[Intro – Male voice, gritty]
Yeah…
Cruisin’ down the block, Raider cap low
Ain’t no love in these streets, fool, ya know?
---
[Verse 1]
Rollin’ with my locs in a 6-4 Chevy
Gun on my lap, and my hand stay steady
Talk that talk, get chalked on the curb
Where I’m from, respect ain’t just a word
Southside creepin’, mask on face
Chrome on my hip, just in case
Got no time for a snitch or a rat
Say the wrong word, and it’s click-clack-blat!

[Hook – Female voice, vocoder fx]
Ruthless ride, we don’t play
Nighttime falls, we make ’em pay
Westcoast deep, we ride or die
Eye for an eye, till the day we fry
---
[Verse 2]
Catch me in the alley where the deals go down
OG in the game, still wear the crown
Talkin’ loyalty, hustle, pain and pride
Got homies doin’ time, still holdin’ it tight
Stripes on my name, earned in fire
I spit real heat, not a SoundCloud liar
Respect the game or stay out my lane
'Cause fools get smoked for a dollar and a chain
---
[Hook – Female voice, vocoder fx]
Ruthless ride, we don’t play
Nighttime falls, we make ’em pay
Westcoast deep, we ride or die
Eye for an eye, till the day we fry
---
[Verse 3]
Roll call for the soldiers lost in the war
Names on the wall, now we even the score
Every night’s a gamble, dice in hand
But I ain’t never fold, I just take that stand
Look—life in the hood ain't sweet like pie
You either ride or you run, no question why
No script, just scars and criminal ties
And a heart gone cold under Cali skies
---
[Bridge – Male voice, low & reflective]
Mama cried when I left that day
Told me death or jail’s the only way
But I made my path with a ruthless code
Steel in my soul, and a heart that’s froze
---
[Hook – Female voice, vocoder fx]
Ruthless ride, we don’t play
Nighttime falls, we make ’em pay
Westcoast deep, we ride or die
Eye for an eye, till the day we fry
---
[Outro – Male voice, cold & echoey]
This ain’t just music…
This the sound of the struggle…
Welcome to Ruthless Side…
Where silence speaks louder than prayers...
