to be one less (Yes)
Yeah, you run and tell the rest that I'm the best
I sang sweet, but brang heat to bang meat
We all on the same street (Street)
And it's not that often✦ I verbalize✦ the essential element of surprise
I am not one of these thug rapper✦ guys
But this one would help you realize,✦ and use both eyes to recognize✦
The type of action✦ that this amount of money✦ buys
Now listen,✦ son, let me drop some shit on you, man
I can just, do-do-do-do-do-do-do and put a hit on you, man
With hot heat that will make your heartbeat quit on you, man
And Mr. Dawson'll find a pretty✦ box to fit on you, man
[Chorus]
So relax✦ and ride out
Just relax,✦ young man, ride out
Hey, you better✦ relax✦ and ride out
Okay,✦ just relax✦ and ride out
[Verse 3]
I could take that shit all day
But if I only✦ had sixteen more bars to live
I'd get high, and hopefully O.D. on an alternative✦
I'd give a dim lit dream, a color scheme
And I'd swim to the sun (For fun)
No matter✦ how impossible that may seem
I'd bury✦ my feet in the foundation✦ of a forest✦
Becoming one with everything there
I would belong,✦ I would be right and wrong, but I'd be rare
And then I would pretend I didn't care, use my fear
And pray that my forever would be fair
And I love you all, unconditional
I get misty,✦ already missin'✦ y'all
And then I forgive✦ those who rhyme to kill the time
While mine cultivate the consciousness and
Chill the spine, heal the mind, yet still sublime
[Chorus]
Ride out
Relax✦ and ride out
Relax✦ and ride out
Relax✦ and ride out
[Outro]
This is one for the road
Yeah, one time for your motherfucking✦ mind
I told you I don't motherfucking✦ play
D.F., y'all, believe this, yeah
Shouts out to OutKast, Goodie Mob, yeah (Haha)✦
Backbone, where you at, brother? (Hey)
Hahaha,✦ alright✦ (Speak easy,✦ y'all)
Hahaha,✦ yeah, can't nobody✦ stop me now
No, sir, yeah, I'm gone, y'all
Oh, man, it's lovely,✦ ahahah,✦ yeah
Somebody✦ better✦ stop mem hahaha,✦ 'cause I'm good
Hahaha,✦ yeah, hahaha✦
Alright✦ now, hahaha,✦ yeah, hahaha✦
Alright,✦ we gon' relax,✦ 'cause it feels so good
Everybody✦ doin' their goddamn thing, yeah
