West Side Story (feat. Eva Rawlings)

West side Best kind Came from zero Hometown hero I'm just a youngin' from the edge of the west side Through the roughest moments we had way more than enough so we can get by Grind so I'll have r-é-u-s-s-i I'd rather go hammer and get a tech than squeezing hammers letting TEC's fly I chose to throw different kinds of projectiles While weathering the storm, waiting for the bus by the Best Buy I'm very confident to reach the top, so I guess I Can't, look down to haters as I'm tryna keep my head high The seeker of proof, the reader of truth I'm shaking up courts, striking me pen, heating up booths Where I'm from? They snatching your kicks if they seeing that's new I guess I'm thankful that at my size I couldn't easily find shoes, yeah They recognize me when they see me walk through Family sees me grow and say I ain't believing that's you Magic carpeted my way into the game and that's true They had to let a lad in without the need of a boo Been a long time coming You wasn't there with us when we was down, stop fronting I'm handing the rock to see what my status amounts And if they rush more opps, better start running They don't want war again, stop ducking The story spoken, you can read and it's real Nowadays it's all cap, we ain't believing them tales Youngin's in my city idolize and need me as well How would I look if I actually had to leave and then failed? From the west side With my day ones that's the best kind Took concentration but I came from zero Hometown hero My God I thought I would be Stuck on this block And now I'm off living my best life But I'm still from the west side I've come way to far with my men To let any negative energy mess with my plans Divinity complex when mentioning my stance Going crazy with the mic like Dennis in last dance Thinking you can outdo me? 'Gon be a long night IPhone X, they light it up if it's on sight Come alive at night just like a porch light Real one, written all over me like it's Off-White And we don't mess with you fraud types Squad full of tigers and in our eyes Y'all zebras if we talk stripes Ask 'em what they know about that park life From chase down blocks in a game To chasing dude down the block and it's all ice I'm tryna get it so that my momma can sit and say "It's alright" And I've been gone from the west so long that I thought I Really heard these young boys saying My name don't ring bells like tryna call twice Look I got zero intentions of turning has-been at all The scorching heat of the failure is what ignited his fall Another "shoulda coulda" story being rapped at the mall And when he turns into a ghost, who are you gonna call? In a city that's hella deep in size My book full of secrets I pray that you never see inside Lot of voices speak but you hearing the energy in mine Jacob Mbayo, just tryna leave 'em a legacy behind What's up From the west side With my day ones that's the best kind Took concentration but I came from zero Hometown hero My God I thought I would be Stuck on this block And now I'm off living my best life But I'm still from the west side
