Premium Jae - Westside

I'm from the westside
That's the grimy side
So play it safe
Them young kids taking shit
Like they can't find a better way
You ever met a person who ain't scared to hit the grave
You see the demon in they eyes through a picture frame
It's a country town
So them niggas be in the field
We come from nothing
So the mentality what it is
How you expect change when nobody wont change shit
The racism be hid behind the lies and politics
My side of town a lil bit different
You got to stay ready
Young niggas got straps on them
Like they been in the military
You cant even live peaceful
You got to stay focused
I seen people lose they life over something super petty
You ever seen ya partner lose his freedom at the school
Niggas be jumping off the porch early be quitting school
Poverty took you in
So now you got to hustle
It's different when you inherit verse off the muscle
If you ain't one of us
You cant even go cross the tracks
They pull you over and ask you do you know where you at
How you make it out if nobody local got hope
You play sports in high school
But cant even go pro
The streets a common way most people eat
They get a job
But scamming or hustling week to week
You doing wrong
But it feel right
Trying to survive in these streets
A take over ya whole life
I'm from the westside
That's the grimy side
So play it safe
Them young kids taking shit like they can't find a better way
You ever met a person who ain't scared to hit the grave
You see the demon in they eyes through a picture frame
It's a country town
So them niggas be in the field
We come from nothing
So the mentality what it is
How you expect change when nobody wont change shit
The racism be hid behind the lies and politics
They hate it when you make it out
They want you to be slaves
But I'm not working for no pennies
I'm here to get paid
I came up seeing people begging
Don't want to be better
You want some freedom in ya life
Then go get you some cheddar
A teacher told me I wasn't gone be shit when I get older
I wanna see her out today to show her how life unfolding
God the greatest
So don't ever go judging his people
You might be up today
And next week yo ass barely eating
Its crazy how the tables turn
No that's for real for real
I seen some niggas turn to thousands from out the field
You think I'm capping bout the streets
But I'm just telling the truth
That's why I take my hat off whenever I'm in the booth
You got to get it
Got to find a way
Don't put it on the internet
Just stay up out the way
Watch what you tell people in the streets
They all don't want no better
They just tryna beg and leech
I'm from the westside
That's the grimy side
So play it safe
Them young kids taking shit
Like they can't find a better way
You ever met a person who ain't scared to hit the grave
You see the demon in they eyes through a picture frame
It's a country town
So them niggas be in the field
We come from nothing
So the mentality what it is
How you expect change when nobody wont change shit
The racism be hid behind the lies and politics
