Oh My Dis Side
Travi$ Scott Lyrics

Yeah
Acknowledgement of what is being said

Oh my, oh my
Expression of surprise or amazement

I've been up for a long time
Has been awake for a long time without rest

Broad day
In the middle of the day

I've been popping pills
Has been taking pills, possibly for recreational use or addiction

Pouring syrup, everyday
Consistently using or abusing cough syrup, potentially containing codeine

Cuzo hanging at my aunty house (bando!) selling ye
Cousin is selling drugs in an abandoned house

I got shooters dressed in camo (Grrrra!)
Has armed associates hidden in the surroundings

I've been in and out the courthouse, jury tripping
Has been to court many times and struggling to avoid conviction

I've been flipping, flipping syrup, sipping, water whipping
Has been selling codeine cough syrup while using it himself, and cooking cocaine with water

Mama kicked me out the house now, oh my
Mother has kicked him out of the family home

I might end up on the couch now, oh my
May have to resort to sleeping on a couch

I'm on a flight now (yeah!), oh my
Is travelling by airplane

LA at another couch now, oh my
Has reached LA, possibly to stay on another couch

I'm counting up nothing but Benjamin's right now (money!)
Is counting only $100 bills

Oh my
Expression of surprise or amazement

I'm on a flight now, we so high
Is in a plane and in a euphoric state

About to get some cash now (cash!), oh my
Is about to receive a substantial amount of money

Got my momma that new house now (momma!), oh my
Has purchased a new house for his mother

Now she cannot kick me out now (no!), oh my
Is now safe from being kicked out of his mother's home

Wow
Expression of surprise or amazement

Let me tell you a little story about this side
Introduces the theme of the struggles of living in a particular environment

You really can't make it on this side
It's almost impossible to succeed in this neighborhood

Lot of lone stars on this side
There are many individuals without a support system

I feel a lot at home on this side
Despite the challenges, this is still where he feels comfortable

Ball 'til we fall on this side
Will continue to enjoy life as much as possible with the time he has

Lit late night on this side
The nightlife is lively and exciting in this neighborhood

You never come around past midnight
It's dangerous to be out late

You miss everything on this side
There's a lot of excitement to be found if you are willing to risk it

I made a lot of money on this side
Despite the challenges of the neighborhood, he has been financially successful

Lost a lot of money on this side
Has also experienced financial loss from the neighborhood's risks

Had my first kiss on this side
Has experienced important life events in this neighborhood

Learned a lot of shit about this side
Has learned life lessons from living in this neighborhood

Clearly I've been thinking about this side
Has been contemplating going back to this neighborhood

Tryna get back on this side
Desires to return to this place

Tryna get back what's been mine
Wants to reclaim what is rightfully his

I gotta get back on this side
Feels it's important to return to this neighborhood

Really miss the feeling of the late nights
Misses the excitement of staying up late

Shit we used to do around midnight
Reminisces about fun things done late at night

Hangin' on the corner had shit tight
Has spent time hanging out on the street corners

Doin' all the drugs had to get right
Used drugs to cope with the difficulties of the neighborhood

If I could get my partner back it would be nice
Wishes to reunite with a former partner

He would shoot the one, wouldn't think twice
The former partner would protect him without hesitation

He was too involved with the street life
The former partner was heavily involved in criminal activities

Only way to live on this side
Criminal involvement is a necessity to survive in this neighborhood

Young rich nigga from the Northside
Identifies himself as a wealthy individual from the northern part of his city

Paid my dues on this side
Has earned his success through trials and tribulations of this neighborhood

Flipping up bricks on this side
Making money from drug dealing

I made it out the hood I'm on the other side
Has successfully escaped the constraints and dangers of the neighborhood

All my niggas on this side
His closest friends are from this neighborhood

Keep it one hundred on this side
His friends are truthful and loyal

Love to get money on this side
The neighborhood is still a source of financial gain

No new niggas on this side
Doesn't trust new people in this neighbourhood

Look at my diamonds don't get blind (don't get blind)
Has expensive jewelry

You better handcuff you ho with a zip tie (cuff!)
Advising other men to keep their women under control

Cuh, will I take a busta down on this side (woo!)
Asks if he would take out someone he dislikes in his neighborhood

Broke niggas stand to the left side
Has no interest in associating with financially struggling people

Handsome and wealthy on this side
Proud of his financial success and appearance

I came from the bottom and now I'm on top that's phenomenal (phenomenal)
Feels he has accomplished something considerable by coming from such a difficult place to a position of success

If I did not make it, I wonder where I would go
The success achieved has made him wonder where he could have ended up without it

Graduated from the midget
Has moved on from a low point in his life

This the life I was living
This was his lifestyle in the past

Graduated to a million
Has achieved great financial success

This the money that I'm getting
This is where his wealth has come from

Graduated from a hotbox now I ride around in a Bentley
Has moved on from a difficult or uncomfortable living situation to a luxurious one, now owning and driving a Bentley car

This how we do it on
This is the lifestyle he has now

Always, always this side
Always identifies with, and remembers this neighborhood

That's right, that's right
Acknowledgement of the truth in what he's saying

You never come around past midnight
It's dangerous to be out late

Midnight, midnight
Reference to the time of night

You know how I like my lean, poured right
Enjoys codeine cough syrup and having it prepared correctly

Just right
Satisfied with how the syrup is made

Find everything you need, everything you need on this side
Despite the difficulties, everything needed can be found in this neighborhood

This side, this side, this side, this side
Repetition and emphasis on the importance of this neighborhood

This side, this side, this side
Further repetition and emphasis on the importance of this neighborhood
