    Default Why, what's the point in this song?

    They see me rollin'
    They hatin'
    Patrollin'
    And tryin. to catch me ridin. dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    My music so loud;
    I'm swangin'.
    They hopin'
    That they gon' catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.

    Police think they can see me lean;
    I'm tint so it ain't easy to be seen.
    They see me ride by, they can see the glean
    And my shine on the deck and the TV screen.
    Ride with a new chick, she like "Hold up."
    Next to the Playstation controlla
    There's a full clip in my pistola;
    send a jacker into a coma.
    Girl, you ain't know, I'm crazy like Krayzie Bone;
    Just tryin' to bone, ain't tryin' to have no babies.
    Ride clean as hell so I pull in ladies.
    Law's on patrol; you know they hate me.
    Music turned all the way up and to the maximum;
    I can speak for some *****s tryin' to jack for some.
    But we packin' somethin' that we have
    And, um, will have a ***** locked up in the maximum
    Security cell. I'm grippin' oak.
    Music loud and I'm tippin' slow.
    Twins steady twistin' like hit this dough;
    Police Pull up from behind and im sittin low.
    Windows down, gotta stop pollution.
    CDs change; *****s like "Who is that producin'?"
    This the Play-N-Skillz when we out and cruisin'
    Got warrants in every city except Houston
    But I still ain't losin'.

    They see me rollin';
    They hatin'.
    Patrollin'
    And tryin. to catch me ridin. dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    My music so loud;
    I'm swangin'.
    They hopin'
    That they gon' catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.

    I been drinkin' and smokin'; holdin' ****
    'Cause I really can't focus.
    I gotta get to home 'fore the po-po's scope
    This big ol Excursion
    Swervin',
    All up in the curve, man.
    ***** been sippin' on that Hennessey
    And the gin again
    Is in again;
    We in to win.
    Doin' a hundred while I puff on a blunt
    And rollin another one up;
    We livin' like we ain't givin' a ****.
    I got a revolver in my right hand;
    40 oz on my lap, freezing my balls
    Roll anotha tree, green leaves and all.
    Comin' up pretty deep, me and my dogs, yo.
    I gotta get to backstreets;
    Wanted by the six-pounds
    And I got heat.
    glock, glock
    shots to the block;
    We creep-creep. Pop-pop.
    Hope cops don't see me;
    On a low key.
    With no regard for the law,
    We dodge 'em like ****-'em-all.
    But I won't get caught up
    And brought up
    On charges for none of y'all.
    Keep a gun in car
    And a blunt to spark,
    Run up if you want,
    *****,poppin'you dark.
    Ready or not, we gon' bust shots off in the air
    Krayzie Bone and Chamillionaire.

    They see me rollin';
    They hatin'.
    Patrollin'
    And tryin. to catch me ridin. dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.

    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.

    Do what you thinkin' so,
    I tried to let you go.
    Turn on my blinker light
    And then I swang it slow.
    And they upset for sure
    'Cause they think they know
    That they catchin me with plenty of the drank n' dro.
    So they get behind me,
    Tryin' to check my tags.
    Look at my rearview and they smilin',
    Thinkin' they'll catch me on the wrong; keep tryin'
    steady denyin' it's racial profilin'.
    Houston, TX, you can check my tags;
    Pull me over, try to check my slab.
    Glove compartment, gotta get my cash
    'Cause the crooked cops'll try to come up fast.
    And bein' the baller that I am, I talk to them,
    Givin' a damn 'bout not feeling my attitude.
    When they realize I ain't even ridin' dirty
    Bet you'll be leavin' with an even madder mood.
    I'ma laugh at you
    And then I have to cruise.
    You're a number two
    On some old DJ Screw.
    You can't arrest me plus you can't sue.
    This a message to the law; tells 'em "We hate you."
    I can't be touched and tell 'em that they shoulda known.
    Tippin' down; I'm sittin' crooked on my chrome.
    Bookin' my phone; findin' a chick I wanna bone.
    Like they couldn't stop me I'm a bout to pull up at your home
    And it's on.

    They see me rollin';
    They hatin'.
    Patrollin'
    And tryin. to catch me ridin. dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    My music so loud;
    I'm swangin'.
    They hopin'
    That they gon' catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
    Other than being a long long song, what's the point in this song?
    All it does is say "Yeah I'm awesome" and "yeah, i'm black so the cops come after me every chance they get"
    No wonder there's the "racist police" stereotype out there today, this guy's not doing much to dispell that myth, of course it was created by people like him.

    No, the myth was not created by people like him, it was created by people who wanted to change the society in the mid 80's.

    Does this song actually deserve it's own topic just because it has no point?
    I agree with your sentiment. I could probably dig up a number of songs - from every genre - which have no point, some of which I think are good, some of which I think are bad; I could equally well find a number of songs with a point, some of which are good, and some of which are bad.

    Come on people, there are like millions of songs that have no point at all. I don't know why this one would be worth a topic. Is it that its's a pointless rap song with terrible lyrics that it should have it's own topic. I don't think a song MUST have 'a point' , because it can just be 'good music'. Now I'm not saying this song is 'good music' (haven't heard it I think). But a song that should be played at regular parties doesn't need a point, it should just be dance-able.

    Just close this topic, it's only food for rap bashers...

    Oh...and I can name some songs of other genres that are all about : "I'm so awesome" and have something to do with "I don't like the police". Not all songs should be taken seriously, because some songs are not at all meant seriously.

    Well my point being, is why do they constantly have to bash the "racist" police who are always out to get them. After all, all cops are white aren't they?

    I think this song SPREADS racism and hatred against Police. It says that they're basicaly just out to "get the brotha's"

    This is honestly the first song I've ever come across that was souly written as a bash against the Police and nothing else.

    Just close this topic, it's only food for rap bashers...
    Then just close the "best rapper" topic as it's only food for Police Bashers

    Or "Gang Control". But yea... the only thing that young black people and whiggas do these days is "ride dirty" and complain about the 'poes' It's annoying as hell. Reminds me of a clip in the movie 'Crash' wherin one of the actors says rap was invented by the man in order to stupify the African American population and keep them suppressed. I think it's a true statement. And sure, cops can be SOBs sometimes, but face it, it's part of society, it's not going away, and complaining about it will only further the conflict and continue the antagonism.
