South Side

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Shing02] Just another lazy afternoon I'm tired of being bored, it's time to take the board out Hit the south side Strap it on the top or slide it in the back seat I'm the driver, she chilling in the taxi, glancing Over the freeway, feeling kind of lucky not going to an office Instead going straight to the point, Diamond Head Maybe on the way, pick up a cup of coffee and bread Or order some soda and poke bowl, whatever the feels Extra protein and carbs, gotta burn to build The temple of the body, feeling godly I'll be back again 'morrow morning, probably [Chorus: Shing02] On the south side When you're driving on the south side South side When you're cruising on the town side [Verse 2: Shing02] It's still a mystery to me how the moon pulls the body of water And causes the tides that we ride And the cycle signifies the womb of a woman Life is a common tie that exemplifies The fact we're all connected, not just in the physical form But also in the tethering state of mystical Born from a single cell into a full-fledged being Human is a name as the title is fleeing Surrounded by cobalt blue and emerald green A blank slate of mind, nothing in between Me and the ocean, except for the piece underneath my feet Such a pure retreat [Chorus: Shing02, Common & Phife Dawg] On the south side When you're riding on the south side South side When you're cruising on the town side I gotta go Can't forget Southside Cruisin' Southside Can't forget Southside So, uh [Verse 3: Shing02] It's the mellower shore for sure Don't get it twisted, though You can get pounded like dough I lost my keys once out in the blue She ripped it out of my pocket, nothing I could do Carried a nine-six back to my friends And I had to call a cab just to go get a spare Break into my own pad, a messy affair Hitch a ride back, and I'm right back on square One where I started earlier in the day Fast-forward a few hours, learned something today, hey It ain't easy to make it look easy Struggle is real, but the weather breezy [Chorus: Shing02, Common & Phife Dawg] On the south side When you're chilling on the south side South side When you're cruising on the town side I got it made Can't forget Southside
