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 wanna 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
I've seen the best of times
I've seen the worst of times
'Been around and I've taken my chances
(But) I could never be tied down
Too many questions--not enough answers
Then I laid eyes on you
I knew right there and then
This would be more than a passing encounter
My fate is bound to yours
I've found a cause right here
And if this is the last place God made
And yours is the last face I see
Just feeling close to you
That's good enough for me
We've seen the best of times
We've seen the worst of times
Been through hell and high water together
Diamond bright and tear stained mem'ries
These are the times I'll remember forever
If you believe in me--like I believe in you
Without a care for the why or the wherefore
I will be there for you
And you'll be there for me
And If this is the last place God made
And yours is the last face I see
Just feeling close to you
It's good enough for me
If this is the last place God made
You know it's the only place I want to be
Just feeling close to you
That's good enough for me
If this is the last place God made
You know it's the only place I want to be
Just feeling close to you
It's good enough for me
