Blacktop burning underneath us, midnight tangled in my hair, your shadow moving close beside me like it’s always belonged there. No promises dressed up in silver, no pretty words we have to prove— just your heartbeat through the thunder and the way you never move. [Pre-Chorus] When the road turns unforgiving, when the warning lights ignite, I don’t need you there behind me— I need you riding by my side. [Chorus] Ride or die— not a phrase we throw around, it’s who remains when every bridge is falling to the ground. Side by side, through the smoke and flashing lights, you’re not just here to share the road— you’re here to share the fight. No matter where the darkness leads, you never ask me why. You know the wildest part of me— and still you ride or die. [Verse 2] I was never made for cages, you were never built to chase. You don’t try to hold the throttle or decide which road I take. You just read the way I’m leaning, feel the danger in the turn, and when something tries to break me, you become the steady burn. [Pre-Chorus] When my past comes like a siren, when the ghosts begin to rise, you don’t reach to take the wheel— you hold your line and match my stride. [Chorus] Ride or die— not a phrase we throw around, it’s who remains when every bridge is falling to the ground. Side by side, through the smoke and flashing lights, you’re not just here to share the road— you’re here to share the fight. No matter where the darkness leads, you never ask me why. You know the wildest part of me— and still you ride or die. [Bridge] If the engine loses thunder, if the road runs out ahead, if the whole night closes around us and the sky burns warning red— I’ll be there when yours stops turning. You’ll be there when mine runs dry. Not because we own each other— because we choose each other’s side. [Final Chorus] Ride or die— with the moonlight on our skin, two restless souls who found a road that finally lets them in. Side by side, let the whole horizon fly. You never tried to tame my fire— you only matched it stride for stride. Whatever waits beyond the dark, we’ll meet it eye to eye. You know the wildest part of me— and that’s the reason why… You’re my ride. You’re my fire. You’re my ride or die. [Outro] No chains. No alibis. Just your shadow next to mine— ride or die.
