Southside Forever

Verse 1

Southside sunrise, salt in the air

Granny’s front porch, I’m still right there

Same old cracked streets

Same shoes, same heat

Down in the cut, scars on my sleeve

Never let lies trick what I believe

Mama’s voice strong, burning in my bones

One word answers, held tight like stones

Told I was nothing, kept my head held higher

Storms round my heart, spit smoke and fire

All my beginnings, I’ll never erase Three word blessing: "Remember this place" [Verse 2]

Cousins on the corner, laughing too loud

Bulldog barking, proud in my crowd

One light burning, gold on the wall

Sharp words at dinner, I take them all

Raised on patience, pain and a pact

Real ones ride with, you don’t look back

Grit in my pocket, promise by my teeth

Stories I carry, stitched on my sleeve

Been through the dust, rain running red

Never forget every tear I bled

Hope in a shoebox, love in a grin

Every loss made me, shout let me in

Chorus

Never forget where I’m from

Southside flames, soul don’t run

Never regret what I’ve done

I’m the same one, I’m the same one

Never forget where I’m from

Southside dust when the day gone

No regrets, never undone

I’m the same one, I’m the same one

Post-Chorus

Southside, I ride, I ride, I ride

Southside, I ride, I ride, I ride

Bridge

Maybe I stumble, maybe I fight

Maybe I struggle to do what’s right

Always remember, always I stay

Here on my tongue, southside on my name

Chorus

Never forget where I’m from

Southside flames, soul don’t run

Never regret what I’ve done

I’m the same one, I’m the same one

Never forget where I’m from

Southside dust when the day gone

No regrets, never undone

I’m the same one, I’m the same one

Post-Chorus

Southside, I ride, I ride, I ride

Southside, I ride, I ride, I ride

Southside, I ride, I ride, I ride
