I'm looking in my rearview And I can see a clearer view of you (Konvict) This is the remix, I see you waiting, I know you hating I see them watching, they waiting For an opportunity to ride up on me Hoping they don't roll up on me, 'cause today I'm riding dirty And if they stop me, I might be going to jail tonight I see them watching, they waiting For an opportunity to ride up on me Hoping they don't roll up on me, 'cause today I'm riding dirty (ch-chea!) And if they stop me, I might be going to jail tonight (Chamillitary mayne, uh, yeah) I got 20 grand in my pocket and I'm ridin' around with my pockets crammed You the one that got the contraband And you smoking that like you in Amsterdam Before I know it, I see them sirens I'm pullin' over, aye, we just ridin' Don't talk back, won't be no violence Just shut up, and sit in your seat in silence Now the police is searching who? They searching me and then they searching you They smell the breeze and you smell like trees 'Cause you hit the blunt and hit the purple, too Now the lie is irreversible Because you just told 'em we were ridin' clean They question you, but they ain't question me yet I'm thinking the police ain't find a thing Standing on the side of the freeway Wishing they would just hurry up And I can see, you walking up to me Like he about to put me up in them cuffs I turned around and I look at you And you look away like you feeling sick I'm going to jail for what I didn't commit I must admit, that I hate a snitch I see them watching, they waiting For an opportunity to ride up on me Hoping they don't roll up on me, 'cause today I'm riding dirty And if they stop me, I might be going to jail tonight I see them watching, they waiting For an opportunity to ride up on me Hoping they don't roll up on me, 'cause today I'm riding dirty And if they stop me, I might be going to jail tonight Ever since they heard the song "Ridin' Dirty" The whole world been listening, I'm glad you heard me Some cops that representing the badge assure me Every cop ain't bad or trying to scurr me A year after "White and Nerdy" On the grind, still trying, still flying birdies That stuff still in ya cup, still drivin' swervy Riding dirty like the vehicle inside the derby A little inspired by U.G.K And the rest inspired by the life I'm living Seen that Impala, he was drunk And that's when I saw the red lights go get 'em And it's ironic that during the chase Seen "Murder Chase", and this kid was Christian Moving target ran across the street And unfortunately, the car didn't miss him And now the family is soon to know That they gon' have to do another funeral The angels ain't singing to ya tune no more Don't move too fast, baby move it slow 'Cause one day ya here, baby Next thing ya know, next thing ya know Everything that used to move don't move no more I see them watching, they waiting For an opportunity to ride up on me Hoping they don't roll up on me, 'cause today I'm riding dirty And if they stop me, I might be going to jail tonight I see them watching, they waiting For an opportunity to ride up on me (This is not a movie, it's real life, yeah, yeah) It's real life, it ain't just a song, it's a message Nobody ever opens they eyes 'til somebody gets killed Rest in peace to Sean Bell Chamillitary Mayne
