Southside Rise

Yeah, it's that Southside story, from struggle to glory, UGK vibes, let’s ride.

From the blocks where the heat don't ever cool

Raised by the struggle, we learned the rules

Racist eyes try to block my shine

But our grind, it only got better with time

Hustlin' hard in the Texas heat

Turntables scratchin', the city beats

Momma worked twice, daddy wasn’t round

But we made a way, turned it all around

We came up from the south, where the pain was real

From the hate and the struggle, to the mass appeal

Black kings risin', this our time to feel

Success from the ashes, the south's real deal

They tried to hold us back, with their ignorant lies

But our will was stronger, reaching for the skies

From the projects to the stages, we took flight

Now the South's on top, shining bright at night

Turntable spins, scratchin’ tales of the past

Every beat and bar, a story built to last

Never forget where we started from

South Houston streets, now we number one

We came up from the south, where the pain was real

From the hate and the struggle, to the mass appeal

Black kings risin', this our time to feel

Success from the ashes, the south's real deal

Through the storms and the rain, we kept our heads high

Black excellence rising, no limit to the sky

From hate to hope, we rewritten the script

Our story and our triumph, forever equipped

Now cash flow heavy, but the roots stay deep

Honor the streets and the promises we keep

Hustle in the blood, grind in the soul

Southside legends, taking full control

Scratchin’ the vinyl, mixin’ the vibe

This is our anthem, Houston’s pride

From pain to power, from fear to fame

Black voices loud, remember the name

We came up from the south, where the pain was real

From the hate and the struggle, to the mass appeal

Black kings risin', this our time to feel

Success from the ashes, the south's real deal

Southside rise, forever strong

Through the fight, we belong

From the dirt to the sky, our legacy lives on

Houston’s own, the South’s dawn
