This some of that Southside, OTS shit
Yeah, yeah yeah uh
My nigga Sean told me that we OTS
I ask him what that mean
And he said Only Through Self
Cause when you down bad
You never ask for no help
And you gone shit on anyone
Who play you to the left
Yeah yeah
Free all my niggas in the cell
They spirit righteous
But them niggas been through hell
My nigga Bam told me that we OTS
I ask him what that mean
And he said Only Through Self
Only Through Self
Just a young nigga from the Southside
I remember nights we was outside
Tryna make it out but ain't see no way
Pray for all my folks still making plays in the 4 way
From 138 to 42 we had the juice
Back in Lake City I had p's in my room
I would skip class and the trap was my school
Was working graveyard I had good money fool
In this life you gotta find out what's you for you
I was living false but I always stayed true
Was heavy in the game but I ain't even know the rules
And that's how you get played like a fool
Yeah
Self reliance is my mood
If you ever need them don't give them the slightest clue
Cause if they know you need them they gone move how they move
And all you ever really need is you
My nigga Sean told me that we OTS
I ask him what that mean
And he said Only Through Self
Cause when you down bad
You never ask for no help
And you gone shit on anyone
Who play you to the left
Yeah yeah
Free all my niggas in the cell
They spirit righteous
But them niggas been through hell
My nigga Bam told me that we OTS

Only Through Self
Just a young nigga from the Southside

Tryna make it out but ain't see no way
