Lyrical Analysis of...
East Side
- [Verse 1]
- It’s like ’09 back home up in the city
- My momma moved us out cuz our conditions was shitty
- She quit drinking she quit smoking tho she was on it heavy
- I used to cry in my room cuz I knew that shit was deadly
- The East Side yea East side I got it in my memory
- Remember them corners with cameras watching
- But in this dope game we young kids ain't stopping
- My friend killed in front of me I pray to god i'm sorry
- So much weed smoke in my house it's like rastafari
- The suburbs where I went to school these kids backyards had pools
- Mine was an alleyway saw a dead body in an alley one day
- Just simply turned and walked the other way cuz it's natural
- And they ask me why I talk about this shit so casual
- I tell em when you lose so much it becomes laughable
- And they stare at me and assume i'm admirable
- But what is their to admire when ones desire is to build an empire
- Get me outta here when i'm ready
- Been living a clean life been living steady
- These kids don't believe me well all they do is deceive me
- While all i'm trying to do is achieve me
- My cousin died in my arms now he gone
- My auntie loved her son but he's moved on
- Hook:
- The East Side yea my home
- The East side where I reside
- Verse 2:
- My auntie can't accept it she drowns in her sorrow
- I just want to borrow some money and send it to her tomorrow
- Want to move her out the projects get her a nice house in Rome
- Then she'll ask me why I bought her a beautiful home
- And all i'll say is Cause you deserve it
- Whenever I do my homework mommas says let me observe it
- She wants me to go to college do something with my life
- All my life she's been like a single wife
- But that's that shit I can't control
- Fucked up my life now i'm on parole
- I tried to rollplay gangbanged the whole day
- But that shit got old out of prison now raps my soulmate
- The girls I like they hate but that feeling makes me feel great
- Can I tell if she love me guess i'll never know
- But this the time of my life when my heart needs to be let go
- I'v seen murders i'v seen violence
- Momma yelling I never heard her my ears heard silence
- But that's shit that can only be reached by giants
- They showed defiance they showed leadership
- Maybe one day I can measure my bands with a meterstick
- That's the shit I dream about, that's the shit I read about
- I just need to see it now
