[I won't deny it, I'm a straight rider, you don't wanna fuck with me]
All you ladies out there, c'mon At the clubs whatever, don't front You know you like them riders
[Show your love]
Now I heard that heaven is a half pipe Well that's only half right You don't have to skate vert to find Your heaven on this earth You can skate a parking lot and see it all for what its worth Heel flip 12 stairs and still receive your share Hardware to the wood, no risers at all On the low life skater for the bleepers involved Now they got platinum chains to match they brains Understand I'm not hating I'm just saying that it's strange that Hosoi's locked up, Tony Hawks got a game Even though everything has changed I still love it the same. 16 years later still doing my thing This goes out to all my riders' who don't gang bang.
[Hook] It used to be so fun we run from cops at the spots Making magic, wreaking havoc at your local parking lots Now let's ride. For them 15 stair nose slides Let's ride For them homies pulling airs backside Let's ride Old School Dog town Bertslide Let's ride Every time we bailed we got back up and tried.
Now I first started skating back in 1986 And I still can't land a mother fucking kick flip. I just like to ride, kick turn, carve the bowl. And my most impressive flatland trick, ollie the road. Though I'm not out of control It's good for my soul to go out and test my limits No coach, no scrimmage. One the few sports in life that promotes independence So this is my ode to everyone who rode Two trucks and four wheels Those who ride everyday to develop more skills It's urethane and pain Seven plies of wood grain Do the same trick for weeks Til it drives you insane But when you land that trick It's spiritual bliss When the bottom meets the asphalt It took them weeks, you were workin your ass off It's not about a girl, or some props for your boys You do it for yourself and that sense of inner joy

Now you can ride for fun, flow, am or pro It's like underground rap It's not about that dough Although it is nice to make loot at what you love Said by me and James Craig talking life over grub or Me and G-Mo's hosted outside the club If they won't let you wear your skate shoes Then fuck them scrubs Look I don't play ball or organized sports Catch me at the skate park In some border type shorts It's a quarter pipe sport S-K-A-T-E is sorta like H-O-R-S-E And we don't fear pain It's the daughter life source And we could make our own fun We don't gotta find a court It's as plain as this, we could skate a drainage ditch Ride with the homies, pull the insanest shit That'll never get filmed, but still it makes you feel Like a hundred-thousand dollars When you hear your boys holler This is dedicated to my skate boy scholars

Now on a real note We'll take a moment to say rest in peace to all your favorite skate spots Like EMB, Love Park Moment of silence Rest in peace Keenan Milton, keep ridin'.
