SJ - Eastside Ride lyrics

[Verse I] Talkin' 'bout that East (EASTSIDE!) That's where I'm from Raised on the 'line, it's the beat of my drum 4 n***as on the block, that's my homies for life Never was a gangsta homie, but respect is stripes Most of my east side people's is a thug or a k**er or a dealer I don't mess with that, but who's mind is iller? Sicker than I ever been with God is my witness Still goin' for the prize so I'm bound to win it I don't do a lot of talkin' boy I'd rather be walkin' Hooded up with my fists clenched ready for some boxin' Or chillin' with my homies on the court scorin' buckets I'm aight, but I get better every summer, heh I'll never forget nights when I almost got shot Or the times we got robbed, yeah it hurts a lot But I got it all back and then some Just a picture of my rear view, life's log [Chorus] We 'bouta take an Eastside Ride through my city Sharonline to the Brooks, the Rancho, ya feel me? La la Land to the Vic's, Plaza View, ESA Shout out to all my homies that's reppin' the LK Wait a minute, dawg, so come on, hop up in my ride Take you on my journey through the Eastside now So come on, hop up in my ride Take you on my journey through the Eastside [Verse II] I speak explicit, surrounded by lies and fast women On the grind, but I'm just tryna handle business Crack addicts with bad habits, they asthmatic In the mentality that they aim to live in That's why I only roll with a chosen few Who share my dream makin' moves as a soulful youth It's what I'm born t' do, and I saw my direction of Comin' up on this Eastside Ride, what'chu expecting' boi? We gets it crackin' in the summer (summer) Hustlin' for money, lookin' for honeys, got the Escalades bumping' It's either Caddys or Caprices, g sh** Respresentin' the Motor Capital like the G6 We gets together at the Sharonline Reunion The coolest celebration on the block, come thru So you can see how we gets down as a family Mess with one, the whole side might be ya enemy [Chorus] [Verse III] Man I done had fun on the east side It's where I was birthed at, where I had my first Jack Gettin' into trouble with the homies, especially Rich It's so crazy how we came from this, I mean Goin' t' Baily Park, playing ball, getting broads, skipping school Tryna be cool, so many memories, dude With G-$wagg, Danny, Rich, Sy, Slinky, & Rico T' startin' '93 with Jamie, now we on the road Who could forget the times at East Middle School? I'm a Golden Bear for life, man f** a Panther dude (chyeah) I use'ta work in the LK with my grandpa Fixin' all the houses for tenants, it was his sandbox McGuffey Center was a huge part of my life With Drew and Deon, it's so many people that I can't write them but Y'all's in my heart, I promise I'm bringing' back to the 'hood when I'm out of the college [Chorus]
