Southside Lyrics

[Verse 1: Lloyd, Ashanti]
Tell ya daddy stop his hating
Cause I be wearing braids and rocking jerseys daily
But that don't mean I'm thuggin' though
He don't want me with you
But I ain't tryna hear it though
Not tryna hear it though

But I know that if he knew you
He would understand ya
Know that your my man and
He would never hurt me, no

Let me come and see you
So that we can be alone, alone


[Pre-Hook: Lloyd, Ashanti]
Baby I know a place that we can go and be alone
As long as you make sure that you safely get me home
Don't worry, baby

[Hook: Lloyd (Ashanti)]
Meet me at the southside
Get you home by midnight
Make sure that your daddy just don't know (daddy just don't know)
I'll put you in the hoodbug
I know what I'm doing cause
That's where we'll be eating on the low (eating on the low)
Meet me at the southside
Baby we can go hide
Knowing that mah boys going have my back (yeah-eeh-yeah)
Only at the southside girl (southside, eh-eeh-eh)
Southside
[Verse 2: Lloyd, Ashanti]
Girl I'll know that we can make it
Cause we won't let him break it

I don't care who with it
Its you and me against the world

Tell me those three words that
Lets me know you're still my girl
Oh baby, yeah

Oh, I swear I'll never leave you (Why?)
People have lied to you
But by your side I'll show you
The way a girl needs to roll
You don't need a lot of money

I'm ready, come pick me up (Pick me up)


[Pre-Hook: Lloyd, Ashanti]
Baby I know a place that we can go and be alone, yeah
As long as you make sure that you safely get me home
Don't worry, baby

[Hook: Lloyd (Ashanti)]
Meet me at the southside
Get you home by midnight (midnight)
Make sure that your daddy just don't know (oh, no-no-no)
I'll put you in the hoodbug
I know what I'm doing cause
That's where we'll be eating on the low (eating on the low, oh)
Meet me at the southside
Baby we can go hide
Knowing that mah boys going have my back (we can go hide babe)
Only at the southside girl (yeah-eeh-yeah)
