Lil Yachty Let’s Start Here.

Unveiling the first collaboration between the Mableton, Georgia native, Lil Yachty and the Beaumont, Texas native Teezo Touchdown,
“​the ride-” features the two originally contrasting artists coming together for a chill, a psychedelic pop song in which the duo sings about the effects of the social stratification, leading the two to feel as though they’re on a “ride.”

The song’s lyrics make a particular reference to the social stratification system as the artists note that as they make their way up the system — “the ride” being used as a metaphor for their journey. This is particularly pointed out in Teezo’s first verse — it also makes a direct reference to the album’s cover art of important-looking people with their eyes closed.

Despite the album’s impressive rollout, prior to its official release, “​the ride-” — alongside the other thirteen songs — was unfortunately leaked in its entirety in December 2022 which Yachty responded with a now-deleted Tweet.

Lyrics

[Chorus: Lil Yachty]
Ooh, don’t ask no questions on the ride
Making eye contact is suicide, yeah
When I’m alone with my thoughts, I’m terrified
That’s why I need you here, just by my side, yeah
A quick zoom to the moon, come on and ride, yeah

[Verse 1: Teezo Touchdown]
Baby, if you scared of heights, just close your eyes
It get lonely at the top, baby, come inside
Baby, bust it open for me, don’t be shy

[Chorus: Lil Yachty]
Ooh, don’t ask no questions on the ride
Making eye contact is suicide, yeah
When I’m alone with my thoughts, I’m terrifiеd
That’s why I need you here, just by my side, yеah
A quick zoom to the moon, come on and ride, yeah

[Post-Chorus: Lil Yachty]
Fill my void (Fill my void), fill my void (Fill my void)
Fill my- (Woah, fill my)
Fill my void (Fill my void), fill my void (Fill my void)
Fill my-

[Verse 2: Teezo Touchdown & Lil Yachty]
I feel empty, riding on E
A shopping spree may fill the V, V as in void
Speaking of void, I may avoid all of my boys
That doesn’t work, is unemployed, now I’m annoyed
All of the things I once enjoyed doesn’t bring joy
It just bring noise, it just bring noise
It just bring noise, it just bring noise
It just bring noise, it just bring noise
It just bring noise, it just bring noise (Nice)

[Chorus: Lil Yachty, Teezo Touchdown & Both]
Ooh, yeah
Don’t ask no questions on the ride
Making eye contact is suicide, yeah (Suicide)
When I’m alone with my thoughts, I’m terrified
That’s why I need you here, just by my side, yeah
A quick zoom to the moon, come on and ride, yeah
A quick zoom to the moon-

[Outro: Lil Yachty & Teezo Touchdown]
Come on and ride, yeah
