Life can be short or long
|
And love can be right or wrong
|
Let's take a trip to the other side
|
The other side, the other side
|
The other side
|
|
Everybody talking Lil' Rob this, and Lil' Rob that
|
Well there's a man behind these shades, babydoll you better believe that
|
A man who can make up his own mind
|
When I see something bad I wanna make things all fine
|
But that's all in time
|
and there might be some times where I need some time to get away
|
That's when I spread my wings and I fly away
|
Far away from all this mess, from all this stress
|
Hey out there keeper of the dreams, bring me happiness
|
God bless all those who died in the war of the streets
|
God bless mis suelas, I love you, rest in peace
|
Feel the breeze, see the breeze ruffling through the trees
|
Falling leaves, memories stick with me like felonies
|
I'm deep like my sleep, if I'm sleeping please don't wake me
|
Cuz I'd rather dream my life away and let the angels take me
|
Hey hey have you ever tried, ever tried, ever tried
|
Really reaching out for the other side, other side
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
Hey have you ever tried (have you ever tried)
|
Really reaching out for the other side, other side, other side
|
Hey have you ever tried (for the other side)
|
Really reaching out for the other side
|
|
Hey look the grass is greener on there other side
|
I'll never know until I go, things aren't always what they appear to be
|
You can't imagine how things appear to me
|
Unexplainable, just like a mystery
|
Mind-boggling thoughts of foolishness homeboy that's what this is to me
|
Is anybody listening? Is anybody there?
|
Hello? Hello? Does anybody care?
|
Who am I kinding, it's alright, maybe someday I'll find my way
|
But no matter what I do, someone always got something bad to say
|
It's ok, it could be worse, you never get hurt, but leave if you want
|
Don't get yourself get caught in that spot where you can't leave if you want
|
Have you ever been shot? It doesn't hurt, but the after-pain is excrutiating
|
They all say I was at the point where I was hallucinating
|
Ten things I've never seen, Crazy Life at eighteen
|
Gang violence going on and Lil' Rob was participating
|
That's why I trip on these fools saying I've never paid dues
|
Hey have you ever tried really reaching out for the other side
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
|
The other side's in hand's reach, how come I can't reach
|
Maybe I'm not supposed to be there, Lil' Rob on the beware
|
Never will I be scared, I cross my heart and hope to die
|
Stick a thousand needles in my Goddamn eye
|
Fools like me should multiply
|
Fools like them all should die
|
Take that back that wasn't right, rather see them fight for life
|
Well he's not a fighter so I guess that he's a gonner
|
Watch him cry like a toddler making big puddles like water
|
I'm on the boundaries of good and evil
|
People aren't good to me so, why in the fuck should I be good to people?
|
The other side, where you put your pot aside
|
I'm on the outside looking on the inside
|
The flip side, the opposite side
|
Where you don't have a fit for any little shit side
|
I've got good intentions, please don't let me be misunderstood
|
Hey have you ever tried really reaching out for the other side
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
|
Life can be short or long
|
And love can be right or wrong
|
Life can be short or long
|
And love can be right or wrong
|
|
