On The Other Side |
| I spy with my little eye |
| A murderer, a murderer |
| So long the ratchet in the streets |
| You never heard of her, streets you never heard of her |
| These are the people who are trying hard to slip over, tryin' hard to slip over |
| We’re sailing always sailing in the sea of years go by |
| I know I know I know I came a long way |
| Oh yeah with from my heart knock all day |
| I kill a killed with a spitter 9 mm on my hip with the debt |
| Then sign me a dealer |
| Had it hard so you been a nigga cry me a river |
| 'Cause I’m from the piss and life’s grind me his liver |
| I mean it’s spitter then brooder then fruit her |
| Then I’m really little |
| Got a brother and a sister and I’m in the middle |
| Mother tryin' to figure out how to we me a dinner |
| Then I had a piece of bread for my little nigga |
| 'Cause he waiting outside |
| Too shy to ask and too young to die |
| Too weak to rob and too good to lie |
| Two years go by, he a killer |
| Pissed up high the pillar then he go to work |
| Monkey see monkey do grow the gorilla |
| So he turn another wife into a widow |
| Which turned another son into a bidder |
| Root of all evil it’s all lethal |
| Injection without interjecting for people |
| Fall back but ain’t no kush around here |
| This is my block call a cock block |
| 'Cause ain’t no pussy round here |
| He’s a hard head and a pot head |
| If he’ll keep it up he’ll be a chop head |
| But he heard his voice in the future instead |
| And he said |
| If even small it seem so high |
| It’s just a wall I made it on the other side |
| And I won’t let you slide |
| Love won’t break I’ll catch you on the other side |
| Metsie metsie for all my blessings in the murk seat |
| 'Cause sometimes it could’ve gotten messy |
| Like if my shot came and left me |
| Still acting willin' dumb and thirsty |
| Still saying come and test me |
| Still selling crack by young ol Wesley |
| And low wage cops can still can arrest me |
| That’s just not sexy |
| I know you feel it who would’ve thought |
| I would go four wheelin' in Morocco |
| With a fine dime I brought from Stockholm |
| Take it from a war child never enlisted |
| Life is twisted like |
| I’m not the only one Lenin said |
| Chapman is here, but Lenin’s dead |
| If even small it seem so high |
| It’s just a wall I made it on the other side |
| And I won’t let you slide |
| Love won’t break I’ll catch you on the other side |
| Don’t let me go astray |
| 'Cause I am afraid |
| I need your strength |
| So I won’t be afraid |
| I spy with my little eye |
| A murderer, a murderer |
| So long the ratchet in the streets |
| You never heard of her, streets you never heard of her |
| These are the people who are trying hard to slip over, tryin' hard to slip over |
| We’re sailing always sailing in the sea of years go by |
| In the sea of years go by |
