South Side

With lifeless eyes he forms the south side hand sign represent his neighborhood is all he know No remorse for his actions banging on the other side Dope in his pocket pistol in his waistband pulling aiming firing shots with his left hand Hot steel spiralling out the barrel of the gun empty shells and bodies hitting the pavement Elevating the crime rate he celebrates with his homies back on the south side Lines of cocaine being snorted off the stomachs of sluts with bloodshot eyes they scream southside North Siders come through gunning automatic weapons being fired screams of whores echo through the night unable to return fire south siders lay dying with lifeless eyes they form the south side hand sign written by Keith Edward Baucum aka The Brown Philosopher aka The Green Poet aka Red Seven
