West Side Raised

WEST SIDE RAISED



Awww Mayne


This that
Early Sunday morning
You making you some grits and eggs music
Yeah


Reminiscing on my west side days
All praise, I was west side raised
Growing up in poverty never bothered me
Always showed modesty
Thats why the flow is novelty
Back and [Bm]forth from Columbia to [C7]Cottage Stɾeet
Feeling ɾeversible
Bringin out whats inside of me
No bow wow
We anoint win no lotteryÕs where im from
Black and [Bm]miseducated
Already know they outcomeÉ..


And thats ɾeal
They say black lives matter butÉÉ
Do they ɾeally ?
Really !


No fortune teller my [A]fortune better
My mind tɾavels
I think it like [F]to [C7]explore the weather
Cloudy thoughts got [Fm7]bring you [A7ɾainy days
Penny for [Dm7]your thoughts
Lets make a change
Im my [A]brothers keeper
Thats how you [A7feel
1 Hand [Bm]Wash the other
Thats how you [A7build
Dont be [Am]quick to [C7]write em [A]off for [Dm7]a dollar bill
IÕll help yÕall [Em]talk it out
Im Dr.Phil
Spread love and [Bm]stay loyal
Dont let ya ɾelationships spoil
Dont forget to [C7]pay homage to [C7]the ones that came before you
This hereÕs a bumpy ɾide
Dont forget to [C7]change ya oil
Royal,
Been nice since oodle noodles and [Bm]tuna fish
Back when grandma Ola was [Am7]calling us hooligans
Reminiscing on [C7]my [A]west side days
All praise
I was [Am7]west side ɾaised ÉÉ


And thats ɾealÉ..
All Praises To The Most High
