[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, nigga, 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 Niggas 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)
