The Other Side

Lyrics

[Chorus:] Now I see that everything ain't what it seems (what it seems) Been to the other side and the grass wasn't green (green) Life is but a dream (dream) Yeah, I want the money but I need some other things too (I need some other things) Just be conscious of the energy it brings you (brings you) You be humble, nigga, that's just what a king do (that's what a king do) Don't ride no wave cuh, when they drown, you gon' sink too (you gon' drown) And, when you get a lot of love, they gon' hate you (that's facts) [Verse 1]: Had to cut some people off the team They claim they 'ride or die' but everything ain't what it seems I been on the grind 'cause I been destined for the dream They see I'm on the way and they been tryna intervene But I won't let 'em, they wanna see me stuck in a dead end And put me in a box like them niggas workin' for FedEx Sometimes, I wake up and I don't know where my head is 1 in the afternoon and I still ain't get outta bed yet Thinkin' about the shit that I shouldn't be dwellin' on I'm just tryna get a spark like Tom Edis' on I keep facing obstacles but I keep pressing on Tryna get it poppin' like microwavin' the kettle corn Who said it's wrong to live your life for you When you the only one that knows what's right for you? This opportunity, it won't come twice for you In a society, it's hard to live your righteous truth [Chorus:] Now I see that everything ain't what it seems (what it seems) Been to the other side and the grass wasn't green (green) Life is but a dream (dream) Yeah, I want the money but I need some other things too (I need some other things) Just be conscious of the energy it brings you (brings you) You be humble, nigga, that's just what a king do (that's what a king do) Don't ride no wave cuh, when they drown, you gon' sink too (you gon' drown) And, when you get a lot of love, they gon' hate you (that's facts) [Verse 2:] Nowadays, everybody rushin' for gold I'm just tryna get rich and stay in touch with my soul Tell me why they wanna see a nigga stuck in a hole Got respect for all my queens but never trus'in' no hoe I'm jus' keepin' it real Ain't no cap, I'm releasin' the cell Jump on the track with a reason to kill From the P's to the hills They fuck with me 'cause they believe in the skills I'm seasoned for real, there's something for the people to feel Don't care who you go and get Ain't nobody cold as this Doin' diabetic flows and I ain't sugar-coatin' shit I got a vision as clear as a focused lens OG gave me the game and I soaked it in He said, "If you can't be used, my nigga, you useless Some people wan' use you, just don't let 'em abuse it Sometime, the wise man gotta play like he foolish Never let your left hand know what the right move is [Chorus:] Now I see that everything ain't what it seems (what it seems) Been to the other side and the grass wasn't green (green) Life is but a dream (dream) Yeah, I want the money but I need some other things too (I need some other things) Just be conscious of the energy it brings you (brings you) You be humble, nigga, that's just what a king do (that's what a king do) Don't ride no wave cuh, when they drown, you gon' sink too (you gon' drown) And, when you get a lot of love, they gon' hate you (that's facts)
