By Your Side (feat. Zala)

[Intro:]

[Zala:]

Hey Ikay... A Zala B enuh,

[Ikay:]

Cry Nation homie... Let's do this,

Kay, Zala... uh, yea, uh.

[Zala:]

Bomb attack, dats da damn attack.

[Verse 1: Ikay]

I pour out liquors for my laid down niggaz,

Four years passed and I still miss ya,

In my mind I paint a picture of da time when I used to hang with ya,

The day you died, I cried,

Just wanna be...

By your side!

Life's hard down here,

Kids starve down here,

But da law don't care,

So many brothers in da morgue down here,

Yo nigga! I got you in my heart down here,

Some day I'll be...

By Your side!

My dreams all I got

Why try and be something that I'm not,

So many brothers on my block,

I'm cool but no fool can take my spot,

Da streets don't love me, mom don't want me,

Why all these pain gotta haunt me?

I roam da cold streets... my mom got sick and I can't do shit,

Her son can't get rich,

I'll trade every cent and shine on my wrist,

Just to be...

By Your Side!

I love you mama,

I know da stress you under,

Ten percent pain and da rest is drama,

I'm nothing but heart ache,

All my life I been makin your heart break,

That ain't right! I been putting my faith in da wrong place,

Been smiling round da wrong face,

You can take all I got from me,

Set da cops on me,

Always have my dreams and you can't take that from me,

Yea I hustle... spend a little drug money,

It's time for a new start,

I got niggaz in Kingston, niggaz in New York,

My glock still glistens,

I still speak da truth and da block still listens,

I blow smoke in da sky for my niggaz that strive or they locked in prison,

I'm firm in da street like a ship with a anchor,

God you give me life and I thank ya,

I got all these tattoos knowin some day it's gonna give me cancer,

A change is coming, to me a change is nothing,

Let it rain, let it ease da suffering,

My homies get peace from da trees they puffin,

I'm a playa for life, can't be no husband,

Cause love is hustling,

Dem broads will hustle ya house, hustle ya cars,

No love! For da money they wanna get in ya drawers,

And be...

By your side!

It's amazing, my nigga Craig just hop in da Benz,

Made da streets get with it again,

I do this for my niggaz up in da pen,

I pour out some liquor for them,

It's da facts I'm statin, a red apple attracts temptation,

Kay rise from da dirt, da new black sensation,

What do you do when ya life becomes a strife and you just wanna die,

Tears in ya eyes,

Cause ya best friend up there in da sky,

And it's hell down here,

Niggaz in da cell doin years,

Nigga don't be scared, somebody cares,

God is right...

By your side!

[Verse 2: Zala]

But we a gwaan live a while so Ikay just hold di glock...

By your side!

So stop actin like a bitch,

Cause Zala neva hitch,

And mi guns neva snitch,

All we do a hustle pon di street a try fi get rich,

A di rhyme weh we spit mek vultures a pitch,

Come a run off dem mouth but dem don't know a shit,

Bad mind get a kick outta di K-Swiss,

Bomb attack! Ikay... yuh get mi drift?

Mek di streets vibrate like a bass line,

Telescope scope him up to di face line,
