| Lyrics: | I was riding with my homies smoking on dro Talking bout all of the ladies we used to know Used to ride with, n then take um all home Sneak um through the back door so that mama wouldn't know We were young kids, living like we didn't give a shit Hang out on the porch and just smoke and spit Any given day, and any given place Getting into trouble, man what can I say Ride, and ride down the streets real slow In a car so nice that would ride real low See the girls walking so we're putting on a show With the bump in the trunk everywhere that we'd go I would ride up on some girls and say what up to the hoes Saying we could do whatever, girl ya man ain't gotta know We would do what we do and then get what we get Then head back to the crib and roll up another spliff It's like every where we roll And every where we go Get money Stacking cash on top of cash on top of cash on top of cash Every Friday we'd get in trouble Called my homie on the phone, he came over on the double Man, there's some noise that we got to make Gotta find us some fly chicks, n stay out late We went straight cruising...over to the mall Ran into a bitch I had forgotten to call Tried to play it off right, and I ran my game By the end of the night she was screaming my name But ain't nothing better than to stack some cash We do what we do and then we're chasing that ass Got stacks to the ceiling like I'm building a house If cops come, don't know what their talking about I'm a self made man riding right as I go Got my money and my baby n a beat and a flow You wanna test me, I'm the best in sight Go home and roll another, then I'm cruising just like...

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
