The Other Side - Cormega[00:00:01]

Life's a confusing search[00:00:21]

From birth till you lay in the cold black earth[00:00:22]

And your soul is reunited with the universe[00:00:24]

Supreme peace[00:00:27]

All a nigga ever knew was hurt[00:00:28]

It's like every colored child[00:00:30]

In the womb is cursed[00:00:31]

To be labeled as a f**king criminal or worse[00:00:32]

And it pains me to see anguish in me[00:00:34]

Explained in a paragraph laid in a beat[00:00:37]

I epitomize a rough life[00:00:40]

Hoping the judge might[00:00:41]

Show compassion[00:00:43]

We were moving crushed white[00:00:44]

My man got caught with a four[00:00:45]

That wouldn't bust right[00:00:47]

Plus marked money you could[00:00:48]

Say he had a rough night[00:00:49]

Who laws' enforced[00:00:51]

When you standing in court remanded[00:00:51]

The D's seized a ki and half of that vanished[00:00:53]

Life is deeper than you'll ever understand it[00:00:56]

Sometimes I wonder how the f**k I ever manage[00:00:58]

This is the other side often glorified[00:01:00]

But never lived I know what it is to fall and rise[00:01:03]

Shorty's life was no joke[00:01:12]

He never met his father and his mama was on dope[00:01:13]

Then she took an overdose and died[00:01:16]

You know how it goes[00:01:17]

Left shorty alone with no home stone broke[00:01:19]

Now he in the game at fifteen years old[00:01:21]

Enduring the winter nights till his feet get cold[00:01:23]

Frequently on the phone[00:01:26]

His girlfriend was beautiful[00:01:27]

With goals so they argue[00:01:28]

Bout his lifestyle as usual[00:01:30]

Time goes on and she eventually left[00:01:31]

Sick of him going to jail and near brushes with death[00:01:33]

She gave him an ultimatum[00:01:36]

But she knew he would choose[00:01:37]

To return to a game with ever-changing rules[00:01:38]

And when she stayed in school[00:01:41]

Now he resting in peace[00:01:42]

And the crack is still selling[00:01:44]

Where he bled in the street[00:01:45]

This is the other side often glorified[00:01:46]

But never lived I know what it is to fall and rise[00:01:48]

My appetite was destructive[00:02:02]

I swallowed my pride[00:02:03]

When the connect suggested[00:02:04]

It's best if I just rhyme[00:02:05]

Ultimately we both knew the choice was mine[00:02:06]

Coulda hit me with that ki[00:02:09]

But he want me to shine[00:02:11]

I could see sincereness in his eyes[00:02:12]

We both was still here and our man just died[00:02:14]

He told me park my V and we went for a ride[00:02:16]

Then he said he's yet to hear[00:02:19]

Lyrics realer than mine[00:02:21]

His words froze my soul[00:02:22]

As if suspended in time[00:02:23]

My conscience and greed[00:02:24]

Were prepared to collide[00:02:25]

He told me if I need currency[00:02:27]

He will provide[00:02:28]

And he would rather give me money[00:02:29]

Than give me consignment[00:02:31]

The choice is mine[00:02:32]

I could use my voice to rhyme[00:02:33]

Or pursue exploits in crime[00:02:34]

While trying to e-void time[00:02:36]

It's deceiving meaning[00:02:37]

It ain't always on your side[00:02:38]

Yet the answer came easy[00:02:39]

When my daughter arrived[00:02:41]
