Northside
[Intro]
Sun comin' out on the side
Don't it feel good?
Feel good
Yeah (Statik Selektah)
[Verse 1]
Last trip around the sun
Give me peace and love, I don't ask for much
Even in recessions, Mama scrapped enough
Cryin' in a room over money, now we laugh it up
Grass is cut just below the ankle
Try me if you want, I could read your every angle
Frontin' from the jump, I could read you like a fable
Lot of dollar signs I been leavin' on the table
Uh, don't let 'em faze you
All phases we blaze through
Why was I comparin' my real diamonds to fake jewels?
Why was I inferior to hill climbin' and great views?
Noticin' that here above the clouds live a great few
I'm done strugglin', give me ease
Told the streets I'm done hustlin', give me peace
I told my city I'm done slummin', they give me trees
Never be afraid to surrender, that's what we really need
Go with the grain, bro
The rain comin', I don't even put on a raincoat
Oil at the base, it's just makin' my flame grow
I'm always hittin' home, makin' sure that I stay close
I listen and take notes, and I see the
[Pre-Chorus]
Sun comin' out on the side
Don't it feel good?
Yeah
[Chorus]
Mama raised me on the east side
Had to make it to the west side
Got the fam on the south side
And bought some land on the north side
[Verse 2]
Yeah, let go and let God
Remember savin' every single penny just to get by
Remember when we thought we wouldn't make it out of NY
But even at my lowest, I was walkin' with my head high (Yeah)
Life gon' life, n***a, I'ma be Teflon
Take your best shot, boy, I walk with my vest on
I seen where these people spend they energy at
So I don't really give a fuck if I'm the one that they slept on
Nah, we really livin' life
N***as wanna say it's a fluke, and then we did it twice
Three times and it's like, "Nah, nah, they really nice"
Had to take the stairs just to take a hundred fifty flights
Thank you for the road blocks
Brick walls, dead ends, sayin' a whole lot
Pitfall, went left, bump into gold blocks
No force, less tress, makin' my soul rot
I happily coast by, and I see the
[Pre-Chorus]
Sun comin' out on the side
Don't it feel good?
Don't it feel good?
[Chorus]
Mama raised me on the east side
Had to make it to the west side
Got the fam on the south side
And bought some land on the north side
[Outro]
The north side
(The north side)
Copped some land on the north side
(The north side)
Sun comin' out on the side
Don't it feel good?
Feel good
Yeah (Statik Selektah)
