Side Streets v2

Intro – Drake, half-sung

Yeah

South side nights, East End lights

You know how it goes

Mm

⸻

Verse 1 – Drake

You say you’re done but you still unlocked

You moved on but the postcode close

Door on the flat, I’m pacing the block

Same old friends, same old roads

You say I changed, maybe I froze

When it got real, I went ghost

I know that I

Left you on read too many times

But pride don’t warm you at night

When the city’s this cold

⸻

Pre-Chorus – Jorja Smith

You only ring when the bassline drops

When your new girl’s gone and your heart feels lost

I’m not your late-night afterthought

Don’t spin me round like vinyl

⸻

Chorus – Jorja Smith

We keep running through the side streets

Dodging what we might be

Every time you find me

You say it’s different this time

But you never change your mind

We just rewind

Again and again

⸻

Post-Chorus – Drake & Jorja layered

(Don’t call me when the night falls)

You know I still slide though

(Don’t tell me that you might call)

Girl, you know I tried though

UK bassline under heartbreak

Two-step but my heart break

We move but we don’t change

No

⸻

Verse 2 – Drake

You got somebody new from Brixton

Says he treats you different

But you still listen

When my name come up in conversation

I hate that I

Still know your mum’s tea order

Still know your best friend’s number

Still know your body better

You say I’m toxic, maybe I am

But nobody gets you like I can

Rain on the roof of the sedan

We arguing soft, no hands

⸻

Pre-Chorus – Jorja Smith

You only love me in between

Your ego and your jealousy

You never give me clarity

Just rhythm

⸻

Chorus – Jorja Smith

We keep running through the side streets

Dodging what we might be

Every time you find me

You say it’s different this time

But you never change your mind

We just rewind

Again and again

⸻

Bridge – Drake (rap flow over stripped garage beat)

Look—

I don’t wanna lose you to a rebound

But I don’t wanna fix what I broke down

You say I talk slick when I come round

Then you melt when the lights low

Heart on echo

You say let go

But you won’t let go

⸻

Breakdown – Jorja, airy vocals

Maybe we’re just timing

Maybe we’re just fear

Maybe if we’re honest

We don’t want it clear

⸻

Final Chorus – Both, layered harmony

We keep running through the side streets

Dodging what we might be

Every time you find me

You say it’s different this time

But we’re still the same inside

We just rewind

Again

Outro 2 - Drake

Take the M1 back to the city

Windshield blurry and the sky looks gritty

I hate that I leave when it gets this pretty

But we're better in the rearview

Outro 2 - Jorja Smith

Don't look back

Just drive

Stay on your side of the line

Keep your peace and I'll keep mine

Fade out

Slowly

Yeah

Outro 2 - Drake & Jorja Layered

(Again and again)

We're just a loop in the rain

(Again and again)

Same road, different lane

(Again and again)

Yeah

One last turn

Then we let it burn

Goodnight

South side

Stay safe

Yeah
