Other Side
I've been looking forward to my life changing
Circle is getting smaller
I don't like strangers
Doctors had me on meds as a teenager
Homies morphing on me like the Green Ranger
I was running from something
Young and I was coming from nothing
In the last year alone
I got a hundred new cousins
I've been hanging with the vultures
And swimming with the sharks
Just to get to the light
I had to go through the dark, yeah
I took my 'vices and I turned them into strengths
Took my talent and I channeled all my angst
Took for granted all the beauty and the pain
So that's why I take the hatred and return it with a thanks
There ain't shit that you can say to me
I've been living crazily
I ain't slowing down
If you listen and then pray for me
Wouldn't change a thing
Not the struggles or the pain
Cause everything I went through
That's what made me, me
I don't wanna think anything when living this life
I poison myself to see what it's like
On the other side
Everybody go through pain
You gotta keep fighting
Wrestling a pen every time that I'm writing
Every dollar in my pocket
Was earned by being righteous
If you never been through a struggle
Then we have no a likeness
I don't ever hide shit tell it how it is, ness
Lost family and friends to the shady ass business
Everything I'm drinking on the rocks I don't mix shit
Momma told me if it ain't broke don't fix it
Used to care what people think
I'm just living my life
Excuse me I get loose when I'm sipping this wine
It's always been something that make me feel different inside
I use to run from it now I'm just embracing the ride
Started losing my family
Started losing my grip
Now I'm making more
Than my teachers told me to quit
Use to rock a couple shirts with some dirty ass kicks
Now I don't even pack bags when i'm going on trips
I don't wanna think anything when living this life
I poison myself to see what it's like
On the other side
By establishing your foundation
Building that ****ing house before you get there
I know a lot of these clowns
Who race right to the top
And they are there, they're killing it
Got millions of dollars, millions of this, millions of that
Whatever the **** it is.. stats
But at the end of the day man
When that wave is out
No one gives a ****
You might have money financially
To continue your life
But you're not going- you're not going out
You're not going to die a ****in' legend
I don't wanna think anything when living this life
I poison myself to see what it's like
On the other side
