The Roots - The OtherSide[00:00:00]
Yo we obviously need to tone it down a bit[00:00:15]
Running round town spending time like it’s counterfeit[00:00:17]
Everybody catching hay fever like sinuses[00:00:20]
Step in my arena let me show y’all who the highness is[00:00:23]
You might say I could be doing something positive[00:00:26]
Humbled head down low and broke like promises[00:00:29]
Soaking and broken in a joke like comics is[00:00:32]
Not enough paper to be paying folks compliments[00:00:35]
But when that paper got low so did my tolerance[00:00:38]
And it ain’t no truth in a dare without the consequence[00:00:40]
Listen if it not for these hood inventions[00:00:44]
Id just be another kid from the block with no intentions[00:00:46]
On the dock of that bay serving a life sentence[00:00:49]
Even if I’m going to hell I’m gonna make an entrance[00:00:52]
Yeah let em know I’m getting cheese like omelets is[00:00:55]
But I’m the toast of the town like Thomas is[00:00:59]
We’re all on a journey[00:01:01]
Down the hall of memories[00:01:04]
Don’t worry bout what you ain’t got[00:01:07]
Leave with a little bit of dignity[00:01:09]
Never loved what I had[00:01:13]
Always felt like I deserved more[00:01:15]
But when I[00:01:18]
Make it to the other side[00:01:19]
Make it to the other side[00:01:20]
That’s when we’ll settle up the score[00:01:21]
Yo we did this in remembrance of[00:01:24]
Faces from the past[00:01:28]
We no longer have an image of[00:01:29]
Carrying cold blood hearts[00:01:30]
That never been for love[00:01:32]
Brothers keep going for theirs but never get enough[00:01:33]
World travelers that seen it all[00:01:36]
And did enough[00:01:38]
Only to return to learn[00:01:39]
The world wasn’t big enough[00:01:40]
Damn how long has it been [00:01:42]
I guess the jig is up[00:01:44]
Now all I know is I’m about to wake this n*gga up[00:01:45]
Yeah that hindsight 20/20 now n*ggas dead on the money[00:01:48]
Trying to take something from me[00:01:52]
It’s a wrap like mummy[00:01:54]
Undone I am becoming and [00:01:55]
When he’s tired of running[00:01:57]
Through the layers of the onion[00:01:58]
He’ll probably shed a tear[00:01:59]
Cause they’ll be no more fast times[00:02:01]
Just his weak mind scrolled out like a bad sign[00:02:03]
He never had enough and got confused when they asked why[00:02:05]
Life is only a moment in time and it passed by[00:02:08]
We’re all on a journey[00:02:11]
Down the hall of memories[00:02:14]
Don’t worry bout what you ain’t got[00:02:16]
Leave with a little bit of dignity[00:02:20]
Never loved what I had[00:02:23]
Always felt like I deserved more[00:02:26]
But when I[00:02:28]
Make it to the other side[00:02:29]
Make it to the other side[00:02:30]
That’s when we’ll settle up the score[00:02:32]
I’m sitting on top of the world ready to jump off[00:02:35]
Thinking of various ways to break law[00:02:38]
Thinking that enough is enough but still I want more[00:02:41]
Thinking of how I’m playing with fire that burned my young boy[00:02:43]
By any means necessary don’t give a damn[00:02:47]
So every night I’m on a flight that never lands[00:02:49]
Be an asshole when the sh*t hits the fan[00:02:52]
Or bet your life on a bluff and a bad hand[00:02:55]
Can’t win can’t lose[00:02:58]
Get ‘em gassed leave em leaking fuel[00:03:00]
Either way the market moves[00:03:02]
Cash rules kings queens prince and princess[00:03:03]
Every night I’m crossing a line that ain’t the finish[00:03:07]
Every thought is dark as a glass of f*cking Guinness[00:03:10]
Too far gone to come back to my senses[00:03:13]
Now I’m on the edge of my bed making love to my meds[00:03:15]
Every moments like a pistol to my head[00:03:18]
When I’m getting mine[00:03:20]
We’re all on a journey[00:03:22]
Down the hall of memories[00:03:24]
Don’t worry bout what you ain’t got[00:03:27]
Leave with a little bit of dignity[00:03:30]
Never loved what I had[00:03:33]
Always felt like I deserved more[00:03:36]
But when I[00:03:39]
Make it to the other side[00:03:39]
Make it to the other side[00:03:41]
That’s when we’ll settle up the score[00:03:42]
