Let It Ride

from Songs To Live By by The Square Egg

lyrics

I put writes on naked white paper/ To shape your minds with these rhymes
Ink to leaflets when the beat gets hot/ Write to let the mind release, scribble inkblots
Between margins to form these phrases/ It's so amazing how I blaze
And now these fragments form in these quiet storms
Of the thoughts, the flow when I let words go from my skull to my lips/ And man it's such a trip
I impressed myself if no one else/ I gathered these ideas, mastered for years
And I channel like that, kick, snare and hi-hat
Lay the bed for the layers of the fresh rhyme-sayer/ You could get it now or understand it later
Or maybe never comprehend how these words blend/ Fuck it, man, I’m such a trip

Let it ride, let it ride, let it ride, let it ride, let it ride, let it ride
If it feel good so you just let it ride
Let it ride, let it ride, let it ride, let it ride, let it ride, let it ride
If it feel good so you just let it ride

I got the a e i o u/ Eradicator of the flu/ Linguistic, man this flow is mystic
This shit just hits, it's like, “Lee, please go easy on ‘em my man!”
But I can't stop/ Bic to a strip/ I begin to nic into the pad add poetic manuscripts
Flip hair follicles with my word molecules and lyrical dynamic you take for granted
But know no other speaker with words that can reach you
Through the mic mesh and sound so fresh and dope and fly
He's such a guy, a unique fellow, he freaks it's so mellow
Shake your ass like Jell-O, or boogie or move, ride with the groove
‘Cause it just soothes and moves your body and your mind
But like I said I'm such a trip

Let it ride, let it ride, let it ride, let it ride, let it ride, let it ride
If it feel good so you just let it ride
Let it ride, let it ride, let it ride, let it ride, let it ride, let it ride
If it feel good so you just let it ride

I never be doing for myself, don't be rhyming for my health
Be using this incorrect lingo to bring foes too knees
Enemies be folding/ Be molding masses, moving asses when holding true to form
When not of the norm/ Be building and yielding to progress
I bless mic mesh so I strike and test your cheese style fairytales
Bury week individuals so you could be hard as you please 6 feet under
The worry and they wonder/ With words like thunder
I bring fear tunneled through the ears of foes and everyone knows
Soon to be undisputed with words so crisp and unpolluted
You heard it and you knew that I was gonna do it and no one could stop it
When I rock it/ Man, I’m just such a trip
