West Side

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

This is a, So So Def, world premier

A world, premier

So So Def, world premier

Heh! I've been away and shit, heh

But I'm back now, heh heh

It's really like I ain't even went nowhere

Ya dig? Heh heh, cause I'm the shit

Been the shit, past present and future

Ya dig? Heh Chi-Town stand up

For the West side (West side, West side)

I don't need an intro, it's no, secret that I've been gone

Keep yo' attention like I'm swimmin in a fish bowl

All eyes on me, they tell all kind of lies on me

But I'm all smiles homey cause I'm on they mind

Only one Brat, Twitter that, figure the stats

See ain't picture me quittin, when in fact I'm still winnin

Came out of a pissy predicament and still grinnin

No matter the opposition, I play my position

I be the pitcher, the batter, the center or the point guard

Hook up a dinner do dishes and mow the front yard

Domesticated and educated a understatement

The streets raised me and I'm a grandma's baby

I made it, possible, for niggaz not to know

I surpassed gold and ran right past goals

My monopoly invested in this rap shit (rap shit)

And I'm the best that ever did it, it's Da Brat bitch!

[Chorus]

Pop a bottle if you fuck wit Da Brat

Smoke one and represent where you at

Got'chu somethin to bump in yo' ride

It's none other than that nigga from the West side (West side)

Throw one in the air for your girl (girl)

Send a bottle to them over there from your girl (drink some'n)

Tell them I can feel it when they stare at your girl, glare at your girl

I understand, they wishin I am in they world

You're nobody 'til somebody kill you Biggie never lied

The time I wasted felt like I died

Now it's "Life After Death," So So Anita Baker

Caught up in this rap shit, so so inebriated

Chi-Town, West side, you know how we stand up

Man up, motherfucker get your hands up!

I'm a representer, the presence of a winner, it lives in her

From a teenager to right now, I ain't no beginner

The history paid is relayed, who the illest is

It's okay, I can take your lil' criticism

Long as it's constructive, and I can be productive

and you learn Brat, is not to be fucked with

[Chorus]

Yeahhhhhh, ha ha

Yeah, uh-huh

Yeahhhhhhhh

So So Def in the building

Brat on the mixtape, hah

Yeah, how we do?

Yeah
