Westside
Ty Dolla $ign Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Southside, they're thick like apple pie
The East coast, the girls are down to ride
But I rep the Westside
You know I love the, the Westside, Westside
You know I, I've been all around the world I still love the Westside
Palm Trees and the pretty girls
You know I love Westside
And the movie stars shine, Westside
You know we stay out all the time
That's why I love the Westside
Bitch, I'm from the Westside
Fuck them niggas, fuck them niggas from the other side
I got a bad lil bitch, just like left-eye
I got a foreign but I still like to low ride
I used to listen to that Chronic now I'm blowing Kush
Steph Curry on them hoes
I just throw the swoosh
I rep the gang, gang, gang, get it understood
This one for the homies from my neighbourhood
The Westside, girls are extra fine
The Southside, they're thick like apple pie
The East coast, the girls are down to ride
But I rep the Westside
You know I love the, the Westside, Westside
You know I, I've been all around the world I still love the Westside
Palm trees and the pretty girls
You know I love Westside
Throwing up them gang signs
And the movie stars shine, Westside
You know we stay out all the time
That's why I love the Westside
Where they throw them B's and C's up
I wake up, count my money then I roll some weed up
I chuck a whole hundred pack
I had to re-up
I got that work, I got that work, I fucked the streets up
Top down in the summer
Full nigga, cash rich nigga, do what he wanna
I'm from Southern California
Hit the weed man and fuck up some commas
The Westside, girls are extra fine
The Southside, they're thick like apple pie
The East coast, the girls are down to ride
But I rep the Westside
You know I love the, the Westside, Westside
Might be from out of town but she know how I get down
Told her she should stick around and help me blow a whole pound
This tall lady on the Westside
Make a pocket piggy on the Westside
Good pussy on the Westside
You already know it's the best side, yeah
The Westside, girls are extra fine
The Southside, they're thick like apple pie
The East coast, the girls are down to ride
But I rep the Westside
You know I love the, the Westside, Westside
You know I, I've been all around the world, I still love the Westside
Palm trees and the pretty girls
You know I love Westside
Throwing up them gang signs
And the movie stars shine, Westside
You know we stay out all the time
That's why I love the Westside
The lyrics to Ty Dolla $ign's "Westside" express a love and appreciation for the west coast of the United States, specifically California. The first verse explains how the girls on the Westside are "extra fine," and are contrasted with those on the Southside, who are described as "thick like apple pie," and those on the East Coast, who are "down to ride." However, despite the varying qualities of women in different regions, the artist remains loyal to the Westside. The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing the love for palm trees, pretty girls, and gang signs, as well as the constant glow of movie stars.
The second verse delves into some of the more gritty aspects of life on the Westside, sprinkled with references to famous Californians like Snoop Dogg and Steph Curry. The artist boasts about his gang affiliation and the fact that he does not associate with those from "the other side." He also mentions his wealth, drug use, and hustle, and how driving around in a car with the top down represents freedom and power. The last part of the verse focuses on a woman who decides to stick around to "blow a whole pound," possibly indicating that the song is also about the appeal of the Westside to outsiders.
Overall, "Westside" is a tribute to the unique lifestyle and culture of California's Westside, from the beautiful scenery to the gang activity and everything in between.
