 feat. Chimere
[Chimere]
Ooh, hey yeah
Do you know how to leave, ride...ride

[Verse 1]
Ya see, it started off in St. Paul from the
street of Old Nash
And it feels so good to escape and just kick it
and laugh
My clan had to bring the ruckus cause we had the
cream
All you can eat over at Ryan's or some fish at
Gaseen's
And I had to fix a good bag and make decisions
and haste
Cause soul food ain't the motherf**kin' thang to
waste
So let's get looney up on the set cause I got
five on the fire
Will slide to East Point and make our way to
Black Rirer
Lookin' like Outkast on the spot smokin' blunts
and
Hit the liquor store got up, got out and got
something
That eightball, so I can do some space age
pimpin'
My blood stay young off 45's Colt and chicken
Camels and Rolls filled with d's and Vogues
And playas mackin' them hoes, in dyke clothes
Comin' up slammin' Caddy doors
In Southwest, we'll take it to yo chest
And we got it locked like some niggas on house
arrest
Cause we ridin'

[Chorus: Chimere]
Ridin' on that midnight train to Georgia, riiide
Ridin' on that midnight train to Georgia, riiide

[Verse 2]
It's just one of those days when I can kick it
like this and like that
It's a free day, my folks got rowdy way back
I right off of Cascade or Ralph David Abernathy
I shall proceed and continue to keep my roots
nappy
Cause afros in all seasons, they keep me warm
Some livin' that thug life so how long will they
mourn
I still ride, that's why I bounce my way to
bank-bed
I'm so bad that I'll knock you out, that's what
my mama said
Sippin' on brandy, sunny days with my best
friends
 
Today you see and then you cruise through the
West end
They should've said it was Six Flags Over Georgia
Then underground, my Tuesdays would be packed
when I got older
If I told you one, I told ya as* a thousand times
I got em' all in check when it comes to bustin'
rhymes
Don't sweat the technique cause I just move the
crowd
My mob's deep of alcoholics, people label us loud
because we ride

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
See I felt my bones jump as I crossed the road
I heard the squad was wiped up so I flipped my
mode
On my way to D-E-C, baby can't you see
That Decatur is totally to B-I-G for thee
Lost Boyz ridin' around in Jeeps, Lex Luth's, and
Beamers
Yo cars get scooped just like Regina carpet
cleaners
It's Stone Mountain Cats puttin' it down
They played Kurupt so I just gave all my dogs a
pound
Now my conflict was crucial off some hay I smoked
I should be gettin' it cause life is too got damn
short
And now my mind's playin' tricks and my boys
actin' ghetto
Back to the C-P, I put the pedal to the metal
God bless the child that's just got his own
Since I was a juvenile makin' cash money at home
I'm from a boy to a man, I've reached the end of
my road
It's Ludacris signin' off till the next episode,
let's ride

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Cause it's the A-T-L
Where all the pimps and the playas just dwell
We get the cash and the as* then bail
We leave a trace but never leave a trail
Say it again
Where all the pimps and the playas just dwell
We get the cash and the as* then bail
We leave a trace but never leave a trail

[Chimere ad-libs to fade]
