East-Side
B.o.B Lyrics

I been on the East side girl
I have spent a significant amount of time on the East side of town, girl.

So shawty listen
Therefore, listen closely, girl.

Maybe it's just me
Perhaps it is only my perception.

But lately I can feel the distance
Nevertheless, I have been sensing a growing emotional gap.

Let's not get into topics
Let us avoid discussing certain subjects.

Never trust in forgiveness
It is unwise to rely solely on forgiveness.

Could never put it all together
I have never been able to fully comprehend it.

Something like a sentence
Similar to constructing a sentence.

Always been the second option
I have always been the backup choice.

But the first to ever listen
However, I have been the first to truly listen.

Or maybe it's just me
Alternatively, it could just be my own perspective.

Smoking way too much weed
I have been excessively consuming marijuana.

You telling me to leave
You are instructing me to depart from your presence.

You done with OT, clock out and just leave
You are finished with overtime, so you urge me to leave as well.

You lying to me
You are deceiving me.

Why you always lying to me
Why do you frequently deceive me?

Had to pack up and leave
I had to gather my belongings and depart.

The vision must be hard to see (Naw)
You must have difficulty perceiving my aspirations (No).

The difference between you and me (Naw naw)
The contrast between you and me (No, no).

I might just aim at the party tonight
I may simply direct my attention to the event tonight.

Imma show you how your eyes caught me
I will demonstrate how your enticing gaze captivated me.

Lessons in life that I never expected
Unexpected life lessons that I never anticipated.

That you would be the one who taught me
You turned out to be the person who taught me.

Called up E
Contacted my friend E.

Told my nigga E
Informed my close friend E.

I think we got one
I believe we have found something significant.

So fuck it
Therefore, let's disregard any doubts.

E said he coming with me
E confirmed that he will accompany me.

Spent me so many times
You have rejected me numerous times.

Girl you got me dizzy
You have made me mentally and emotionally disoriented, girl.

Hopped in the Benz
Got into the Benz (car).

Lite one to keep my mind off the city
I lit a marijuana joint to distract myself from the urban environment.

Momma told me never mix trust with forgiveness
My mother advised me to never combine trust and forgiveness.

Shit hard to clean dirty dishes
It is challenging to clean dirty dishes, figuratively representing resolving conflicts.

Stuck in my room
Feeling trapped within my room.

Trying to see how I can forgive this
Attempting to find a way to forgive this situation.

Bad bitches stay on my wish list
Attractive women always remain on my desires list.

Sex turning more into a hobby
Engaging in sexual activities has become more like a pastime.

You was the one who could stop me
You were the person who could prevent me from certain actions.

Had to switch the page up
I had to change my approach.

Cause the plot getting way too sloppy
Due to the storyline becoming excessively chaotic.

Pictures in my phone papa no fuckin razzi
The images in my phone are without any fake or staged poses.

OT on a mission
Out-of-town (OT) and engaged in a determined pursuit.

Now who the fuck gone stop me
Now who will be able to prevent me?

Tragic in the game
Involved in the game (industry), but with unfortunate circumstances.

Swinging punches like Rocky
Fighting vigorously like the character Rocky Balboa.

Sorry but the come up just way too cocky
Apologies, but the rise to success is excessively arrogant.

Never been a small nigga
I have always been a significant individual.

I'm way too stocky
I have a sturdy and strong physique.

Just look how the East side got me
Simply observe how the East side has influenced and shaped me.

You was supposed to be riding P side by me
You were supposed to be accompanying me on the prosperous and successful side (P side).

OT on a mission
Out-of-town (OT) and engaged in a determined pursuit.

Got the G slides by me
Possessing the G slides (stylish footwear) with me.

Now you up thinking
Now you are awake and pondering.

How could he slide on me
How could he betray me?

Please don't tell nobody
Please keep this information private and confidential.

I been working everyday
I have been diligently working every single day.

Trynna to find my way
Attempting to discover my path or purpose.

Wanted me to leave
You desired for me to depart.

But I told you I was gone stay
However, I informed you that I would remain.

Now that I'm thinking
Now that I am reflecting upon it.

That was back in the day
That occurred in the past.

And I'm still trynna to find my way
And I am still striving to discover my path or purpose.

Dreams of doing shows
Aspiring to perform in live shows.

Moving state to state
Travelling from one state to another.

Just a young nigga trynna to get food on his plate
Merely a young individual attempting to provide for his basic needs.

But I guess it's safe to say
However, I suppose it is appropriate to conclude.
