This song isn't supposed to be a "lyrical masterpiece", I just tried to put down the feelings I got for my friends and family really hard in this. And I think the result of it so far is exactly what I was trying to get.
So tell me what you think of the lyrics, please?
Jay-19 - Right here by my side
(intro, talking)
This one goes out to all my family and friends...
You're like angles to me...
You're like God's children...
You are saints...
(hook)
saints
right here by my side
and I know, you'll be there for me when I'm low
right here by my side
and you can, make me feel good when I'm sad
(verse)
yo, I'm not even dark but I got black brothers
damn that's love and I got your backs covered
and I love you all like I love my grandmother
I'd give ya'll my meal if it were my last supper
what's the reason for that, the reason is this
you're increasing the bliss, you're the lead in the mist
I share my own blood if you bleed from your wrists
if all of you would die, I'll be leaving this bitch
just to see you all again, at the pearly gates
yo, I hope we're still bonded at thirty eight
I hope we're still bonded in our dirty graves
I would sure carry all of your burdens weight
just to see you all happy, to see you smile
would take a bullet for you, and bleed inside
so I'd feel the pride, of just keeping you alive
I love ya'll to death, there's no need to lie
(hook)
saints
right here by my side
and I know, you'll be there for me when I'm low
right here by my side
and you can, make me feel good when I'm sad
(verse)
I look at my family like stars in the canopy
if you want to hurt them you'll have to handle me
I'll snap your neck off, single handedly
you know I just don't love people randomly
you have to be my blood, my flesh, my air
and that's the only way, to know when I care
and no lyin' man, you wanna cry? you can
there's no doubt in my mind, that I'll be there
just to wipe up your tears and comfort you
I'm your guide in this life that you stumble through
and I thank God that I got this humble crew
it's the die-for-you-mentality, one for two
listen mom and dad, you raised me great
I can never take that love and replace with hate
how you love me back makes me stay amazed
I'm high on love, flying straight to space
(hook)
saints
right here by my side
and I know, you'll be there for me when I'm low
right here by my side
and you can, make me feel good when I'm sad
(verse)
wings on your backs, and the halo stays
you all turned my life into greater days
it's a shame to say but when I fade away
our friendship and love won't stay the same
I won't be there but my soul will guard you
and I will kill Satan if I'm told to haunt you
if you someday say "you're on my shoulders aren't you"
I'll just say yes 'cause I'm to old to argue
if I pass away tomorrow, I'll see you next life
we had a fun ride, 'cause we the best right
our love is raw like the streets on west side
pull your car out now, come on and let's ride
'cause this might be the last time you see me
some drunk dude might just pass by and beat me
I love ya'll to death, damn I speak freely
got two words for my last line; believe me
(hook)
saints
right here by my side
and I know, you'll be there for me when I'm low
right here by my side
and you can, make me feel good when I'm sad
(outro, talking)
amigos para siempre...
blood brothers...
