"Ride Or Die" Lyrics:
Sitting here in this Cadillac
With a nine millimeter gun
Taking puffs of a cigarette
We may fight, or we might run
Got my pearls, got my jean shorts on
Got my heels up on the dash
Watching close for my baby's signal
Pull the break and hit the gas
The suns getting low
But I’ve nowhere else to go

I’m your Ride or Die chick
I’ll never ask why
You know that I got you
You know I won't cry
I’m your Ride or Die chick
Nowhere to hide
Call me your Bonnie
I’ll call you my Clyde like
Whoop whoop
When you hear those sirens coming, boy
Whoop whoop
We’re never gonna freeze
Whoop Whoop
When they wonder who’s running boy
Whoop Whoop
That's the sound of the police

She my Ride Or Die
I’m the one saddled up when it’s time to slide
Outcasts in the south law country
Idyllwild
I can be your Lou Reed
Take a walk on the wild side
Two Z’s but we don’t sleep too often we vampires
Grew up as a ward of the state
Her Daddy used to get so high he could just orbit in space
That made it tougher
But the absence of her Mother influenced her being truant
Two passionate lovers dashing while undercovers pursuant
Natural Born Killers
Mickey, Mallory
She’d point a pistol at my crotch if ever infidelity
That’s my Melanie
She fell on me
I wound up catching a felony
Then they found us now she’s sitting inside a cell with me
But Lord knows she’d never tell on me
Nor I on her
Her promises as true as mine on words
Til death do us part
Her dagger over my heart
If this is the end then it’s just the two of us
Noah’s Ark

I’m your Ride or Die chick
I’ll never ask why
You know that I got you
You know I won't cry
I’m your Ride or Die chick
Nowhere to hide
Call me your Bonnie
I’ll call you my Clyde like
Whoop whoop
When you hear those sirens coming, boy
Whoop whoop
We’re never gonna freeze
Whoop Whoop
When they wonder who’s running boy
Whoop Whoop
That's the sound of the police

When you’re fighting, I’m fighting
And when you’re packing, I’m packing
When you’re riding, I’m riding
When you’re laughing, I'm laughing
And when I’m looking in your eyes
Like I’m looking at lightning
Since the day that you struck me
It’s like my black clouds are whitening
Nobody got me til you were standing beside me
I was better off dead
Til you shook up my head
And that’s why
Imma ride or die

I’m your Ride or Die b****
I’ll never ask why
You know that I got you
You know I won't cry
I’m your Ride or Die b****
Nowhere to hide
Call me your Bonnie
I’ll call you my Clyde like
Whoop whoop
When you hear those sirens coming, boy
Whoop whoop
We’re never gonna freeze
Whoop Whoop
When they wonder who’s running boy
Whoop Whoop
That's the sound of the police

Whoop whoop
When we hear those sirens coming boy
Whoop whoop
We’re never gonna freeze
Whoop Whoop
When they wonder who’s running boy
Whoop Whoop
That's the sound of the police
Whoop whoop
That's the sound of the police
Whoop whoop
That's the sound of the police
