Eastside

Drag Season
Hey Mr. Wilson!

Uh
I'm from the Eastside
Been this way ever since a knee high
Where I had to learn to play to keep mine
Where the killers catchin' bodies in they free time, hmm

Some don't speak my lingo, ain't no hearin' me
I keep my faith fully loaded, ain't no fear in me
Ain't no tag that's on my soul that says for clearance, see
I'd rather be up in my bag than be in the streets
Comin' where I'm from was a sight to see
Life was a movie shot in focus, let me write this treatment
Everything ain't what it seems and looks are quite deceiving
A fiend would say the screen I swear you might believe it

Yea, yea, yea

Poor Lil' Lonnie sittin' in the middle of the trap wit' a dream and a hope
I ain't never sold no dope but the oldheads' round here guarantee seen it befo'
I don't wanna slum no mo', gettin' to the fetty 'cause my mom ain't raise no hoe
Had to duck cops on the way to the store
Had to duck shots on my way to the glow, hey!
Belair Road Cedonia crazy, they don't wanna clear no smoke
Huh, Boosie, Weezy, Gucci, Gotti, I came up on those
Ay, make a flip out next to nothin', you reap what you sow
Just be sure to never have to let ya baby mother know

Another nigga brought up under section eight
The theory of a silver spoon to me don't resonate
It ain't nothin', science fiction 'bout that yellow tape
Outside is where I found the type of glow that never fade

Young Amiri Baraka wit' the serenade
Rudeboy I'm still writin' let me turn the page, you heard me?
Key be to lock when you move in silence
Understand El Boogie non-violent

Clean off the porch with a tank on E
Young brave heart nothin' like a geek
Quick to kick knowledge but don't like preaching
Naughty By Nature, OPP
Other than my GF box, tea I got in my pot, ain't a damn thing sweet
They obsolete, know the campaigns deep
Food ain't right if the fam' can't eat

That boy be rockin' like he Charles Dutton
Since a pup I been makin' my rounds
City slickin' highly melaninated
Nigga somewhere ducked off in the county
You want to get Jada Pinkett down to set it off to keep the bum broads from around me
Belly of the beast is where they had found me
Countin' me out, you need to recount it

I'm from the Eastside
Been this way ever since a knee high
Where I had to learn to play to keep mine
Where the killers catchin' bodies in they free time, hmm
