Eastside Story |
| Yo, young nigga, hustling on his corner, told his Momma it’s his way of life |
| She told him, 'stop,' knew that he wasn’t gonna, all she could do is pray at |
| night |
| He had a homie, knew him since a baby, they called each other alikes |
| Hustled together, pistol in they jeans, fitted and they favourite nikes |
| They had weed, had crack, had speed, they could even get you crystal meth |
| Had a crew, some dead, some in jail, they the only two niggas left |
| A old man walks by and he asks, 'why you young brothers dealing death?' |
| 'Old man, we from the school of hard knocks, and our teachers didn’t give a F' |
| The eastside, y’all |
| We struggle hard on this side of the tracks |
| Watch where you step, cause it might hold you back |
| You can even get snatched up, just like that |
| Can’t sleep, I got worry |
| But it’s ok, cause |
| It’s my eastside story |
| A little girl, only 14 years old, doing things you don’t want to know |
| She got a mother, but her money’s always going to them dudes on the corner, |
| though |
| Momma’s addicted to something evil and wicked, got evicted just a month ago |
| Little girl in the hotel living, watching her parent become a ho |
| She say, 'Momma, I know you selling your body' she ain’t ever one to bite her |
| tongue |
| Her mother crying, hiding behind lies in fear of what her daughter might become |
| They say the fruit don’t fall that far from the tree she was like a plum |
| She wasn’t ripe, but she was just right, you know them Johns like them young |
| The eastside, dig |
| Old man, standing on the corner where them young niggas make bread |
| Give him advice, Vietnam vet, came home to a fake leg |
| Say, 'young brothers, why you out here dealing death?' |
| you already know what |
| they said |
| He hobbled off thinking I’mma pray for them, thank God that they ain’t dead |
| He saw a hooker in front of the hotel, thought without her I’ll be just fine |
| She said, 'old man, I got just what you need, a soft bed, and some good wine' |
| He took his shades off, his pupils were grey, she thought, 'man, |
| this dude look blind' |
| He looked past her, right to her daughter, said, 'how much for a good time' |
| I’m from the eastside |
