I'm a star from Mississippi where things be gettin' tricky
Tell you 'bout the most loved street within my city
Now on your tour, wear your seatbelt 'cause the heat's felt
In some parts dark wherever all the G's dwell
Up on Lake and Minnehaha, we rocked a few shows like soundset
The fattest jam to ever come around yet
But yo, the ground gets wet up on Lake and Cedar
From the sprays of the heaters that release the blood spills
Hustlin' and drug deals can be seen from gang-related natives
Ready to take it if it makes it
Shiesty cats wash the gang signs 'cause niggas die for that
Get to throwin' guns, blowin' dope and tryna scrap
Livest at the block, known as Lake and Bloomington
A hot spot where you can always catch 'em all boomin', son
Movin' them things like dispatch courier
Back and forth over the border of the neighborhood corner
Now Lake and Chicago is the strip where it's on, yo
Fools stuffin' crack peels up in they fuckin' nostril
Always hostile, if you want it, yo, they got you
Even the cops, too, tryna push up and clock you
Lake Street, everybody's walked, you spit
Or took a trip on the pavement with your crew
21, Everybody's hopped you
East to West, I gotta get respect to run the blocks through
Lake Street, everybody's walked, you spit
Or took a trip on the pavement with your crew
21, Everybody's hopped you
East to West, I gotta get respect to run the blocks through
Part two, I'ma pick up shit on Nicollet
Kids don't be hip to this 'cause it's layin' in a pit
Full of Hispanics ready to cap shit
Strapped with real fury if you wanna fuck around on Pillsbury
Lyndale brings you into Uptown
Ain't the spot you have to duck down
Just a bunch of hippies actin' silly, sweetie weirdos
Under the tracks see graffiti murals
Fast scribers with a great spot to pass flyers
I remember I used to slash tires
On Garfield fights and car steals, did this shit for thrills
Used to roll down on BMX wheels up to Target
Jackin' Nintendo tapes, then stackin' Minute Crates
Used to hang out on Lake and Portland
My man lived there, we used to slang out and split the portion
Off of 13th, used to mess with this pearly thing
Whose curves would swing every time she heard me sing
Bryant Lake and Vogt was the spot, too
That's where brothers used to get chopped up in shot fu
You could get rocked here, too
So don't be the man for propaganda
Punk, the Southside, we never bammer
Lake Street, everybody's walked, you spit
Or took a trip on the pavement with your crew
21, Everybody's hopped you
East to West, I gotta get respect to run the blocks through
Lake Street, everybody's walked, you spit
Or took a trip on the pavement with your crew
21, Everybody's hopped you
East to West, I gotta get respect to run the blocks through
Of course I got Southside pride, that's where I grew up
Threw up and watched other cats get chewed up
Rhymesayers got a lot, so you'll never move up
You actin' souped up, I'll turn you over with your shoes up
Over South, punks got beef, then we roll 'em out
Best believe all the scary stories that you told about
Get your shit up 'cause fools stick up over on Phillip
You walkin' through there, you best to have your crew near
But overall, we got class, we got cash
Never be the one to let the Southside pass
Now I laugh at all those who never had faith
Couldn't make the cake, so then they dropped out of the race
I love other states, but yo, I love mine first
The dirt where my moms laid down and gave birth, huh
Made my friends and made enemies, too
And the word I send, yo, it's finna be true
Yo, South High, let me see your hands if you're fly
Southwest, throw up your shit if you the best
Washburne, know you got props to earn
And Roosevelt, let 'em know that you go for delf, what?
Lake Street, everybody's walked, you spit
Or took a trip on the pavement with your crew
21, Everybody's hopped you
East to West, I gotta get respect to run the blocks through
Lake Street, everybody's walked, you spit
Or took a trip on the pavement with your crew
21, Everybody's hopped you
East to West, I gotta get respect to run the blocks through
