[Intro: Soft piano keys, vinyl crackle, slow 808 heartbeat] [Male MC, spoken, low] Straight wild... Vol. one, track four... Yeah... This one for the ones that stayed... [Hook: Male R&B sung, melodic, warm] When the lights come on and the crowd goes home (goes home) Who's still standin' by the door? (by the door) That's my day ones, that's my riders true (riders true) Three in the mornin', I'm callin' you (callin' you) [Verse 1: Male MC, soft flow, half-sung] Club emptied out, chairs on the tables, Bartender countin', turnin' off the cables. Outside it's cold, but the engine warm, Who's gonna ride when the night turn storm? Not the ones that loved me when the bottles popped, Not the ones that screamed my name when the bass dropped. It's the quiet ones, the ones that never asked, Showed up with a jacket and a tank of gas. [Hook: Male R&B sung, melodic, warm] When the lights come on and the crowd goes home (goes home) Who's still standin' by the door? (by the door) That's my day ones, that's my riders true (riders true) Three in the mornin', I'm callin' you (callin' you) [Verse 2: Male MC, emotional, deeper] Pour one to the sky for the ones we lost, They with us tonight, yeah, whatever the cost. Candle in the window, picture on the dash, Every mile I drive, I'm drivin' through the past. Day ones know my flaws, day ones know my past, Day ones never left when the money didn't last. If I fall tomorrow, they gon' hold the fall, That's the whole definition, that's the straight wild, y'all. [Hook: Male R&B sung, layered harmonies] When the lights come on and the crowd goes home (goes home) Who's still standin' by the door? (by the door) That's my day ones, that's my riders true (riders true) Three in the mornin', I'm callin' you (callin' you) [Bridge: Beat drops to keys only, spoken, intimate] [Male MC, spoken] So if you got somebody... That answer at three in the mornin'... Call 'em right now... Tell 'em they your day ones... I'll wait... Yeah... I'll wait... [Soft piano solo, 8 bars, vinyl crackle] [Final Hook: Stacked harmonies, soft ad-libs underneath] When the lights come on and the crowd goes home (goes home) Who's still standin' by the door? (by the door) That's my day ones, that's my riders true (riders true) Three in the mornin', I'm callin' you (callin' you) Three in the mornin'... I'm callin' you... Three in the mornin'... I'm callin' you... [Outro: Keys fade, vinyl crackle, low ad-libs] Day ones... riders... Three in the mornin'... Straight wild... forever... [End: Single piano note, silence]
