Story Behind The Song
My first trip to Las Vegas as an adult was an eye-opener. It was mid-Summer, the women were scantilly clad and it seemed like everyone was there to just be free and let it all hang out for a few days. Of course the "Let It Ride" statement is also an obv

Lyrics
Intro (8 bars)
Yeah! - Ha Ha Ha HA!
Feels Good Don't It?
Big Vik!
2 Drunk
You know how it is
When you be in that moment
You gotta let the feelin' flow
And you just gotta Let It Ride - check it!
Rap 1 (8 bars)
I spent the weekend in Vegas, Sin City
Chicks were so pretty I remember so clearly
This lil' betty with the Coach bag waggin'
Glass heels flashin' high fashion
And you know Vegas in the Summertime, hotter than shit
But when it come to fine dimes she was hot as it get
I know hella heads be checkin' and a lot of 'em spit
But let me end the speculation none's tighter than Vik
Listen, I know the way a lot of ladies like to tease men
But please, I can't believe the way you squeezed them
36 Cs in the tube top's doin' a lot
Your pretty figure make a nigga think of doin' a lot
She played it off cool and aloof
She spoke about a party by the pool with the Maloufs at the Palms
That was on the night's agenda
Sheeit, Like we don't know the way tonight's gon' end up (BUT)
I went along it was a crazy scene
Naked women smellin' like chlorine and promethazine
When I arrived she was already high
Blowin' on a pair of dice, she said "you feel lucky tonight?"
Chorus 1 (8 bars)
Oooh, Let It Ride
Let it ride now baby--my baby, it's so crazy
Oooh, I wanna be your lady
Even if it's just for one night (Let it Ride)
Oooh, Let It Ride
Let it ride now baby--my baby, it's so crazy
Oooh, I wanna be your lady
Even if it's just tonight
Rap 2 (20 bars)
Then I cruised the coast of the Pacific
Blue hues to be specific had views lookin' terrific
And speakin' of sights that fell easy on my eyes
This lil' breezy caught my eye she was so fly
The way she shook her backside she
Kinda remind me of the chick from the Black Eyed Peas
But she was from the tropical land of Guatemala
With flava that made a playa wanna holla check it mami
This game that I got it's a lot like the tropics
Ya hot when I drop it ya wet when I stop it, PLUS
The sticky feelin' make you wanna shed linens--"what?"
Come out your clothes I mean--she start grinnin'
That's when the evening got hoppin' the way I planned
It was poppin' we started sippin' Hypnotiq and got romantic
And when it was all over we decided to walk
Out on the deck under the stars she started to talk
About the future? Look here sweetie you're kinda cute but
This is deepa than we both should be goin' Let's live in the moment
And since the moment got us both feelin' right
Let's let it flow until the feelin' subside until then just Let It Ride
Chorus 2 (8 bars)
Oooh, Let It Ride
Let it ride now baby--my baby, it's so crazy
Oooh, I wanna be your lady
Even if it's just for one night (Let it Ride)
Oooh, Let It Ride
Let it ride now baby--my baby, it's so crazy
Oooh, I wanna be your lady
Even if it's just tonight
Rap 3 (20 bars)
So now I'm back in The Town it feels good don't it?
Oakland, California pimpin' like you should homie
I reminisce on back in the day
Me and Fi scoopin' shorties at Festival At The Lake
Thought I'd spin the block just for old time's sake
That's when I seen her skatin' by on some rollerblades
She had the body of an athlete, trimmed and toned
Curves were so feminine, sexy and grown - Come on!
Now maybe it's my non-chalance
The way I spit the game with the confi-dance
The way I set the mood with the ambiance
It had her so entranced and thinkin' I'm the answer
Honey, come and take a ride or somethin'
Just for fun, we could cruise down Highway 1
We could slide down The Bay spend the day in Monterey
Talk sweet by the beach and watch the seagulls play
Have dinner by the water she said wait!
She lived by The Lake she was a chef she liked to bake cakes
She liked to make steaks that's great let's make a date
She hopped in the truck and said why wait? Let's do it today!
Chorus 3 (8 bars)
Oooh, Let It Ride
Let it ride now baby--my baby, it's so crazy
Oooh, I wanna be your lady
Even if it's just for one night (Let it Ride)
Oooh, Let It Ride
Let it ride now baby--my baby, it's so crazy
Oooh, I wanna be your lady
Even if it's just tonight
Rideout (16 bars)
