[Southern Outcasts Tag]:
Southside Bitch

[Intro]:
Yup...uh...yup..

[Hook]:
I put in work, and I'm paying dues
And I'm doing what I gotta do
Life ain't what it seemed to be
Cause happiness ain't in pursuit
But I put in work, and I'm paying dues
And I'm doing what I gotta do
Life ain't what it seemed to be
Cause happiness ain't in pursuit but...

[Verse 1]:
Man,times are hard
And usually I just pray to God
But when yo time up, and them bills due
He ain't there to help you get a job
So I put in work, without mom or church
And this rap gift, more like a curse
Cause when I'm handing out my CD's
People look at me like I ain't worth it
I ain't perfect, I'm still learning
But a kid still broke
So I'm still hurting
Got homies locked up
And they still serving
Got twenty five to life, he ain't deserve
He was set up, the way I heard it
Man forget the verdict, you ain't deserve it
Man forget the verdict, you ain't deserve it
I'm saving up bail money so don't worry cuzz

[Hook]

[Bridge]:
I put in work...
I put in work...
I put in work
Hunnid' dollas for my thoughts
Man you ain't worth it uh

[Verse 2]:
Man times is hard
And usually I just pray to God
But when yo time up, and them bills due
Ain't nobody round' to help me stay alive
So I'm doing dirt, in a trap or verse
And laying back relaxed Ain't ever work
And I got love for people that backed me
Like my mom, Roger, and Shad B
Man, I love yall
And I've come far from that Outcast in that schoolyard
Raised off of them canned foods
And no money left on them debit cards
But that just helped me beileve
That I can be anything that I wanna be
My past friends and family
Hope they rest in peace, man
They all see that I...

[Hook]
