[Verse]
America the great, fireworks that fake sparkle
Chained to the dollar, minds locked in the shackle
Difficult to love, yeah, the dream got a tackle
Freedom in the script, but the plot unraveled

[Prechorus]
Stars in the sky, but they fall to the pavement
Flags in the breeze, but the soul's in containment

[Chorus]
Ride, ride, yeah, I’ma ride till the wheels gone
Cross your arms, feel strong, but the vibe wrong
Ride, ride, yeah, till the beat’s on
Freedom’s a taste, bitter yet lifelong

[Verse 2]
Feed off the hate, a system that salivates
Prison pipelines with a calendar that calculates
Judge you by the faith, or the tint in your face
The great divide built wide, still running in place

[Prechorus]
Dreams in the dust, but we dress it in glamour
Chained to a trust, but the key’s just a hammer

[Chorus]
Ride, ride, yeah, I’ma ride till the wheels gone
Cross your arms, feel strong, but the vibe wrong
Ride, ride, yeah, till the beat’s on
Freedom’s a taste, bitter yet lifelong
