Other Side

Life can be short or long

And love can be right or wrong

Let's take a trip to the other side

The other side, the other side

The other side

Everybody talking Lil' Rob this, and Lil' Rob that

Well there's a man behind these shades, babydoll you better believe that

A man who can make up his own mind

When I see something bad I wanna make things all fine

But that's all in time

and there might be some times where I need some time to get away

That's when I spread my wings and I fly away

Far away from all this mess, from all this stress

Hey out there keeper of the dreams, bring me happiness

God bless all those who died in the war of the streets

God bless mis suelas, I love you, rest in peace

Feel the breeze, see the breeze ruffling through the trees

Falling leaves, memories stick with me like felonies

I'm deep like my sleep, if I'm sleeping please don't wake me

Cuz I'd rather dream my life away and let the angels take me

Hey hey have you ever tried, ever tried, ever tried

Really reaching out for the other side, other side

[Chorus x2]

Hey have you ever tried (have you ever tried)

Really reaching out for the other side, other side, other side

Hey have you ever tried (for the other side)

Really reaching out for the other side

Hey look the grass is greener on there other side

I'll never know until I go, things aren't always what they appear to be

You can't imagine how things appear to me

Unexplainable, just like a mystery

Mind-boggling thoughts of foolishness homeboy that's what this is to me

Is anybody listening? Is anybody there?

Hello? Hello? Does anybody care?

Who am I kinding, it's alright, maybe someday I'll find my way

But no matter what I do, someone always got something bad to say

It's ok, it could be worse, you never get hurt, but leave if you want

Don't get yourself get caught in that spot where you can't leave if you want

Have you ever been shot? It doesn't hurt, but the after-pain is excrutiating

They all say I was at the point where I was hallucinating

Ten things I've never seen, Crazy Life at eighteen

Gang violence going on and Lil' Rob was participating

That's why I trip on these fools saying I've never paid dues

Hey have you ever tried really reaching out for the other side

[Chorus x2]

The other side's in hand's reach, how come I can't reach

Maybe I'm not supposed to be there, Lil' Rob on the beware

Never will I be scared, I cross my heart and hope to die

Stick a thousand needles in my Goddamn eye

Fools like me should multiply

Fools like them all should die

Take that back that wasn't right, rather see them fight for life

Well he's not a fighter so I guess that he's a gonner

Watch him cry like a toddler making big puddles like water

I'm on the boundaries of good and evil

People aren't good to me so, why in the fuck should I be good to people?

The other side, where you put your pot aside

I'm on the outside looking on the inside

The flip side, the opposite side

Where you don't have a fit for any little shit side

I've got good intentions, please don't let me be misunderstood

Hey have you ever tried really reaching out for the other side

[Chorus x2]

Life can be short or long

And love can be right or wrong

Life can be short or long

And love can be right or wrong
