[Intro: Cassidy]   Whose side are you leanin' on?   I'm leanin' on the Lord's side   I lean, I lean, I lean, I lean   I'm leanin' on the Lord's side      [Chorus: Angie Stone]   Whose side are you leanin' on?   I'm leanin' on the Lord's side   I lean, I lean, I lean, I lean   I'm leanin' on the Lord's side [x2]      [Verse 1:]   Here's a story about a youngin' that started off strugglin'   He didn't like his life so he started off hustlin'   He was doin good in the hood with the cane   Whole hood knew his name, he had neighborhood fame   Now he stays dressed up   Just copped the fresh trucks   Stepped his rep up, plus he stepped his connect up   But guess what, he don't even mess with his old niggas   They hatin' cause he makin' more money those niggas   So one day when he was chillin on the block, dealin' rock   Tryin' to make a killin' on the block   Some dudes came, masks down, told him lay his ass down   Then they blasts rounds and started fillin' him with shots   He can't feel his legs, got grazed in his head yo   He might be paralyzed but he could've been dead though   He on his bed yo, prayin' to God   If he survives that he promise to stay on his side      [Chorus x2]      Here's a story about a shorty chasin' the cream   Her daddy was an inmate, her mommy was a fiend   Her grandmoms old so she couldn't get control of her   It was all love 'til the drugs took a hold of her   First it was liquor then it was weed   Then next came the wet then the syrup and V's, E's   Oxy Contin, she poppin' them pills   And if you got a couple dollars she'll hop in your wheel (For real)   Until one day a nigga with paper   Took her out, got her pilled up then he raped up   Fam even had a camcorder and taped her   As soon as her high faded, shorty felt violated   So she stopped gettin' high all the damn time   Only person she could talk to was her grandmom   Now every Sunday she be goin' to church with her   She leaned on the lord, now he startin' to work with her      [Chorus x2]      Here's a story about a young rapper named Cassidy   He started off at 13, I mean he actually   Signed his first deal when he was still goin' to high school   10th grade, way back then he was a fly dude   He played by the rules, determined to get cake   He started off battlin' and rippin' the mixtapes   But he didn't take the same path that the rest do   He dropped a debut that was highly successful   That's when the respect came, that's when the checks came   He realized life is like playin' a chess game   Him and Swizz, they started makin' the next album   They say when you make more money expect problems   But the problem that he faced was unheard of   They locked him up, no bail and charged him with murder   But now he got his freedom restored   And he livin' his dream that's why he leanin' on the side of the lord      [Chorus x6]
