[Intro: Cassidy]
|
Whose side are you leanin' on?
|
I'm leanin' on the Lord's side
|
I lean, I lean, I lean, I lean
|
I'm leanin' on the Lord's side
|
|
[Chorus: Angie Stone]
|
Whose side are you leanin' on?
|
I'm leanin' on the Lord's side
|
I lean, I lean, I lean, I lean
|
I'm leanin' on the Lord's side [x2]

[Verse 1]
|
Here's a story about a youngin' that started off strugglin'
|
He didn't like his life so he started off hustlin'
|
He was doin good in the hood with the cane
|
Whole hood knew his name, he had neighborhood fame
|
Now he stays dressed up
|
Just copped the fresh trucks
|
Stepped his rep up, plus he stepped his connect up
|
But guess what, he don't even mess with his old niggas
|
They hatin' cause he makin' more money those niggas
|
So one day when he was chillin on the block, dealin' rock
|
Tryin' to make a killin' on the block
|
Some dudes came, masks down, told him lay his ass down
|
Then they blasts rounds and started fillin' him with shots
|
He can't feel his legs, got grazed in his head yo
|
He might be paralyzed but he could've been dead though
|
He on his bed yo, prayin' to God
|
If he survives that he promise to stay on his side
|
|
[Chorus (x2)]
|
|
Here's a story about a shorty chasin' the cream
|
Her daddy was an inmate, her mommy was a fiend
|
Her grandmoms old so she couldn't get control of her
|
It was all love 'til the drugs took a hold of her
|
First it was liquor then it was weed
|
Then next came the wet then the syrup and V's, E's
|
Oxy Contin, she poppin' them pills
|
And if you got a couple dollars she'll hop in your wheel (For real)
|
Until one day a nigga with paper
|
Took her out, got her pilled up then he raped up
|
Fam even had a camcorder and taped her
|
As soon as her high faded, shorty felt violated
|
So she stopped gettin' high all the damn time
|
Only person she could talk to was her grandmom
|
Now every Sunday she be goin' to church with her
|
She leaned on the lord, now he startin' to work with her
|
|
[Chorus (x2)]
|
|
Here's a story about a young rapper named Cassidy
|
He started off at 13, I mean he actually
|
Signed his first deal when he was still goin' to high school
|
10th grade, way back then he was a fly dude
|
He played by the rules, determined to get cake
|
He started off battlin' and rippin' the mixtapes
|
But he didn't take the same path that the rest do
|
He dropped a debut that was highly successful
|
That's when the respect came, that's when the checks came
|
He realized life is like playin' a chess game
|
Him and Swizz, they started makin' the next album
|
They say when you make more money expect problems
|
But the problem that he faced was unheard of
|
They locked him up, no bail and charged him with murder
|
But now he got his freedom restored
|
And he livin' his dream that's why he leanin' on the side of the lord
|
|
[Chorus (x6)]
