This is a song that I meant to post a while back but never got the chance to..So without any further interuption here it is...tell me what ya'll think

~~Ride Till I Die~~ Written by J-o-e

I told them once, and then I told them twice

On the corner slanging or just rolling the dice

I’m not a gambling man but I still bet a stack

I spent more than that just writing this track

What’s your speciality? Come back to reality

It’s cool because we don’t want to ruin your mentality

I don’t understand where they all come from

But the gangs shocked that Joe don’t have a gun

You see I fight with my fists and if **** pops

The heater drops run away from the cops

They crooked but it just can’t be proven

I told them once, then you better be moving

Don’t like to repeat myself, Why should I?

Not going to cry, I’m going to ride till I die

Thug life but still trapped in that drug life

Rest of my life waiting for the slug life

They thought I was fake, got me so irate

The reason you hate is the same he debates

I can’t take this talk **** and get to shooting

When New Orleans was flooded, whats wrong with looting

They have a right to keep on living, keep giving

But the government are cold hearted, not forgiving

I keep it real in the street, As hard as I try

Keep telling them man, Ride till I die…

I’m a Ride Till I Die

Just Look In My Eye

Tear Drops, I Just Cry

I’m A Ride Till I Die

I’m not a gangster, and I don’t try to be

But when young mothers have to cry to see

Get a bit of attention because of the youth

We trapped but they think that the truth

Are all lies, we try but we keeping dying

Answer me why does young mothers keep crying

I’m down with the street as long as I can

I’m a man and knows when **** hit’s the fan

Family is first but what’s worse, brothers in a hearse

Just because I curse? Here’s another verse.

When the oil exploded right in my home town

Government had to frown because he weren’t down

Now who am I? Stuck in this life till I die

Till I cry? They don’t listen so then I try

To leave the hood but it just gives me love

I might be doing wrong but only he can up above

Judge me in what I do just for living

Sinning because I don’t like the idea of prison

I’m a ride till I die, I done already told you

Pimps keep saying I done already sold you

Young position drug dealers catching feelings

Trying to have visions of them making millions

What can we expect? See me as a reject

I got a knife, so now I’m a ****ing suspect…

I’m a Ride Till I Die

Just Look In My Eye

Tear Drops, I Just Cry

I’m A Ride Till I Die

I rode so slowly even my mother didn’t know me

But in the hard times nobody was there to show me

What’s right from wrong, so I right another song

But best believe I still know that the pressures on

Even though this is my second LP, what can I do?

My own crew don’t like me so there’s only a few

Cops coming buy to arrest us, a ****ed up system

But when I flash pass cops sorry I done missed them

I feel blessed but at the same time I stressed

I feel obsessed but I know who would of guessed

I don’t see money often, so it’s a privilege to me

Crazy to see that how is Joe going to be an MC?

I wish I could get the good back in the hood

Maybe I should or I hope so…touch wood

I know at times it seems life is just so hopeless

But that’s where it hits you, when you lose focus

You need to get your head up before you loose

The game’s too open so there’s a game you choose

Looking on the TV just seeing if there’s any news

Wonder why so many of us have for the blues

I seem unhappy with the **** I have to carry

But how can I live if I’m on the lowest salary?

But I’m a ride till I die, thug till I get blown out

Up in the club raising hell, till I get thrown out

So that’s the reason I got a cold look in my eye

Because I’m ready man, Riding until I die…

I’m a Ride Till I Die

Just Look In My Eye

Tear Drops, I Just Cry

I’m A Ride Till I Die
