Eastside Tales

Eastside Tales Shouts out to all my hoods across the A gettin it in My Eastside niggas, my Westside niggas Big shouts to the Northside ('DJ Spinz, f*** ni***!') I could go on and on for days and days and song for song yeah {'Let me tell you all about it'} I could go on and on for days and days and song for song yeah {'Let me tell you all about it'} It's 'bout that Eastside tale, yeah I can tell you 'bout that Eastside tale {'Let me tell you all about it'} It's 'bout that Eastside tale, let me tell you 'bout another Eastside tale {'Let me tell you all about it'} ('M... L... K!!') Let me say again! You'll never know that no matter what song What the concept is or whatever, I'm tryin to keep it 100 So I may not be givin you the story but the story got the truth in it You feel me? ('SCREAM!!') Oh yeah, believe it, I can tell many secrets But the mo' I talk about them that's just the mo' that you see 'em Yup - I'm a believer, not sayin I'm religious But I see somethin wrong with how we livin in my city Why everybody from Decatur wanna be a sanger? Or be an entertainer, or to be rich and famous? You see us on TV, you sit for hours and you stare Not sayin that we Gods, but that's what they try to make us And like I said - even though I'm tryin to get to paid I ain't fin' to do what they want me to do dawg Realer than that I'm from Decatur Decatur's a city that's gon' be on yo' mind soon as you think about it Hell yeah I'm from the Eastside Ain't sayin it just to get the streets behind me Ain't like slum, but I know where I'm from So I spit it for the slums and the street society It's yo' block that I'm beatin' down So that real shit's what I'm speakin 'bout Now I can probably, tell you a lie To tell the stories about people's problems But everything that I got to say is Contagious like toxic waste Don't play ball but I'm Atlanta's Bravest So if I'm fake then it's not today Now I can sit up here and lie up in my rhyme And tell you everything is fine but y'all ain't blind - nah~! [Chorus]
