Ridin' is a song by American rapper Chamillionaire, released as the second and final single from his debut studio album The Sound of Revenge (2005). The song, produced by Play-N-Skillz, features a guest appearance from fellow American rapper Krayzie Bone, of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. Its title is often incorrectly assumed to be "Ridin' Dirty", due to the chorus. The lyrics concern racial profiling and police brutality, as well as the stereotyping of African-Americans driving a vehicle with drugs or other contraband on the inside ("Riding dirty").[1]

Key Lyrics

Law's on patrol and you know they hate me

Music turned all the way up into the maximum

I got speakers, some niggas tryna jack for some

But we packin' somethin' and what we have for 'em

We'll have a nigga locked up in the maximum

Security cell, I'm grippin' oak (Oak)

Music loud and I'm tippin' slow (Slow)

Twin's steady twistin' like, "Hit this though!"

Police pull up right behind and it's in his throat

The windows down, got to stop pollution

CD change, niggas like, "Who is that producin'?"

That's the Play-N-Skillz when we out and cruisin'

Got warrants in every city except Houston but I still ain't losin'
