Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bitch I'm from the south, the south side
We all ride, and when we catch a outsider, outside
Y'all die, we all ride
And when you see us we be leaning to the side, the south side
We all ride, and when we catch a outsider, outside
Y'all die, we all ride
Junior,
Catch me in the whip, extra with the clip
Leaning to the right side army guns big chips
Wine candy on the strip
You know how we get it when we coming with the flip
Cause we running with the flip
And the money is a must and hoes we don't trust
Guns in the cut bitch know whats up
20 on the slab, 50 in the jag
Coming through the air hustling on her ass
Ordinary nigga with extraordinary style
Swagger to the ceiling nigga hustling gone wild
Hustling with my child
Blowin' out the pound, come from uptown
Banana clips a hundred rounds, bla!
Bitch I'm from the south, the south side
We all ride, and when we catch a outsider, outside
Y'all die, we all ride
And when you see us we be leaning to the side, the south side
We all ride, and when we catch a outsider, outside
Y'all die, we all ride
Ey pussy nigga you know you ain't from the south
Careful with the swanga
Come and true banging
Kill another kurb nigga hustling but ain't hanging
Up on the post where the money do come
Got a spot make a hundred the one that do run
Who back up on the slab in all black paper tags
Ya that be the money and the Louie all cash
Back like I swung through, Hummer and the Benz
Coupe Benz 6 and no roof, Rolls Royce and Gucci shoes
Ha ha, ya digg, ya understand, Cash Money, Young Money
Been about be big money, get money, bleed money
Flip money, see money, spend big face new hundreds
Bitch I'm from the south, the south side
We all ride, and when we catch a outsider, outside
Y'all die, we all ride
And when you see us we be leaning to the side, the south side
We all ride, and when we catch a outsider, outside
Y'all die, we all ride
Hey pussy nigga you know you ain't from the south
Catch me in the neck of my woods
We all good, we all hood
Got them thangs taped that's when I come through
Nigga got them paper plates money when we fall through
Brand new china k monster with the sun roof
Cherry with the lumber, birds cheap numbers
That's how we do it bitch stuntin' every summer
Born breaded soldier, known high roller
K gave me the game hustling into know ya
Always strapped fuck if they coming, better be strapped
Bitch a hundred we dumping, blowin' rocking jewels

Bitch I'm from the south, the south side
We all ride, and when we catch a outsider, outside
Y'all die, we all ride
And when you see us we be leaning to the side, the south side
We all ride, and when we catch a outsider, outside
Y'all die, we all ride
Hey pussy nigga you know you ain't from the south
Ya just know it's like you candy paint nigga

Big money shit, global with it ya know
Yeah bitch, born rich neighborhood superstar
Junior, Young Mula, C-M-B, yeah baby, army guns
The lyrics to Birdman ft Lil Wayne's song Southside, are a representation of the street and gang culture in the southern region of the United States. The references to "riding" and "catching outsiders" suggest a code of conduct that is built around loyalty to one's "set," and a willingness to defend it at all costs. This culture fosters a deep sense of camaraderie among its members, who are willing to go to great lengths to protect their own.
The lyrics also touch on themes like gun violence, drug trafficking, and the pursuit of money. Lines such as "guns in the cut bitch know what's up" and "flip money, see money, spend big face new hundreds" are indicative of the rough and tumble lifestyle of many in the southern gang scene. The message of the song is that those who live in the south, and especially on the south side, are not to be messed with, and will protect and defend their turf with force.
Interesting facts about the song Southside include that it was released in 2006 as the lead single from Birdman's album Fast Money. The song also features Lil Wayne, who was part of Birdman's record label at the time, Cash Money Records. Southside was a commercial success, peaking at number 74 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. Additionally, the song's music video was directed by Gil Green and features cameos from other southern rap artists such as Rick Ross and DJ Khaled.
