Joseph Reyes - Just Kids

South side of the town
South side of the town
Doin' better now
Yeah, yeah, yeah
South side of the town
South side of the town
Doing better now
Yeah, yeah, yeah

We were just kids
On the south side of the town
Tryna keep the pain away
Tryna hold the family down
It was fucked up then
But we doin' better now
Lord forgive me for my sin
But we had to make it out
We were just kids
On the south side of the town
Tryna keep the pain away
Tryna hold the family down
It was fucked up then
But we doin' better now
Lord forgive me for my sin
But we had to make it out

Daddy left us on the downside
Yay high
I'd never be the same in my whole life
Momma raised us on south side
The proud side
The never let the man get you down side
So I try to be a better man
Tried my best to break the wall
Tried my best to let you in
And I tried to give another chance
But you wouldn't take the call
Think I finally understand
I don't need you
Said that we can try again
I don't believe you
Said you'd be there to the end
But I don't see you
Said I never really tried
But we were just kids on the south side

We were just kids
On the south side of the town
Tryna keep the pain away
Tryna hold the family down
It was fucked up then
But we doin' better now
Lord forgive me for my sin
But we had to make it out
We were just kids
On the south side of the town
Tryna keep the pain away
Tryna hold the family down
It was fucked up then
But we doin' better now
Lord forgive me for my sin
But we had to make it out

Yeah
You know I had my doubts
South side kid and I finally made it out
Dad left us, but I learned to live without
Momma raised us, so I'mma make my momma proud
Now I'mma man, I don't need amends
I just need a Benz and some bands
Got it on my wrist, got it on my hands
Diamonds dance
Came up from the mud
Y'all don't understand
I didn't get no help when
I didn't have a chance
I don't need you
Called it right there from the start
I won't believe you
All this pain inside my heart
But I won't be you
Said I'd never really try
Cause we were just kids on the south side

We were just kids
On the south side of the town
Tryna keep the pain away
Tryna hold the family down
It was fucked up then
But we doin' better now
Lord forgive me for my sin
But we had to make it out
We were just kids
On the south side of the town
Tryna keep the pain away
Tryna hold the family down
It was fucked up then
But we doin' better now
Lord forgive me for my sin
But we had to make it out

South side of the town
South side of the town
Doin' better now
Yeah, yeah, yeah
