Reason Westside
Though many expected 2020 to be a major year for Top Dawg Entertainment, it ultimately ended up being quite the opposite. In fact, the legendary label’s output was pretty much carried by Reason, who saw the release of his major-label debut album New Beginnings in October. Giving his labelmates time to regroup for the new year, Reason went a long way in keeping TDE’s momentum strong, continuing to this day with the release of his new “Westside” visuals. And while many have come to appreciate Reason for his bars, this latest single showcases another side of his personality.
For the most part, the Moosa-directed “Westside” visuals capture the track’s romantic vibe, depicting a love story that ends in an explosive fashion. Standing on the outside looking in at a seemingly strained relationship, Reason is forced to intervene and set things right, seizing his lady love and bringing her back into his world. True, romance might not have been what one expected to hear from the twisted mind behind “Might Not Make It,” but Reason’s New Beginning provided a more thorough glimpse into the lyricist’s multifaceted artistry.

Meet me on the westside, westside, westside
Just meet me on the westside, westside, westside
Meet me on the westside, westside, westside
Meet me on the westside, westside, westside
Just think about it
You put everything in it hoping your soul will grow
All it lead to is blame games and “I told you so”
Fuck on the same page, y’all in different books
Four years in and it’s hard to let go, clubbin’ and parties
You drink away regret with Coke and Bacardi
Sex ain’t even present, romantically starving
Don’t treat you like you Ken, but he dealin’ with Barbies
Loving you hardly
This shit a cycle, cycle, you pray he wife you
Make or break up like you in high school
Frozen pictures, soul less present
Got you feeling you barely know this nigga
Words out the same old book
You need ibuprofen, all that pain you took
You gon’ hit the town, nice dress to stand out
Funny how them girl nights never pan out
They never do
Cuss and fight and fuss and fight and shit
Apologies, throw ice up on your wrist
Wastin’ years just praying, hope he change
Girl, you act like time just don’t exist
If you down, got places we can go
Ain’t no rush, girl, I can take it slow
Ain’t no rush, girl, I just need to know
I just want you bad
Meet me on the westside, westside, westside
Just meet me on the westside, westside, westside
Meet me on the westside, westside, westside (Only on the west)
Meet me on the westside, westside, westside
Yeah, yeah
‘Cause baby, nothin’ that you do can make a difference (Mmm)
And you blame yourself for him fuckin’ with bitches (Mmm, yeah)
Then memories all catch up, you hold it like pallbearers
Deletin’, the love being inconsistent, just follow that
Years down the drain, it’s hard for you to swallow that
Look, trust me, I get it, ’cause I done walked down that path too
But if love was rent, baby, then that nigga past due
Every time I walk past you I can see it in your
Face expressions ’cause you neglected
You should let me change that for you
A better life, girl, I swear I can arrange that for you
A couple years down the line, you get a ring and a Maybach for you, huh
Or maybe I’ll just bring a Range back for you
‘Cause I done came a long way to find somebody that match me
Hood attitude with a soul so classy
So why you puttin’ up with these niggas so trash?
I see ya
Cuss and fight and fuss and fight and shit
Apologies, throw ice up on your wrist
Wastin’ years just praying, hope he change
Girl, you act like time just don’t exist
If you down, got places we can go
Ain’t no rush, girl, I can take it slow
Ain’t no rush, girl, I just need to know
I just want you bad
Meet me on the westside, westside, westside
Just meet me on the westside, westside, westside (Oh)
Meet me on the westside, westside, westside (Ooh, oh)
Meet me on the westside, westside, westside (Oh)
(Oh, ooh)
(Oh, oh)
