YAOUNDÉBOXINGCLUB - Southside

〈verse 1〉:
People be talking but i’m doing just fine
I know my worth, yeah man i fought for what’s mine
Not in a rush no, i’m just taking my time
Enjoying the ride, wanna do it right
Cause it’s a new day
I’m in a good space
I put in work, no complaints
How could i fail?
Light is all i see
It’s all meant to be
So if you’re looking for me

〈chorus〉:
I'll be on the southside
Soaking up the sunshine
Drinking all my pain and fears away
Imma let my hair down
Don't wanna say goodbye
I'm tired of waiting for better days
'cause i wanna live better
Can't do this forever
Think i'm gonna go and get lost somewhere
Said i wanna live better
Can't do this forever
Think i'm gonna go and just disappear

〈verse 2〉:
Yeah, i'll be on the southside
Sipping on some white wine
Underneath the blue sky
Blasting music so loud
Everlasting car rides
With all the windows rolled down
Sun is shining so bright
Life never felt so right
'cause man it's been a bad year
We shed so many tears
Thinking the end was near
Stuck in the atmosphere
Now everything's so unclear
But i don't know no more fear
The story doesn't end here
No it don't

〈chorus〉:
I'll be on the southside
Soaking up the sunshine
Drinking all my pain and fears away
Imma let my hair down
Don't wanna say goodbye
I'm tired of waiting for better days
'cause i wanna live better
Can't do this forever
Think i'm gonna go and get lost somewhere
Said i wanna live better
Can't do this forever
Think i'm gonna go and just disappear

〈bridge〉:
See, i don't know what the future holds
But i know who i am
And, there'll be highs and there'll be lows
But i'll always count my blessings

〈chorus〉:
I'll be on the southside
Soaking up the sunshine
Drinking all my pain and fears away
Imma let my hair down
Don't wanna say goodbye
I'm tired of waiting for better days
'cause i wanna live better
Can't do this forever
Think i'm gonna go and get lost somewhere
Said i wanna live better
Can't do this forever
Think i'm gonna go and just disappear

22 year-old French singer, songwriter, producer and mix engineer YAOUNDÉBOXINGCLUB has been quietly working on new music in the past year whilst producing and engineering for other artists. When she previously performed as MJ Bodson, she was known for her minimalist approach to songwriting and producing. After much thought and a rebrand, she’s approaching music differently — infusing alternative pop with sprinkles of popular African music such as soukous and makossa, as well as alternative R&B and Garage to create her own unique sound.
