《The Other Side((Explicit))》歌词

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

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

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

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

[00:00:27] Supreme peace

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:41] Hoping the judge might

[00:00:43] Show compassion

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:51] Who laws' enforced

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:26] Frequently on the phone

[00:01:27] His girlfriend was beautiful

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:02] My appetite was destructive

[00:02:03] I swallowed my pride

[00:02:04] When the connect suggested

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:21] Lyrics realer than mine

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

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

[00:02:24] My conscience and greed

[00:02:25] Were prepared to collide

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

[00:02:28] He will provide

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

[00:02:31] Than give me consignment

[00:02:32] The choice is mine

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:41] When my daughter arrived
