West Side

Em                 D    C
From the west side
          C                Em
Where the cowboys roam the night
          B             C
The Monte Carlos rumble by
            E               Em
Under these faded old street lights
Em                   D
Whoa-whoa on the west side rules 
don't apply
D    C        D
For a man on a mission, (West Side) 
either you live or you die (Ha ha)
Em                            
This is my struggle, (You got a 
               B                   
choice) this is my story, this is 
    C
my life
   D                     Em
Whoa, (Struggle) welcome to my west 
side

[Verse 1]

I was born in a flood so I can 
D
breathe underwater
          C            D
My father was a martyr on the cross 
for sons and daughters
Em                                 
Hate and karma's got a price and I 
B
collected that payment
      C                           
Smoke clears, burnt rubber, empty 
B             D
shells on the pavement
Em                  D            
Smoke lingers, ears ringin', 
                  D
blood drippin' from a trigger finger
C                 D
Feelin' like I'll never get right 
with God
Em Am                B
If not I'll gain his trust and gun 
down the Devil
C                   B      D
Boondock Saint, two Glocks in war 
paint
Em                  D
Soul's not for sale and my heart’s 
never fake
          D                        
They kept sayin' that I couldn't 
  D
but I never claimed I can't

    Am                             
See the grind's always worth it 
  B
when you're searchin' for a purpose
B                                  
I came up out the furnace belt ’n’ 
B
boots made of serpents

[Chorus]

Em                  D   D
From the west side
          B                Em
Where the cowboys roam the night
          B             C
The Monte Carlos rumble by
            E
Under these faded old street lights
Em                    D
Whoa-whoa on the west side rules 
don't apply
D                       D
For a man on a mission, either you 
live or you die
Am                   Bm   B     
This is my struggle, this is my 
                  C
story, this is my life
     D
Whoa-whoa, welcome to my west side

[Verse 2]

      Em                          
I was twelve years old walkin' to 
D
H&H market
                    C         D
For some Big League gum and a NASCAR
 of Dale Earnhardt
     Am                            
Skateboarded at St. Lukes, ran from
 B
 neighbors pit bulls
           C                       
Yeah, them things had no chains 
           B   D
like a broken-ass Mongoose
       Em                          
Play t-ball at Charlotte Park with 
D
210 Hillwood class
      C                         
And I hung out with some crazies 
 D
down on California Ave
          Am                     
I met 'em through my cousin Timmy 
            B             A
the summer that I stayed out west
C                              
Ridin' around in that single cab 
              C          D
bumpin' The Definition of Real album
    Em                    D
Who hotter than me? Yeah, that shit 
puts me into that vibe
D                                 
Makes me wanna pull out that 90's 
D
model roast some tread off of them 
tires
D              Em                
And every time I pass Metro I 
   B
think about that time
   C                     C       
We swapped seats on I-40 doin' a 
C           D
hundred and five

[Chorus]

Em                 D     D
From the west side
          D                Em
Where the cowboys roam the night
          B             C
The Monte Carlos rumble by
            E         Em
Under these faded old street lights
          D           D
Whoa-whoa on the west side rules 
don't apply
D                       D
For a man on a mission, either you 
live or you die
Am                   Bm   B     
This is my struggle, this is my 
                  C
story, this is my life
      D             Em   D
Whoa, welcome to my west side
