[Intro: Perfekt]
Sideways
Ya
Woo
[Chorus: Perfekt]
Sideways, came in this thing sideways
Get turnt, get lit sideways
Haters lookin' at me sideways
Sideways, sideways
I ain't slept in like 9 days
Heard they be talkin' sideways
Leanin' in this thing sideways, sideways
[Verse 1: KB]
They wanna see your boy Kevin wear (down)
Hope the worst when they tell me go and break a leg, uh
This music with or without me, boy
Still gon' be intersectin' circles like an Audi, boy (sideways)
Feelin' like I'm ballin', boy
Readin' James, can't let my heart harden, boy
Don't need a side chick, the main dish a problem, boy
I be turnin' down girls by the volume, boy (sideways)
Do what we wanna do
Truth and the fruit, who really wanna juice?
Move with a humble few, these dudes who befuddle you
Derek Jeter boy, we cool being number two, uh
Them sons of the Father
Beast all four quarters won't change for a dollar
I put it on my momma
I ain't got no worries like hakuna matata
[Chorus: Perfekt]
Sideways, came in this thing sideways
Get turnt, get lit sideways
Haters lookin' at me sideways
Sideways, sideways
I ain't slept in like 9 days
Heard they be talkin' sideways (Hold up)
Leanin' in this thing sideways, sideways (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2: KB]
The Lion King said D-I-E
Then brought us back to life like a EMT
No Biggie to me that you could do it B-I-G
'Til you and God align like a DMV (uh)
You rappers are neon green
Yukon Denalis, wanna be G MC's
But overdose on Christ see you G OD
G-O-D, that's what you see on me, now turn up
They know when we pull up
Where they workin' them traps like a pull up
So we bringin' 'em trap and a full cup
The full cup of water that's livin'
They don't know what to do with us
Degree in theology, raps for a livin'
Black man in first class that is readin' the scriptures
I put my tray table up
Smile, why they lookin' sideways?
[Chorus: Perfekt]
Sideways, came in this thing sideways
Get turnt, get lit sideways
Haters looking at me sideways
Sideways, sideways
I ain't slept in like 9 days
Heard they be talkin' sideways
Leanin' in this thing sideways, sideways
Sideways, came in this thing sideways
Get turnt, get lit sideways
Haters lookin' at me sideways
Sideways, sideways
I ain't slept in like 9 days
Heard they be talkin' sideways
COBRA got me rockin' sideways (sideways)
[Verse 3: Lecrae]
Ooh, I promise you, you better come tell 'em, tell 'em
I ain't the one, I never was, I never will be
Somebody better come get 'em (get 'em)
I wonder what got in they head
Wonder what got in they mind
They got me mixed up, messed up
Click, hold on it's somebody on the line
Hello, uh, I ain't tryin' to build CHH
I'm in my own lane, but they like, "He ain't safe"
They rappin' in a bubble, can't nobody see they face
I ain't worried 'bout a genre, the street ain't safe
I know some people out there probably envy my space
But envy is empty, come see my face
Full of scars, full of pain
I don't see much grace
Street Fighter, Ryu, catchin' heat all day, I'm good
And lately I've been hangin' in the hood
Everybody lookin' like, what?
You for the people, you pushin' back evil
Not just in the steeple, you out in the woods
Where the lions and the wolves at
Still waters run deep, but my crew run deeper
We already died, we ain't scared of the reaper
We are too alive, won't fear what you're speakin'
Seeing sideways, eyesight crooked
You ain't never seen us cause you ain't lookin'
And if I say Jesus, everybody start bookin'
Get out the kitchen when I'm cookin'
Pot sideways, whippin' that, whippin' that bass
That's what they wanna hear us say
Until we all get caught sellin' twenty dollar rocks
And we're just another slave of the state
Seein' sideways!
[Chorus: Perfekt]
Sideways, came in this thing sideways
Get turnt, get lit sideways
Haters looking at me sideways
Sideways, sideways
I ain't slept in like 9 days
Heard they be talkin' sideways
Leanin' in this thing sideways, sideways
Sideways, came in this thing sideways
Get turnt, get lit sideways
Haters lookin' at me sideways
Sideways, sideways
I ain't slept in like 9 days
Heard they be talkin' sideways
COBRA got me rockin' sideways

Sideways meaning way came in this world a sinner and “OD” means an overdose on drugs, so KB is saying that the gangsters he is referring to in the previous line should be overdosing on Christ and nothing but Christ.

No because it’s not humanly possible. However KB has lost sleep and been up long nights because he’s been working on his music, traveling, etc.
