Oh[00:00:01]

Oh[00:00:03]

Oh[00:00:05]

Oh[00:00:06]

Oh[00:00:07]

Oh[00:00:10]

Oh[00:00:12]

Oh[00:00:14]

Oh[00:00:15]

Oh[00:00:16]

278 you already know[00:00:17]

It ain't really much to look at but it's home[00:00:19]

Used to bus from the old bar which was to go[00:00:21]

Into town rolling through otahuhu depot[00:00:23]

Thinking how we ended up here[00:00:25]

Yeah no secret theres some people doing tough here[00:00:27]

Could be rough here if your parents come here from an island[00:00:29]

In the hope of a better life[00:00:32]

For the child and an education[00:00:33]

But they ain't got time to keep an eye on 'em[00:00:34]

They workin' every day[00:00:36]

They won't even see retirement[00:00:37]

School don't teach you to deal with this environment[00:00:38]

Another poly kid left to his own devices[00:00:41]

And you look at what they reinforce[00:00:42]

Oh[00:00:44]

When they talk about us doing crime playing sports[00:00:45]

Standing in the dole line[00:00:47]

Or in the court[00:00:48]

Think it don't affect us all[00:00:49]

Look at boys from the Southside Southside[00:00:51]

If you looking from the outside[00:00:53]

Some scared to death when they see us[00:00:55]

'Cos every 107 they featurin'[00:00:57]

Boys from the Southside Southside[00:00:59]

But we represent it with pride[00:01:02]

When you feel you come from the bottom[00:01:04]

'Til you reach the top[00:01:06]

Ain't no stopping 'em[00:01:07]

Boys from the Southside[00:01:08]

It's about time all the people talking sh*t now[00:01:09]

Figure out why this town is so influential[00:01:12]

The real melting pot immigration central[00:01:15]

Culture our knives be so instrumental[00:01:17]

But still we never acting like we too d**n special[00:01:19]

Don't ever let nobody say we all just criminals[00:01:21]

Round here it ain't all that simple[00:01:24]

Oh[00:01:27]

Raised there struggle city a place where[00:01:28]

A population whorey five slash amazing[00:01:30]

Most of 'em work 9 to 5 to pay rent[00:01:32]

Go to church and sing songs and pray for better days[00:01:35]

Better pay and a better location[00:01:37]

The kids choose sport over education[00:01:39]

And dream that one day the all blacks take them[00:01:41]

Somewhere exposed to the drugs and the gang life[00:01:43]

Think it's cool to get involved end up in the can right[00:01:45]

Got a lot of teens pushing prams before they see life[00:01:47]

'Cos their parents did the same[00:01:49]

Thing so it seems right[00:01:50]

Seem right to say the same[00:01:52]

A product of pride over law so[00:01:53]

When they got my back like the tat on my torso[00:01:55]

That's why I give back ask where my awards go[00:01:57]

To the schools in the Southside Southside[00:01:59]

If you're looking for me outside[00:02:02]

Some scared of death when they see us[00:02:04]

Then they talk sh*t when they leave[00:02:06]

Like the boys from the Southside Southside[00:02:08]

Are good for nothing so f**k 'em[00:02:11]

Give 'em no chance just cuff 'em[00:02:13]

If it was up to the cops and the judges[00:02:15]

The boys from the Southside[00:02:17]

Would be outlined[00:02:18]

Shot on sight[00:02:19]

Here we got crime in the area[00:02:20]

If you got shine then it's any up[00:02:22]

Only 'cos we broke tryna get our accounts right[00:02:24]

What's going in our minds[00:02:26]

Six words[00:02:28]

How we gonna get by[00:02:29]

I don't know exactly[00:02:31]

But we ain't gonna wait in the dole line[00:02:32]

Yeah 267 landed a aeroplane[00:02:34]

Back when my parents came[00:02:37]

From the islands[00:02:38]

With a bible and a pair of J's[00:02:39]

Yeah Jandals[00:02:41]

Trying to set a better way to get our educa[00:02:42]

Tions that we found street smarts and[00:02:44]

A free pass to the green pastures[00:02:46]

Around these parts we were blessed with the big heart[00:02:48]

That can see past all the eat asses[00:02:50]

Aw what you thought I was gonna talk[00:02:52]

All about walking with gangs where the drugs be[00:02:54]

How about I touch on how[00:02:56]

David lange ran the country[00:02:58]

Right where the thugs be[00:02:59]

John walker might run at the tops[00:03:01]

Long distance[00:03:02]

Scott Dixon on the track now[00:03:03]

Rather a hand up than a hand down[00:03:05]

All my people stand down[00:03:07]

When I'm back out the Southside Southside[00:03:08]

Black white with the brown pride[00:03:11]

Even yellows part of the picture[00:03:13]

The boy all ups a perfect mixture[00:03:15]

Here up out the southside Southside[00:03:17]

Everywhere this sh*t 'til the death[00:03:20]

Walk with my head held high to the sky[00:03:21]

My T shirt say Southside 'til I die[00:03:23]

The boy from the Southside[00:03:26]

The bodies outlined with an aura[00:03:27]

You can see it so clearly[00:03:29]

I mean it looks like a dairy[00:03:31]

Or a scorpians home crowd cheering[00:03:33]

Or a Otahuhu mums eyes tearing[00:03:35]

Not when the sons graduated from O C[00:03:37]

26 to the 27 to the 29 of the[00:03:39]

09 that's where the home be[00:03:42]
