SoMo – Ride

On November 15, 2011, the same day Drake’s sophomore album Take Care hit stores, SoMo released a daunting Take Care Medley that combines select cuts from Drake’s album in an effortless succession of continuous covers. Whether shrewd marketing or happenstance, that medley has gone on to amass over 3.5 million views, a mere 150 times the current population of his hometown. As an independent R&B artist from the small town of Denison, TX, SoMo’s numerous YouTube videos, including medleys, renditions, covers, and original music, have accumulated over 30 million views and counting. In early 2013, SoMo released the highly anticipated music video for his original smash single Ride, from his 2012 debut mixtape entitled My Life. Shot and directed by Dan Gotti, the video has been viewed over 1.2 million times since it’s release. As it is shared and views continue to climb, the positive response seems to only reinforce SoMo’s artistic philosophy; “If it sounds good, people will listen.” SoMo recently concluded The Show Off Tour, his first-ever national headlining tour, and played to numerous sold out rooms across the country. Just before the tour, he released a brand new single by the same name. Show Off, produced by Mick Shultz (producer of Jeremih’s Birthday Sex and Down on Me feat. 50 Cent), was met with an incredibly positive response and is now available at iTunes and all digital retailers. Currently recording his debut album in Dallas and Los Angeles, SoMo is preparing for that release to come in the fall ahead of a 30-city national headlining tour in September.

SoMo – Ride Lyrics:
Oh, oh, oh, oh yeah
Take off those heels, lay on my bed
Whisper dirty secrets while I’m pulling on your hair
Poison in our veins, but we don’t even care
Candles dripping on your body, baby this ain’t truth or dare
Everybody wonders where we run off to
My body on your body, baby sticking like some glue
Naughty, let’s get naughty, girl it’s only one or two
The fevers fucking running, feel the heat between us two!

[Hook:]
I’m gon’ ride, I’m gon’ ride
I’m gon’ ride, I’m, I’m gon’ ride on you baby
On you lady, all night, all night!
I’m gonna take care of your body,
I’ll be gentle, don’t you scream
It’s getting hotter, make it softer,
Feel your chest on top of me.
I’m gon’ ride, I’m gon’ ride
I’m gon’ ride, I’m, I’m gon’ ride on you baby
On you lady, all night, all night!
I’m gon’ make you feel that loving,
Getting weak all in your knees.
Kiss your body from the tip-top,
All the way down to your feet!

Oh, oh, oh, and we can go slow, slow,
Yeah we can go slow, oh, oh, oh
Lay on your back, you like it right there
Don’t have to say it twice
Love, There’s nothing here to fear
Taking it back, back to where it’s clear
Rolling on and on, sounds of love are in the air!

[Hook:]
I’m gon’ ride, I’m gon’ ride
I’m gon’ ride, I’m, I’m gon’ ride on you baby
On you lady, all night, all night!
I’m gonna take care of your body,
I’ll be gentle, don’t you scream
It’s getting hotter, make it softer,
Feel your chest on top of me.
I’m gon’ ride, I’m gon’ ride
I’m gon’ ride, I’m, I’m gon’ ride on you baby
On you lady, all night, all night!
I’m gon’ make you feel that loving,
Getting weak all in your knees.
Kiss your body from the tip-top,
All the way down to your feet!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh yeah

The sun’s coming up, oh
You’re on my side, oh
I rub your thighs, oh
You look in my eyes, oh
And I just see the skies (see the skies)
I’m so high but I ain’t smoked yet,
I’m just coming down from this!

[Hook:]
I’m gon’ ride, I’m gon’ ride
I’m gon’ ride, I’m, I’m gon’ ride on you baby
On you lady, all night, all night!
I’m gonna take care of your body,
I’ll be gentle, don’t you scream
It’s getting hotter, make it softer,
Feel your chest on top of me.
I’m gon’ ride, I’m gon’ ride
I’m gon’ ride, I’m, I’m gon’ ride on you baby
On you lady, all night, all night!
I’m gon’ make you feel that loving,
Getting weak all in your knees.
Kiss your body from the tip-top,
All the way down to your feet!
