I'll never not be your ride, or die, alright

Let's call it what it is, it's a masterpiece

Got a whole lotta love for them city streets (Glendale!)

Tonight is the place to be

Got a big boombox and a new CD

Come on, everybody, let's tear it up

If you want mad skills, you can share with us

I want everybody to stop and stare

And you know why, it's me (Robaire!)
