Down In The Southside

Mapetla East born and raised Aye Pilane Street made me brave Aye We used to kick ball all day Aye Watch DBZ Now things have changed Said things have changed Came a long way from days When mama used to say Boy didn't I say You should come inside Way before the sun go down And the street lights on Cause it really ain't safe outside Got a whopping of my life When I came inside and the time Was way past nine Couldn't even sleep that night Cause I saw a fight That ended with bullets flying In the Southside Wolves like to play out in the night So you better slide into the light Or pray up to the sky That they lose sight of you tonight Like you were sanctified In that pool of fire You might be the prey they sacrifice In the Southside Slide Down in the Southside Slide Down in the Southside Slide Down in the Southside Slide Down in the Southside Made it through the trauma Seen a lot of drama Things that I can't speak of Thankful for my mama She the one who saved me Cerfews and them prayers Now can't fall asleep without Me hearing It ain't even that bad no more We still might shoot But the kasi is safe for sure Even when we ought to loot Them Pakistans We still go there to shop Then you find the guys who speak Broken English with Mohammed Like Ahh my friend you know You think you clever you Fede just give me two for smokes All they seem to ever do Hookah pipe gang still hang By the park all day Aye Sipping that lean While talking bout being the best At the girls they play Aye Older ones creep through the streets While trying to feed the addiction They hate Aye Grew up with some of them Gs That you see Now smoking that crystal meth In the Southside Youths like to play out in the night So they call it slime And smoke that pipe Then blow it to the sky Til they lose sight of what is right Then only live to die In that pool of fire They are still the prey they sacrifice In the Southside Side Down in the Southside Slide Down in the Southside Ride Down in the Southside Slide Down in the Southside
