Ride Or Die - Eli Jackson

(Verse 1)
Born in Eureka – eighty-six, August night
Ferndale kid who learned early how to fight
Hard hands, no chance, never saw the light
To stay alive you bend the rules or make ’em right

Paper routes and mowing lawns for every dime
One mistake too much, blue lights took me in this time
Fifteen years old and they locked the door
Parents turned away – said they don’t know me anymore

(Pre-Chorus)
Got motor oil pumping in my veins
If I fall, I rise again – break the chains

(Chorus)
Ride or die – that’s how I roll
Two wheels heading for a brand-new dawn
Scars on my skin are medals I earned
Devils Diciples – loyalty sworn
Ride or die – I won’t back down
Even when the whole damn world keeps dragging me down
I hit the ground but now I rise
Ride or die – Eli Jackson still alive!

(Verse 2)
Wrench in hand, the workshop was my home
Brothers, bikes – sparks flying off the chrome
Prospect up to patch – felt like I belonged
But every road of steel has a price when things go wrong

Enemies came to take our crown – we stood tall
Fists flew – one man falls and that was all
Busted – locked away in a concrete tomb
But I survived, kept my heart fueled by the moon

(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah, I’ve sinned – but I still stand
Stronger now, ready to take command

(Chorus)
Ride or die – that’s how I roll
Two wheels heading for a brand-new dawn
Scars on my skin are medals I earned
Devils Diciples – loyalty sworn
Ride or die – I won’t back down
Even when the whole damn world keeps dragging me down
I hit the ground but now I rise
Ride or die – Eli Jackson still alive!

(Bridge – Shouted)
Touch my bike – you pay the price!
Talk trash ’bout my brothers – I’ll roll the dice!
Whiskey, smoke, and ink in my skin
I built my life loud – and I’ll scream again!

(Breakdown – Melodic)
Lima by my side – new world in sight
Los Santos calling – freedom in the night
I know where I come from, where I’ll ride
Not perfect… but alive!

(Final Chorus – Double Tempo)
Ride or die – that’s how I roll
Fire blazing as I take control
Lost it all but now I rise
Devils Diciples – forever in my mind
Ride or die – won’t fade away
Road in my eyes – I’m here to stay
I hit the ground but now I rise
Ride or die – Eli Jackson still alive!

(Final Shout)
Eli Jackson – still alive!
