Ride Out

[Intro: Shane Eagle]
Yeah
I'm off the fuckin' leash, nigga (Reporting live from the--)
Yeah
No one safe, nigga

[Verse 1: Shane Eagle]
Yeah
I made it out the come up, had to escape
Rats, gatekeepers and snakes
And I kept my sanity, I'm still standing today
Fuck what they say
I ain't have to thank nobody except God
My wife and Giavanna
Is there truly a Nirvana?
Still remember my father's last tear drop before I hopped on a plane to Europe
Should've stayed my ass in Africa, I would've been a foot up (Huh)
But until you go, the harder you know
These rappers cosplayin us GOATS
Couldn't fuck with me on the worst day, one flow'll let 'em go
My ancestors spirits on a boat
Some of 'em still don't even know
Fuck do you know about the big hole in Kimberly?
Sent the biggest diamond, Young Eagle is still shimmerin', nigga
Still shimmerin'
Who the true inhabitants of this land?
What you know about Khoisan? Uh
Somebody tell Nas' Northstar to come talk to me
So we can have a conversation 'bout this generation
Where it's headed
Sad the sacred art form of rap is dyin'
I couldn't let it
I was born in the golden era of '96
Back when Makaveli was running this shit
Used to see Pac murals on the wall
Used to think he was from Eldos, seen the gang wars
Even the president had to intervene
But my people still in poverty, they sold 'em dreams
Yeah they sold 'em dreams, yeah
But keep your dream alive, yeah
And keep your dream alive
Put your middle up and keep your dream alive

[Pre-Chorus: Shane Eagle]
I could burn this bitch down if I want to
I could burn this bitch down if I want to

[Chorus: Shane Eagle]
And I hop in my hoopty then I ride (Yeah)
(Can you really understand me?)
And I hop in my hoopty then I ride

[Verse 2: Shane Eagle]
Can you really understand me through a 16
I was raised around gangsters, killers, seen crack fiends
Even my own family tried to sabotage my own dreams
I had a homie, we started this music shit together
Couldn't see that he was a Judas, just to go and get some cheddar
Now this wicked music industry controls his soul
Couldn't see that everything that glitters ain't gold
That boy ain't got a real bone in his body, he a GMO
I could turn this shit to a documentary like HBO, yeah
Fuck your Shane Eagle boycott
The man of men
I ran through firewalls Gemini temperament, nigga
I'm a juggernaut
Burnin' shit down when I want to or whatnot, nigga yeah

[Outro: Shane Eagle]
I could burn this bitch down if I want to
I could burn this bitch down if I want to
