Sideways
KB Lyrics

Sideways, came in this thing sideways
Entering this situation from a different angle

Get turnt, get lit sideways
Having a good time in a non-traditional way

Haters looking at me sideways
Critics are being skeptical

Sideways, sideways
Going against the norm

I ain't slept in like 9 days
Working extremely hard for a long period of time

Heard they be talking sideways
Rumors are being spread in a negative way

Leaning in this thing sideways, sideways
Approaching this in a unique and unconventional way

They wanna see your boy Kevin wear (Down)
People want to see the artist fail

Hope the worst when they tell me go and break a leg
Wishing bad things upon the artist

This music with or without me boy
The music itself is bigger than the artist

Still gonna be intersecting circles like an Audi boy
The music will continue to cross over different genres and reach different audiences

(Sideways)
Going against the conventional way of doing things

Feeling like I'm ballin' boy
Feeling like a successful superstar

Ricky James, can't let my heart harden boy
Not becoming a victim of fame and maintaining a sense of sensitivity and compassion

Don't need a side chick the main dish a problem boy
Not involving in extramarital relationships

I be turning down girls like the volume boy
Not being taken away by attractive women

Do what we wanna do
Being independent and making personal choices

Truth and the fruit, who really wanna juice
Sharing with people the essence of truth through their music

Move with a humble few, these dudes who befuddle you
Being around a small group of down-to-earth people who can be trusted

Derek Jeter boy, we cool being number 2
Being content with being second best

Dem sons of the Father
The followers of God

Beast all four quarters won't change for a dollar
Remaining dedicated and loyal even in difficult times

I put it on my momma
Being sincere and truthful

I ain't got no worries like hakuna matata
Being free from worries like Timon and Pumba from The Lion King

The Lion King said D-I-E
The Lion King insinuated death

Then brought us back to life like an E-M-T
God brought them back to life

No Biggie to me that you could do it B-I-G
Being unaffected by other artist's success

Till you and God align like a D-M-V
Until they are aligned with God's plan

You rappers are neon green
Other rappers are artificial and fake

Yukon Denali wanna be G-MC's
Other rappers trying to act bigger and tougher than they are

But overdose on Christ see a G-OD
Overdosing on God's love and grace

G-O-D that's what you see on me
God's influence is shown through them

Now turn up
Energizing the crowd and keeping their attention

They know when we pull up
People know when they arrive

Where they working them traps like a pull up
Others are working with dishonesty and deceitfulness

So we bring them trap and a full cup (full cup) of water that's livin'
Bringing a trap and living water, or truth

They don't know what to do with us
Others don't understand their unique approach and style

Degree in theology raps for a livin'
Using their education to create their music

Black man in first class that is reading the scriptures
Breaking stereotypes and representing their faith

I put my tray table up
Preparing for landing or ending something

Smile why they lookin' sideways?
Being happy and positive while others judge them

I promise you, you better come tell 'em (Tell 'em)
Challenge others who have false information or assumptions

I ain't the one, I never was, I never will be
Staying true to oneself and not pretending to be someone else

Somebody better come get 'em
Someone needs to come take care of these people

I wonder what got in they head
Questioning others' motives and actions

Wonder what got in they mind (Mind)
Wondering why others are behaving the way they are

They got me mixed up, messed up
Others have the wrong impression and misconception of them

Click, hold on it's somebody on the line
Pause for a moment and pay attention to what someone else wants to say

(Hello, uh)
Answering a phone call

I ain't tryin' to build C-H-H
Not trying to build Christian Hip-Hop specifically

I'm in my own lane but they like he ain't safe
Doing things their own way but others don't approve

They rappin' in a bubble can't nobody see their face
Others are being inauthentic and hiding behind their music

I ain't worried 'bout the genre the street ain't safe
Not caring about fitting into a certain genre and focusing on the reality of the streets

I know some people out there probably envy my space
Knowing that others may feel envious of their success

But envy is empty, come see my face
Envy is not worth anything and people should see who they really are

Full of scars, full of pain
Having experienced hardships and struggles

I don't see much grace
Not seeing much forgiveness or mercy

Street fighter Ryu catchin' heat all day
Fighting through challenges every day

I'm good
Feeling okay despite difficulties

And lately I've been hangin' in the hood
Spending time around their community

Everybody lookin' like what
Others may not understand their presence in the hood

You for the people, you pushin' back evil
Looking out for their community and fighting against negative influences

Not just in the steeple, you out in the woods
Not just doing good within the church, but also within the world

Where the lions and the wolves at?
Taking risks and facing danger

Still waters run deep, but my crew run deeper
Appearances can be deceiving; their group is stronger than it seems

We already died we ain't scared of the reaper
Having already faced death, they are not afraid of it anymore

We are too alive we don't fear what you're speaking
Being alive and vibrant, and not allowing others' negativity to affect them

Seeing sideways, eyesight crooked
Having an unconventional perspective

You ain't never seen us cause you ain't lookin'
Being underrated and overlooked by others

And if I say Jesus everybody start bookin'
Instantly gaining attention and respect through mentioning Jesus

Get out the kitchen when I'm cookin'
Giving space and stepping back when they are doing something important or creative

Pot sideways, whipping that whipping that bass
Cooking something up in their own unique way

That's what they wanna hear us say
Knowing what their audience wants to hear

Until we all get caught selling twenty dollar rocks
Taking risks and facing consequences

And we're just another slave of the state
Being controlled by the government through punishment

Seeing sideways!
Challenging the conventional and traditional way of doing things
