SOUTHSIDE Lyrics by Phil J.

Joy

2021

[Verse 1]
Youngin’ born in Alabama, yeah
You can hear it in my grammar
The way I view things is so panoramic
I got all the drip cuz the swag is oceanic
My life’s a cinematic
I was raised to be gentleman
I respect the women
Some people’s idol is a Benjamin
And I just think it’s silly
Self worth is so vital
We don’t have to fall victim to cycles
Better believe I’ll reach my goals
That’s no cap, aye
Hercules on the track that’s a fact yeah
It’s a breeze, I do this with ease not to brag
Never woulda made without God, Marvin Sapp
I can feel thе goat vibes arising
Another day to live on thе horizon
As long as I have few more breaths to take
I got something important to say

[Chorus]
I’m just reppin for the southside (Southside)
We can groove to any beat
Rhythm is all we need
I was taught to never downsize (Downsize)
When it comes to my calling
Go hard till I’m in the coffin
I’m reppin for the southside, southside
I’m just reppin for the southside, southside
I’m just reppin for the southside, southside
I’m just reppin for the southside, southside
Yeah

[Verse 2]
This is really me
There is no mistaking my identity
Brown boy living 6 hours south of Tennessee
South of Tennessee, raised on pork chops and collard greens, oh the memories
I remember when I was younger that I had a dream
I put my city on the map making history
Known as the man who loves God and his family
Loving my fine wife cuz she sweeter than a tangerine, ooh
Better believe I’ll reach my goals
That’s no cap
Hercules on the track that’s a fact
It’s a breeze, I do this with ease not to brag
Never would’ve made it without God, Marvin Sapp
Fine with being known as the desperado
Anywhere between London and Colorado
Southern hospitality is a part of my DNA
When I’m in your area, I would just like to say

[Chorus]
I’m just reppin for the southside (Southside)
We can groove to any beat
Rhythm is all we need
I was taught to never downsize (Downsize)
When it comes to my calling
Go hard till I’m in the coffin
I’m reppin for the southside, southside
I’m just reppin for the southside, southside
I’m just reppin for the southside, southside
I’m just reppin for the southside, southside
Yeah
