Ride when we ride we ride
It's 'til the day that we die
When we ride we ride
It's 'til the day that we die

It's real late
'Bout a quarter to 1
I'm thinking about everything that we've become
And I hate it
I thought we could make it
But I'm ready to dead this
Just wanna forget about it
I saw her pictures
And the letters she sent
You had me thinking
You were out we your friends
I'm so foolish
Play me like I'm stupid
'Cause I thought it was just you and I (oh)

Now I look back on the time
That we spent and
I see it in my mind
Playing over and over again
'Cause boy right now
You got me breaking down
And I just can't figure out why
But this is what you say

Ride when we ride we ride
It's 'til the day that we die (We used to say)
When we ride we ride
It's 'til the day that we die

Ride when we ride we ride
It's 'til the day that we die (Boy I remember what you used to say)
When we ride we ride
It's 'til the day that we die

Visions in my mind
Of the day that we met
You showed me things
That I'll never forget
Took me swimming
In the ocean
You had my head up in the clouds
Made me feel like I'm floating (yeah)
You think I'm playing
When you know it's the truth
Nobody else can do it
Quite like I do
All my kisses
And my loving
But ain't nobody
Better than us

Now I look back on the time
That we spent and
I see it in my mind
Playing over and over again
'Cause boy right now
You got me breaking down
And I just can't figure out why
But you said

Ride when we ride we ride
It's 'til the day that we die (We used to say)
When we ride we ride
It's 'til the day that we die

Ride when we ride we ride
It's 'til the day that we die (Boy I remember what you used to say)
When we ride we ride
It's 'til the day that we die

I guess it's over
Indefinitely
But you and I know
It's not that easy
To let go
Of everything (everything) that we planned
And start all over again
Just blame yourself cause you blew it
I won't forget how you do it
Sweet baby
This is where the game ends now
Somehow wanna believe you and me
We can figure it out

Ride when we ride we ride
It's 'til the day that we die
When we ride we ride
It's 'til the day that we die

You finna make me say boy
I wish that you could hold me
When I'm lonely
When I need someone to talk to
You would phone me
Just like everything you told me
(When we ride we ride it's 'til the day that we die)
Boy you forgot about the promises
You made me
And now we'll let the memories
Just fade away
But I remember
What you used to say
(When we ride we ride it's 'til the day that we die)

Ride when we ride we ride
It's 'til the day that we die (We used to say)
When we ride we ride
It's 'til the day that we die

Ride when we ride we ride
It's 'til the day that we die (Boy I remember what you used to say)
When we ride we ride
It's 'til the day that we die
