[Intro (Kanye West)]
You like to ride... (uh)
(So "why don´t) you and your friends (get with) me and my friends"
"(My friends) my friends, my friends, my friends"

Would you like to ride?
(I don´t know what happened, it´s just like, heh)
"So why don´t you and your friends get with me and my friends"
"My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends"

[Kanye West]
I had that little ass Nissan at your crib showin´ up
Liquor store out of Arbor Mist, we Irish Rosed it up
Then we rolled to the movies, you rocked your fake Chloes
You had Gap and Gucci, that´s still two G´s
But that´s that last year purse like it´s still too cheap
Ooh you so boozy boo you could of fooled me
Cuz five years ago you was so Fugees

Now you don´t want nothin´ unless it cost a few G´s
You like the light-skinned Ania, the dark-skinned Aaliyah
The black Jennifer Lopez, a ghetto senorita
You remind me of my Jeep but not no Kia
We can talk on your cell, but not Nokia
It be goin´ in and out, that´s why I barely hear ya
It be goin´ in and out like a robbery ah
I´m tryin´ to +take this money+ like +Robin Geeda+
Then I´ma +take you to the house+ like +Trick and Trina+

[Hook]
Would you like to ride shotgun in the Escalade
"So why don´t you and your friends get with me and my friends"

"My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends"
Like a cloud in our sky, grab your things let´s fly away
"So why don´t you and your friends get with me and my friends"
"My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends"

[Malik Yusef]
Malik Yusef, bet your baby momma know the name
The most critically acclaimed wordsmith in the game
I give you words spit with flames
Stay to myself and let nerves mix with lames
Connoisseur of Kama Sutra, do somethin´ absurd with your dame
I used to love this girl who loved shoppin´ and smokin´ herb
But my job was to hustle ´dro

Now an artist of the spoken word, I just hustle flow
Never a preety boy, always a +beautiful mind+ like Russell Crowe
Now you in places no cabs´ll take you, only the bus´ll go
I would love for you and your friends to get with me and my friends
But the problemo is your attitude be on the stank side
And I no longer like you
Fuck it, now you can´t ride but ooh, wouldn´t you like to

"My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends"

[Common]
Deep as the ocean is the motion of life
Thought you would have been the sister I chose for my wife
Not knowin´ you was trife
Stiflin´ a nigga´s growth
All you wanna do is shop at River Oaks
Watch soaps on the couch, take shit and smoke
I´m workin´ hard like a fiend tryin´ to get some dope
Thought my +real nigga quotes+ would make you truer

You ain´t gon´ let me school ya, at least let me tutor
The sex is good, but you ain´t a shooter
There´s a war goin´ on inside, you ain´t a trooper
I look through the mirror and see my reflection
It ain´t in your direction so I passed her like a reverend
Return to my bitch and wine ways goin´ wild like West and Kanye
Wherever I lay my kufi is my home, goddamnit I´m grown
Broke broad I´ma leave your ass alone
You still wanna ride though
