THE ROOTS lyrics : "The OtherSide"

Baby come back



Yo, we obviously need to tone it down a bit
Running round town spending time like itâ??s counterfeit
Everybody catching hay fever like sinuses

Step in my arena let me show yâ??all who the highness is
You might say I could be doing something positive
Humbled head down low and broke like promises

Soaking and broken in a joke like comics is
Not enough paper to be paying folks compliments
But when that paper got low so did my tolerance

And it ainâ??t no truth in a dare without the consequence
Listen if it not for these hood inventions
Id just be another kid from the block with no intentions

On the dock of that bay serving a life sentence
Even if Iâ??m going to hell Iâ??m gonna make an entrance
Yeah let em know Iâ??m getting cheese like omelets is

But Iâ??m the toast of the town like Thomas is



Weâ??re all on a journey
Down the hall of memories
Donâ??t worry bout what you ainâ??t got

Leave with a little bit of dignity
Never loved what I had
Always felt like I deserved more

But when I
Make it to the other side
Make it to the other side

Thatâ??s when weâ??ll settle up the score



Yo, we did this in remembrance of
Faces from the past
We no longer have an image of

Carrying cold blood hearts
That never been for love
Brothers keep going for theirs but never get enough

World travelers that seen it all
And did enough
Only to return to learn

The world wasnâ??t big enough
Damn, how long has it been?
I guess the jig is up

Now all I know is Iâ??m about to wake this n*gga up
Yeah that hindsight 20/20 now n*ggas dead on the money
Trying to take something from me

Itâ??s a wrap like mummy
Undone I am becoming andâ?¦
When heâ??s tired of running

Through the layers of the onion
Heâ??ll probably shed a tear
Cause theyâ??ll be no more fast times

Just his weak mind scrolled out like a bad sign
He never had enough and got confused when they asked why
Life is only a moment in time and it passed by



Weâ??re all on a journey

Down the hall of memories
Donâ??t worry bout what you ainâ??t got
Leave with a little bit of dignity

Never loved what I had
Always felt like I deserved more
But when I

Make it to the other side
Make it to the other side
Thatâ??s when weâ??ll settle up the score



Iâ??m sitting on top of the world ready to jump off

Thinking of various ways to break law
Thinking that enough is enough but still I want more
Thinking of how Iâ??m playing with fire that burned my young boy

By any means necessaryâ?¦ donâ??t give a damn
So every night Iâ??m on a flight that never lands
Be an $$#hole when the %#@! hits the fan
Or bet your life on a bluff and a bad hand
Canâ??t win, canâ??t lose

Get â??em gassed leave em leaking fuel
Either way the market moves
Cash rules kings, queens, prince and princess
Every night Iâ??m crossing a line that ainâ??t the finish
Every thought is dark as a glass of f*cking Guinness

Too far gone to come back to my senses
Now Iâ??m on the edge of my bed making love to my meds
Every moments like a pistol to my head
When Iâ??m getting mine



Weâ??re all on a journey
Down the hall of memories
Donâ??t worry bout what you ainâ??t got
Leave with a little bit of dignity

Never loved what I had
Always felt like I deserved more
But when I
Make it to the other side
Make it to the other side
Thatâ??s when weâ??ll settle up the score
