Lyrics B.o.B – Eastside Tales

Intro
Shouts out to all my hoods across the A gettin it in
My Eastside niggaz, my Westside niggaz
Big shouts to the Northside («DJ Spinz, fuck nigga!»)

Chorus
I could go on and on for days and days and song for song yeah
{«Let me tell you all about it»}
I could go on and on for days and days and song for song yeah
{«Let me tell you all about it»}
It’s ’bout that Eastside tale, yeah I can tell you ’bout that Eastside tale
{«Let me tell you all about it»}
It’s ’bout that Eastside tale, let me tell you ’bout another Eastside tale
{«Let me tell you all about it»}

Interlude
(«M… L… K!!»)
Let me say again! You’ll never know that no matter what song
what the concept is or whatever, I’m tryin to keep it 100
So I may not be givin you the story but the story got the truth in it
You feel me? («SCREAM!!»)

B.o.B
Oh yeah, believe it, I can tell many secrets
But the mo’ I talk about them that’s just the mo’ that you see ’em
Yup — I’m a believer, not sayin I’m religious
But I see somethin wrong with how we livin in my city
Why everybody from Decatur wanna be a sanger?
or be an entertainer, or to be rich and famous?
You see us on TV, you sit for hours and you stare
Not sayin that we Gods, but that’s what they try to make us

Chorus

Interlude

B.o.B
Hell yeah I’m from the Eastside
Ain’t sayin it just to get the streets behind me
Ain’t like slum, but I know where I’m from
So I spit it for the slums and the street society
It’s yo’ block that I’m beatin down
So that real shit’s what I’m speakin ’bout
Now I can probably, tell you a lie
to tell the stories about people’s problems
But everything that I got to say is
contagious like
?
Don’t play ball but I’m Atlanta’s Bravest
So if I’m fake then it’s not today
Now I can sit up here and lie up in my rhyme
and tell you everything is fine but y’all ain’t blind — nah!

Chorus
