Orrin Lyrics

Prod. Warren Wolfe
First verse:
After dark, when I see you with your friends and they spend missing
How we used to chill out in your car until the winter made us end.
Always making plans,
Girl don't need a man, you flex because you can
And left the realist nigga that you'll ever meet again.
Cause young boy on his grind,
Never wait in line.
Told you all that other shit is just a waste of time well.
Ya nigga need a stylist.
Watch the money pile up.
You know I don't give a fuck,
Just watch me throw these dollars (holla)
Pocket on a diet,
You been living large,
Credit never charged but it's hard to
Stay sharp. (Guess you just needed inspir -)
Miss me when I'm gone,
Hate me once I'm there,
Then you wanna know why you feel unclear.
By my side, I told you down to ride.
I told you I would always keep a bad bitch by my side and.
Yeah she down to ride,
She down to change the tide,
I tell you once again for us to work you gotta try (gotta try)
Section B:
I know you wanna know where I be,
I know you be asking who is she,
Hitting me every damn day of the week.
Climax until peak, that is why I'm at your feet.
And I notice you upset cause I don't care that you
Left, catch us poking out our chest like. (chest like)
Like you do with your breasts,
Tight skirt with the flex,
Blue jeans still distressed right. (stress right)
Rolling and rolling I told you, it's loud
Told you I'd fuck round and jump in the crowd.
Pretense to late left me now a man down
Love me to leave me now how does that sound.
If I, ever, see you. I will want you!
I just wanna know if you are gone too!
Faded like we are I know we can't relate!
Take my hand and let's just go to outer space!
In "By My Side," Orrin reminisces about past love while dealing with the present reality of a lost relationship. In the first verse, he talks about how he misses being with his ex-girlfriend and how they used to spend time in her car until winter made them end. He also comments on her independence, saying that she doesn't need a man and left the "realest nigga" she will ever meet again. Orrin then talks about how he is focused on his grind and making money, telling her that all the other things are just a waste of time. The chorus is a repetition of how he had promised to keep a bad bitch by his side, but to make it work, they both need to try.
In the second section, Orrin talks about how his ex-girlfriend is upset but he doesn't care about her new man. He also talks about how he is rolling and getting high, and how he wants her back but he knows that they can't relate anymore. Finally, he talks about wanting to see her again and wanting her to take his hand and go to outer space with him.
Overall, the lyrics can be interpreted as a reflection of a past relationship that ended because of different priorities in life. Orrin's focus on his career and making money clashes with his ex-girlfriend's independence, resulting in a failed relationship. Despite his desire to get back together, Orrin understands that they're at different points in their lives, and he wants to move on from the past.

The funny things is he actually makes good music
@gggardiney
Jona Vasquez I hate this type of rap, but ya it's pretty good
@Kevin-de2by
I think he’s been trolling everyone just to get attention and not gonna lie it worked
@paxtv5169
low key tho
@prayreh7441
For real
@sxt610
Kevin Rose wow so smart...
@roman_trnr
This is the smartest finesse I’ve ever seen to promote their music ... him and his family finessed Dr. Phil for free
@johnykash6856
That type of scam should be illegal. On Dr. Phil he was talking “we” this n “we” that and all this cyborg bullshit. Meanwhile, this virgin on the song, cappin, talking about flexing and fucking hoes n shit. You got real rappers getting shot and killed this clown ova here making a fool of himself.
@dickymeat08

GasNMud251 yea that shit got me a lil vex. Lol
