South Side Story

Lloyd Banks

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah



I done learned from mistakes like who's my men, and who's not

Like who's gone run, but who's not

Like who's gone shoot if you shot

Who gone hold it and who's not

Who gone change spots



[Chorus]

In the streets of New York, you can't trust nobody

Niggaz'll run up on you with a 12-guage shotty

Loyalty comes free, smokin' weed is my hobby

You wanna rob me, you gotta leave here with a body

In the streets of New York, You can't trust nobody

Niggaz'll run up on you with a 12-guage shotty

Loyalty comes free, smokin' weed is my hobby

You wanna rob me, you gotta leave here with a body

There I stood, stiffer than wood

See homey used to buy me candy

Now he's gone, who gone provide his family?

My earring, shoulda been runnin'

I never thought I'd be that sick

Damn, I wasn't 'posed to see that shit

That's when I thought

It was more than three shots

He coulda been waitin for me, maybe he circled around the block

I turned around at my pops, he like "what happened?"

This nigga rolled up and just started clappin'

I can still hear him laughin'

[Chorus]



[Verse 2]

It was a regular day in South Side, sprinklers and kids runnin'

All of a sudden, head's turnin', somebody did somethin'

This nigga named, I forgot, fuck it, he lived around the block

Regular gettin' money nigga, but loved to clown a lot

Walked across the park, stuntin', f
