Eastside Tales

[Intro]

Shouts out to all my hoods across the A gettin it in

My Eastside niggas, my Westside niggas

Big shouts to the Northside ("DJ Spinz, fuck nigga!")

[Chorus]

I could go on and on for days and days and song for song yeah

{"Let me tell you all about it"}

I could go on and on for days and days and song for song yeah

{"Let me tell you all about it"}

It's 'bout that Eastside tale, yeah I can tell you 'bout that Eastside tale

{"Let me tell you all about it"}

It's 'bout that Eastside tale, let me tell you 'bout another Eastside tale

{"Let me tell you all about it"}

[Interlude]

("M... L... K!!")

Let me say again! You'll never know that no matter what song

What the concept is or whatever, I'm tryin to keep it 100

So I may not be givin you the story but the story got the truth in it

You feel me? ("SCREAM!!")

[B.o.B]

Oh yeah, believe it, I can tell many secrets

But the mo' I talk about them that's just the mo' that you see 'em

Yup - I'm a believer, not sayin I'm religious

But I see somethin wrong with how we livin in my city

Why everybody from Decatur wanna be a sanger?

Or be an entertainer, or to be rich and famous?

You see us on TV, you sit for hours and you stare

Not sayin that we Gods, but that's what they try to make us

[Chorus]

[Interlude]

And like I said - even though I'm tryin to get to paid

I ain't fin' to do what they want me to do dawg

Realer than that I'm from Decatur

Decatur's a city that's gon' be on yo' mind soon as you think about it

[B.o.B]

Hell yeah I'm from the Eastside

Ain't sayin it just to get the streets behind me

Ain't like slum, but I know where I'm from

So I spit it for the slums and the street society

It's yo' block that I'm beatin' down

So that real shit's what I'm speakin 'bout

Now I can probably, tell you a lie

To tell the stories about people's problems

But everything that I got to say is

Contagious like toxic waste

Don't play ball but I'm Atlanta's Bravest

So if I'm fake then it's not today

Now I can sit up here and lie up in my rhyme

And tell you everything is fine but y'all ain't blind - nah~!

[Chorus]
