The OtherSide |
| Yo, we obviously need to tone it down a bit |
| Running round town spending time like it’s counterfeit |
| Everybody catching hay fever like sinuses |
| Step in my arena let me show y’all who the highness is |
| You might say I could be doing something positive |
| Humbled head down low and broke like promises |
| Soaking and broken in a joke like comics is |
| Not enough paper to be paying folks compliments |
| But when that paper got low so did my tolerance |
| And it ain’t no truth in a dare without the consequence |
| Listen if it not for these hood inventions |
| Id just be another kid from the block with no intentions |
| On the dock of that bay serving a life sentence |
| Even if I’m going to hell I’m gonna make an entrance |
| Yeah let em know I’m getting cheese like omelets is |
| But I’m the toast of the town like Thomas is |
| We’re all on a journey |
| Down the hall of memories |
| Don’t worry bout what you ain’t got |
| Leave with a little bit of dignity |
| Never loved what I had |
| Always felt like I deserved more |
| But when I |
| Make it to the other side |
| Make it to the other side |
| That’s when we’ll settle up the score |
| Yo, we did this in remembrance of |
| Faces from the past |
| We no longer have an image of |
| Carrying cold blood hearts |
| That never been for love |
| Brothers keep going for theirs but never get enough |
| World travelers that seen it all |
| And did enough |
| Only to return to learn |
| The world wasn’t big enough |
| Damn, how long has it been? |
| I guess the jig is up |
| Now all I know is I’m about to wake this n*gga up |
| Yeah that hindsight 20/20 now n*ggas dead on the money |
| Trying to take something from me |
| It’s a wrap like mummy |
| Undone I am becoming and… |
| When he’s tired of running |
| Through the layers of the onion |
| He’ll probably shed a tear |
| Cause they’ll be no more fast times |
| Just his weak mind scrolled out like a bad sign |
| He never had enough and got confused when they asked why |
| Life is only a moment in time and it passed by |
| We’re all on a journey |
| Down the hall of memories |
| Don’t worry bout what you ain’t got |
| Leave with a little bit of dignity |
| Never loved what I had |
| Always felt like I deserved more |
| But when I |
| Make it to the other side |
| Make it to the other side |
| That’s when we’ll settle up the score |
| I’m sitting on top of the world ready to jump off |
| Thinking of various ways to break law |
| Thinking that enough is enough but still I want more |
| Thinking of how I’m playing with fire that burned my young boy |
| By any means necessary… don’t give a damn |
| So every night I’m on a flight that never lands |
| Be an asshole when the shit hits the fan |
| Or bet your life on a bluff and a bad hand |
| Can’t win, can’t lose |
| Get ‘em gassed leave em leaking fuel |
| Either way the market moves |
| Cash rules kings, queens, prince and princess |
| Every night I’m crossing a line that ain’t the finish |
| Every thought is dark as a glass of f*cking Guinness |
| Too far gone to come back to my senses |
| Now I’m on the edge of my bed making love to my meds |
| Every moments like a pistol to my head |
| When I’m getting mine |
| We’re all on a journey |
| Down the hall of memories |
| Don’t worry bout what you ain’t got |
| Leave with a little bit of dignity |
| Never loved what I had |
| Always felt like I deserved more |
| But when I |
| Make it to the other side |
| Make it to the other side |
| That’s when we’ll settle up the score |
