SJ - Eastside Ride Lyrics

Talkin' 'bout that East (EASTSIDE!) That's where I'm from
Raised on the 'line, it's the beat of my drum
4 niggas 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 killer 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

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

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
Hustlin' for money, lookin' for honeys, got the Escalades bumping'
It's either Caddys or Caprices, g shit
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

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

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*ck 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

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
