[Intro: Rob-O]
For all the honeys and the checks all over the world
[Verse 1: Rob-O]
Paint a perfect picture, try to imagine soild as a rock, old fashioned
It's a love affair that you and I share, yeah, see I know that I'm
In there
Whether with the crew or if I'm all alone
Be there home just lougin' on the telephone
Calls us what you like but what I feel is deep inside (Say what)
Check it but see I'm from the Northside
[Interlude]
*Krossroads echoing*
[Verse 2: Rob-O]
Now don't misunderstand get plaese to me, elaborate
On this situtation from the very first day I could'nt wait to
Introduce you to my set, but better yet do you remember how we met?
Looking at Rob when you was walking up the av
You seemed sad but the God could make you laugh
A chuck chuck chuckle I read your name buckle
It said "Shh". So I said "What!"
Excuse me miss, see your very inviting
So let me sooth you with some I.N.I. enlightening
See love is so revealing, find you quite appealing
Lost because yo I can't define this feelings that I'm feeling
(Yo cousin's trapped up in the ravender)
But see honey dip I flip the flavor that you capture
Has me fallen in deeper but I can't control the tide (Why?)
You see your from the Southside
[Chorus: Pete Rock]
From the South, to the West, to the East, to North
This is for the ladies InI break you off
We on the KrossRoads non-stop for the wisdom
This is for the love I'm a give em' yeah
[Verse 3: Rob-O]
Push the extence where my predicaments got so immense
I got tired of dropping hints
The jets the intense with all the bullshit and nonsense
But **** it bust the main event (Tell them)
Just because your from the Southside I'm from the North
The kids around your way act soft
And I bet, to set up for wreck, any time that they suspect
I'm coming around the prospect projects
Now I'm cool with some others but basically the brothers in your building
They all seem to have the same feeling and the celler
I come around your way and I feel liked I'm welcome so sometimes I just won't come
You get fuss at me, I get fuss at you we start wildin'
To the point wanna throw my towel in
Based on the fact that you still don't understand...
That I'm from the Northside
[Interlude]
*Krossroads echoing*
[Verse 4: Rob-O]
Paint a perfect picture, try to imagine soild as a rock old fashioned
Was a love affair that you and I share, yeah, see I thought I was in there
But I took the time to analyze the skit
Finally had the dip on this thing called "Our Relationship" it wasn't happening, word to the mother
I found love lost love, I guess I'll find another
So being that your ex-boyfriend was a drug dealer
Shouldn't affect the way that I feel
But it does gives me a clue to where your head was (I was hurt)
But better days are ahead cause I tried and I tried and worked and worked
But P.R. on the beat you know we can't get jerked
Fallen in deeper but I can't control the tide (can't do it)
You see your from the Southside
[Chorus: Pete Rock]
From the South, to the West, to the East, to North
This is for the ladies InI break you off
We on the KrossRoads non-stop for the wisdom
This is for the love I'm a give em' yeah
From the South, to the West, to the East, to North
This is for the ladies InI break you off
We on the KrossRoads non-stop for the wisdom
This is for the love I'm a give em' yeah
