Low Rider Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All my friends know the low rider
(Yeah)
The low rider is a little higher
(Yeah)

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]
The low rider drives a little slower
Low rider, is a real goer

[Interlude]
Hey

[Verse 3]
Low rider knows every street, yeah
Low rider, is the one to meet, yeah

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 4]
Low rider don't use no gas now
The low rider don't drive too fast

[Instrumental Interlude]
[Outro]
Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip and see
Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip with me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Possibly War’s best known song, it’s an homage to the Chicano culture practice of hydraulically hot-rodding classic cars — extends the image to a lifestyle. The song was also heavily influenced by the gas crisis that the United States was suffering at the time (i.e. in the late 1970s). The song’s most distinguishable feature is its driving bass line, which is present for nearly all of the song. It also ends with a siren-like noise that then becomes a saxophone solo – which years later would inspire the sample that drives Flo Rida’s “GDFR (Goin' Down For Real)”.
