Ride Wit Me (song)

"**Ride Wit Me**" is a song by American rapper Nelly that Slayyyter covered. It was released on August 1st, 2019 through SoundCloud.

## Background

Slayyyter first teased the cover by sharing a snippet on her Instagram story. She later released it at random on August 1st, 2019, along with the cover art and producer credits on her social media accounts. Currently, it remains as a SoundCloud exclusive song, likely due to copyright.

## Critical Reception

Upon its release, *PAPER Magazine* praised the cover, stating, "though she keeps most of it the same, in true Slayyyter fashion, there are cheeky, little nods to her own lyrical stylings scattered throughout the cover — not to mention a glossy, updated backbeat in the chorus". They also called it a "contemporary classic".

## Lyrics

**[Intro: Nelly]**

Mmm

Where they at? Where they at?

Where they at? Where they at?

Where they at? Where they at?

Where they at? Come on, now

**[Chorus: Slayyyter & Nelly]**

If you want to go and take a ride with me

We 3-wheelin' in the four with the gold D's

Oh, why do I live this way?

(Hey, must be the money!)

If you want to go and get high with me

Smoke an L in the back of the Benz-E

Oh, why must I feel this way?

(Hey, must be the money!)

**[Verse: Slayyyter]**

In the club on the late night, feeling right

Lookin', tryin' to spot some real nice

Lookin' for a little shorty I noticed so that I can take home

(I can take home)

Since I was 18, I had an attitude

19, I was snotty, actin' real rude

But I always been the freaky little whore from the 314

I peep summin' comin' towards me on the dance floor

Sexy and real slow (hey)

Saying she was peeping and I dig the last video

"So Slayyyter, can we go?" How could I tell her no?

Her measurements were 36-25-34

I like the way you brush your hair

I like those stylish clothes you wear

I like the way the light hit the ice and glare

And I can see you movin' from way over there (yeah)

**[Chorus: Slayyyter & Nelly]**

If you want to go and take a ride with me

We 3-wheelin' in the four with the gold D's

Oh, why do I live this way?

(Hey, must be the money!)

If you want to go and get high with me

Smoke an L in the back of the Benz-E

Oh, why must I feel this way?

(Hey, must be the money!)

If you want to go and take a ride with me

We 3-wheelin' in the four with the gold D's

Oh, why do I live this way?

(Hey, must be the money!)

If you want to go and get high with me

Smoke an L in the back of the Benz-E

Oh, why must I feel this way?

(Hey, must be the money!)

**[Bridge: Slayyyter]**

I know somethin' you don't know

And I've got somethin' to tell ya

You won't believe how many people straight doubted the flow

Most said that I was a failure

But now the same bitches askin' me for dough

And I'm yellin', "I can't help ya"

"But Slayyyter can we get tickets to your next show?"

Hell no

**[Chorus: Slayyyter & Nelly]**

If you want to go and take a ride with me

We 3-wheelin' in the four with the gold D's

Oh, why do I live this way?

(Hey, must be the money!)

If you want to go and get high with me

Smoke an L in the back of the Benz-E

Oh, why must I feel this way?

(Hey, must be the money!)
