I'm gonna ride, ride
A D
Up to the tip top, never stop, always drop
A D
One shot, one stop, play the punk rock
A
And when the cops stop
D A
It's a timeless joint set to one drop
D A
And all the girls, you were the one
D A
We stood above everyone
D A
You took it hard girl, you never had fun
D A
So drop your bag girl, please don't run
D A
Ride it up, tie it up, drink it on down
D A
Tip it up, sip it up, kick it uptown
D A
And tell me exactly girl when you come around
D A
Cause I'll wait for you, girl, I won't back down
[Chorus]

Girl I only want what was best for you

This girl's a real heart-breaker

Different dialect, needs a translator

I'll make a choice, not wait for later

Life goes on, no I don't hate her
D A
Hey I get it, I got it, I'm down
D A
Roll it, hit it, kick it around
D A
Haha, I kick it around
D A
But my feet remain planted on the fucking ground
D A
One time heroin, one time gone
D A
First time against it, then you sing along
D A
That's what happens when your life goes wrong
D A
I've got nothing but truth in my song
