[00:00:17] 278 you already know

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:44] Oh

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

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

[00:00:48] Or in the court

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:08] Boys from the Southside

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:27] Oh

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:18] Would be outlined

[00:02:19] Shot on sight

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

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

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

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

[00:02:28] Six words

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:38] From the islands

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

[00:02:41] Yeah Jandals

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:02] Long distance

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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