This is crazy. Just had a dream about someone leaving me the keys to the black Mercedes,
More fantasy or coulda make believe, I pull it next to a crowd of ladies
Then pick the one that I want to be with for the night, and her two friends, Maybe I
can impress the girls with the speed, now let’s see
Drop to the 1st and nobody no feel the motion, Still the wind a blow thru dem hair now
2nd gear they’re beginning to get the notion, Finally we’re getting somewhere now
Number 3 and the gyal dem a look upon me, Realizing me have the credentials
At 4 even now dem want more? Move to the 5th, we still got potential
CHORUS
Drop the gears in Overdrive, Grip the wheels in Overdrive,
Push the ride in Overdrive, Mek her feel it, Overdrive
No more dreaming, I’ve been the one to give the gyal the ride of all their life and I’m not deceiving
Just ask the three gals who spin the wheel the other night, cause I must be leaving
More things to see and places to be I pull away with the black paint gleaming
Gyal know the ride is like VIP, now let’s see
1st gyal was a brazen wildcat. Love how me grip the wheel and drive stick
2nd gyal telling me she love that Rizmo track, she wan rewind it
3rd gyal was a bit pretentious, Gwaan like Zulu no pique she interest
All of them get The Ride tremendous, They’re exhausted and I dare say impressed
CHORUS
Drop the gears in Overdrive, Grip the wheels in Overdrive,
Push the ride in Overdrive, Mek her feel it, Overdrive
Gyal dem love it when you bend the corners and swerve, Make dem lose control
Possibilities deh bout with every new curve, Made dem lose control
Drop the top and me shift the ride in high gear, Make dem lose control
Resolutions for all your troubles right here, Make dem lose control
I’ve got the world on a string now, Look ‘pon the gyal with her hand out the window
Watch how we a ride out deh with no form of direction, the way that the wind blows
Back seat dem a play the tambourine, Gyal inna front she pull ‘pon guitar string
Hard times and the gyal know what I mean, Jump in the ride and let’s do the damn thing
CHORUS
Drop the gears in Overdrive, Grip the wheels in Overdrive,
Push the ride in Overdrive, Mek her feel it, Overdrive
Daylight gleaming, like 12 O’Clock I’m looking at the watch, I’m waking up to the cell phone screaming
Don’t know the room and don’t know exactly what a gwaan ‘til I get that feeling
Check around the suite and then me see the three gyals asleep in the nude still dreaming
Gyal know The Ride is like extacy, now let’s see.
Drop to the 1st and nobody no feel the motion, Still the wind a blow thru dem hair now
2nd gear they’re beginning to get the notion, Finally we’re getting somewhere now
Number 3 and the gyal dem a look upon me, Realizing me have the credentials
At 4 even now dem want more? Move to the 5th, we still got potential
CHORUS
Drop the gears in Overdrive, Grip the wheels in Overdrive,
Push the ride in Overdrive, Mek her feel it, Overdrive
Gyal dem love it when you bend the corners and swerve, Make dem lose control
Possibilities deh bout with every new curve, Made dem lose control
And just so you know what a gwaan. Large Up Rizmo and Dj Babylon
