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, 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)
