South Side's a town with a lot of hustle and bustle 
A kid got stuck for a buck under the trussle 
Died with pride he thought he had a big heart muscle 
He fought back but the attack was brutal 
Futile to his survival and the event that his crew will 
seek revenge on the assailants who rushed him 
They crushed him snuffed the life all out of his body 
He had friends a Benz with rims by Gotti 
Guys wanted to beat him, girls wanted to greet him 
Kids wanted to be him when they saw him in the Coliseum 
Lots of cash hoppin fast on the Avenue 
Pump up your system loud, and he'll laugh at you 
Cause under the Tec is a gooseneck 
and a Glock 9, when he stops at the light 
Pumpin rides into the top in 

South Side (repeat 10X) 
I grew up on the rough side of town, kids play stick-up 
Playing the game of survival going Uptown to pick up 
Supportin the taste, with leathers and bamboos and black Timbs 
Benz parked, at the curb while puffin herb (word) 
Cruisin, one-six-oh, with the lean 
sportin BV's on the Beamer with the Italian wintergreen interior 
while the Alpine pump, you get open 
Hoppin hopin to catch them all open, girls scopin as you unlock 
Now you gotta go gotta go 
Hoppin down Merit to get back to the four-oh 
Back in the days Queens never got props 
but South Side had citywide respect plus knockouts 
Forty, Baisley, Suptin, Merit 
Queens wack step back I don't want to hear it I'm from 

South Side (16X, scratching intermixed) 
Projectiles are fittin, inside of a clip and 
personally there's no particular name that's written 
on the side of a slug, damn it's bugged 
when pretty women begin to bend over a drug 
She used to be the type of girl that was flashy 
Now the scars from the concrete make her knees look ashy 

Cops constantly stay on high speed chases 
Trying to remember faces from previous arrest cases 
Bulletproof vest is the hottest items to invest in 
shots fired one was hit with the hollow-tip and it caved his chest in 
Kids are gathered around him coffin quiet 
Softly they're standin cause there's baby left as an orphan 
Cause the life of an illegal entrepreneur 
is more than a rag-a-ma-jaga a Scorpio buy my cure 

South Side (repeat 4X) 
Your man wants to get rid of ya 
Cause now you're the number one neighborhood pharmeceutical distributor 
How could you ever expect this 
from your man that he would plant product inside of your Lexus 
Today you're having lunch with a cutie 
You gotta hunch you're the type of brother that's moody 
So instead you drive a sterling, lime green 
to match the colors inside of your eightball sherling 
So today he escapes fate, to live another day 
to pick up scale weight inside of a ghetto 

Inside of the ghetto, cars gather together 
Gettin ready to hop, under the summer weather 
Armor All glistenin in the sun, it's four cars 
and they're each two deep, but you still find it necessary to carry a gun 
Hoppin to the beach, with a Jeep 
full of chinese cut broads passin by perpetrators 
perpetratin frauds, you're on the beach, playin cards 
Thinkin about, pickin up a convertible Saab 
As the sun sets, you all jet inside of the ride 
But your mentality flips, cause you gotta get back to the 

South Side (repeat 16X)
