Lyrics:
(Jorge Mikell)
Listen up because we talking bout your safety.
These some rules for your B-I-K-E.
Wear a helmet when you biking on the regular.
Snap chat later homie get up off that cellular.
Intersection's where I'm yielding for the traffic.
Looking both ways just to prevent me from crashing.
Stay alert and try to turn it to a habit.
These some bike tricks when you work your bike magic.
In my lane I ride the same as the vehicles.
Why is that? Cuz I'm tryna be predictable.
Bright clothes so I can always stay visible.
Looking left and right will keep cars in your visual.
Stay in your lane, stay in your lane.
When you ride, stay in your lane.
Stay in your lane, stay in your lane.
When you ride, stay in your lane.
(Adarah Hale)
Windy City got bikes
You need a bike? Get a Divvy.
Bike frame pretty trendy.
We poppin' wheelies, yeah.
School days too long to switch lanes
Slow down, for light change.
In time, the signs change, wow.
So I keep my focus,
Watching for cars and locals
Safety first, pads and helmet
Keeping me in motion
Minds we keep ‘em open
Knowing anything can happen
When your bike is coasting.
Watch out, look how we rollin.
Stay in your lane, stay in your lane.
When you ride, stay in your lane.
Stay in your lane, stay in your lane.
When you ride, stay in your lane.
(Rio)
Don't ride ya bike on the phone.
Make that call later, wait until you get home.
Better see you when them street lights come on
When you ride at night trying to make it home
Another thing please:
Strap your helmet up,
Hope your slowing up,
And make sure your lights flash.
When you leave the house
I just gotta ask, is safety first?
Hope you're riding on the right path.
(Maalik)
I ride, I will ride 'til no one can get me
The wind's by my side Fast as my feet can get me.
