To "ride for" someone in the literal sense means to ride
in the car as the shooter during a
drive by shooting. In the figurative sense, it means to support and stand by a friend until the very end, through any
obstacle.
In Lyrics: Lil Wayne's "Sky's The Limit / Ride For
My Niggas": "
you know that ima ride for my motherfuckin niggas, most likely ima die with my finger on the trigger, don't worry bout mine, ima grind til i get it, and tellin all my niggas that the sky is the limit."
In a sentence: That fool was talking slick about my brother, so I had to stomp him out.
Everybody knows I ride for my niggas.
