SOUTHSIDE SUNDAYZ

Woke up trippin'

Checked the news, a youngin' died up in the district

Said a prayer then hit my **** 'bout this ticket

Had a dream we didn't worry 'cause we did it

Warm the crib with the stove, I told 'em give me twenty minutes

Tell my grandma that I love her

Hit the stoop and share a L with my brother

On Southside posted, but we posted with each other

'Cause strugglin' with real is better than

Living good but you got snakes in your den

I took a break from the pen

Been focusing on my family

My grandma doing worse, and that shit scares me

But other than I give that same feeling as Illmatic

I speak for **** that strive for greatness and still at it

Remain a man of flesh, your man and kin, they all plastic, dismantle the static

I swear it get realer in every verse, now Nik' inherit the Earth

I learned it's 'bout gettin' it right, it's not about gettin' it first

But y'all boys, this is man shit

Gotta be my moms to understand this

We cut from a different fabric, when they say it didn't matter

Was pointing out the principle

It isn't coming from your spirit, that's why they not feeling you

I seen the sun eat a hundred moons

Just working on the groove, late nights inside the stu'

When I missing, I was just getting me in tune

I used to say that I would die about it

But now I'd rather live about it

Level up and start a business 'bout it

Just tryna find my way up out it

I used to say that I would die about it

But now I'd rather live about it

Level up and start a business 'bout it

Just tryna find my way up out it

This moment here is evidence, I'm Armstrong pedalin'

An uphill battle on Mt. Everest, an everlasting sentiment

The Himalayan sunrise reminds me of the Sheraton

The death of joy was in comparing them

The Southside of my city, I had dreams of bachelor pads

Fucking these hoes out the whip, running from failures of past

Didn't care about the love, was stressing what I didn't have

Mama sleeping out the whip, don't ever want that feeling back

He said, "'fore you go, know where your people"

I sprinkle fronto into the paper to get us equal

You know, highs for lows

Cliche but herbs brings out the essence for the growth

A naked eye to the soul as the sun returns below

We live another day, just getting by but, Nik', you different

Don't lose the sight that comes from deep inside that gives you vision

And if I'm not around to see you make it out this prism

Just tell 'em we ain't subjects to the system

I said that I would die about it

But now I'd rather live about it

Level up and start a business 'bout it

Just tryna find my way up out it

I used to say that I would die about it

But now I'd rather live about it

Level up and start a business 'bout it

Just tryna find my way up out it

The measure of man is in his heart

And quite frankly

If a man can be still

And know that I am God

Well

That's the most powerful man

That the world will ever see
