Oh My Dis Side (feat. Quavo)

Travis Scott's song 'Oh My Dis Side (feat. Quavo)' is a vivid portrayal of the artist's experiences and struggles growing up in a challenging environment. The repetitive use of 'oh my' throughout the song emphasizes a sense of astonishment and disbelief at the life he has led and the circumstances he has faced. The lyrics paint a picture of a life filled with highs and lows, from drug use and legal troubles to financial success and familial responsibilities. The mention of 'popping pills' and 'pouring syrup' highlights the coping mechanisms used to deal with the harsh realities of his environment, while the reference to 'shooters dressed in camo' and 'in and out the courthouse' underscores the constant presence of danger and legal issues.

The song also delves into the duality of life on 'dis side,' a term that represents the artist's neighborhood and the lifestyle associated with it. Travis Scott reflects on the lessons learned and the experiences that shaped him, from making and losing money to personal relationships and street life. The lyrics 'I made a lot of money on dis side, lost a lot of money on dis side' encapsulate the volatile nature of his journey. The nostalgia for the past is evident as he reminisces about late-night activities and the camaraderie shared with friends, despite the risks involved. The repeated phrase 'dis side' serves as a reminder of where he came from and the impact it has had on his identity.

Quavo's verse adds another layer to the narrative, highlighting the transition from the struggles of the 'north side' to achieving success and wealth. The contrast between 'flipping up bricks' and 'riding 'round in a Bentley' illustrates the dramatic change in circumstances. The emphasis on loyalty and keeping it 'one hundred' on 'dis side' speaks to the importance of staying true to one's roots and the people who were part of the journey. The song ultimately captures the complexity of navigating a life filled with both triumphs and tribulations, and the enduring connection to the place that shaped it all.
