[Verse 1]
I've been thinking 'bout the west side
Lot of nights, lot of hard rides
Still I'm grateful for my day ones
Kept me up when the rain come
We was broke, still we made plans
Dirty hands, but we stayed fam
Now I smile when I hook one
Little joy in the sun, son
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need much
Just my circle and luck
If the world get rough
We hold each other up
[Chorus]
West side, stay tight
My people, my life
West side, stay tight
We rise, we don't die
(We rise, we don't die)
West side, stay tight
[Verse 2]
Got a line in the water, patient
Heavy thoughts, but I'm still breathing
I been learning how to keep peace
How to turn pain into sweet weeks
If they talking, let 'em talk then
I got love in my corner, all in
Every win got a hundred names
Every scar taught me how to change
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need much
Just my circle and luck
If the world get rough
We hold each other up
[Chorus]
West side, stay tight
My people, my life
West side, stay tight
We rise, we don't die
(We rise, we don't die)
West side, stay tight
[Bridge]
I want more life, more light
More long talks, more quiet nights
If I cast out, I cast hope
Pull it in, then we all float
[Chorus]
West side, stay tight
My people, my life
West side, stay tight
We rise, we don't die
(We rise, we don't die)
West side, stay tight
