On My Side
D. Woods Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(D. Woods):
She don't do it for you anymore
She don't rub your back when it's sore
She don't make you feel the same
You got a wondering eye
I seen you look when you walk by
And now you wanna know what it's like
If you could be the apple of my eye
You wanna make a change
You wanna come my way
Well I'm waiting here for you

(Chorus):
You had enough of the dark sid
So step over the line and get a taste of the sunshine
It's better on my side
It's better on my side, it's better on my side
It's better on my side
'Cause I'm better than her
That silver line around your dark cloud ain't enough
Why would you settle down
Come over for something better
It's better on my side, it's better on my side
It's better on my side, it's better on my side
'Cause I'm better than her

(Rick Ross rap):
You saw me on my grind
Watch me count my change
Thinkin' in your mind
Will this ever change

Had a main girl, but you was more fulfilling
So I baught them yellow diamonds, put you in that Fendi
You got the toys first, I'm talking Troy Berch
Usually do it fast, say she want a slower verse
Lookin sexy in a scarf, even in the dark
Pillow curtains in my car, maybe we should park

(Chorus)

(Mack Maine rap):
Mack MAine, D. Woods
Hell yeah that'll be good
She classy, he hood
Plus I know we gonna eat good
See, she know how to cook and sex
So my girl feel she's a threat
Always hollerin "she sadity"
Hatin oh her like she P. Diddy
Ahh, see I can't lie
I been kinda occupied
But every time you come on the scene
I be in your mouth like colgate
You was sent from heaven
So baby girl you are my soulmate
You can be my Phil Jackson, I can be your Kobe
Let's ride





(Chorus)

I love D. Woods. I love this song, heard it played in the club this weekend. Lyrics could be a little stronger but a great song.

Talgas20

I'm feeling this song. It's a good introduction of D. Woods as a solo artist. I can see this song really popping if maybe TI spit a verse or something. It just has that ATL swagga to it. What else can I say, but D. Woods has a really beautiful voice. Best of luck in 09' and beyond Ma.

She's on the right track. This is mainstream sounding, and pretty good. The DK girls have the talent to make it on their own. Diddy thought they needed him. HA! He gave them exposure, but that doesn't mean he is allowed to disrespect them. I'm proud of D and Aubrey, and even Shannon, for walking away.
