The Other Side (feat. Kng Ego)

No one told me grass was greener on the other side

Nobody told me it was okay for a man to cry

Nobody told me it ain't good to bear shit inside

So I grind, push all my feelings aside

Cuz I just don't got the time (I swear)

Ten toes down, back against the wall

But still gon' hold shit down

Try me if you want, it's gon' be one last round

For my people I'll wipe 'em out

But the only thing I'm tryna figure out

Is the grass really greener?

So many folks out here depend on me (facts)

I could damn near fill a swimmin' pool

With all these fallin' tears on me (I could)

Done gave it all I had to give homie (yup)

Shine light bright on so many

It's a shame that they done switched on me (look at 'em)

Call that give and take (nah), I call that real and fake (yah)

Ain't gon' take food off our dinner plate, best get away (be gone)

So many long nights (nights), I sit and song write (write)

Stressin' thinkin' "Is this ever gon' be alright?" (uh huh)

What didn't kill me made me stronger than I've ever been (yeah)

Stay away from snakes, watch 'em they gon' shed their skin (watch 'em)

Knockin' at my door, I'll never let that devil in (never)

If they ain't ridin' for you, go and get some better friends

No one told me grass was greener on the other side

Nobody told me it was okay for a man to cry

Nobody told me it ain't good to bear shit inside

So I grind, push all my feelings aside

Cuz I just don't got the time (I swear)

Ten toes down, back against the wall

But still gon' hold shit down

Try me if you want, it's gon' be one last round

For my people I'll wipe 'em out

But the only thing I'm tryna figure out

Is the grass really greener?

Shit I'm all the way with it

I ain't no gettin' outta this

Ten toes stuck, big truck, Mac-10

Them froze up, now Jack let it spin

Real shit gon' penetrate through the pain in the pen

Too many caged in the pen, dealin' with it

Everything dim outside vibrant and dream of a land

Dreamland there is, know them pals be kin

Everything real nice down now lookin' in

But your slice nice too, shit how much for your land

Cuz we been growin' the ganja and that smoke rollin'

You got so greener grass shit I had me a hit

Calm the voices in my head, help me chill for a bit

No one told me grass was greener on the other side

Nobody told me it was okay for a man to cry

Nobody told me it ain't good to bear shit inside

So I grind, push all my feelings aside

Cuz I just don't got the time (I swear)

Ten toes down, back against the wall

But still gon' hold shit down

Try me if you want, it's gon' be one last round

For my people I'll wipe 'em out

But the only thing I'm tryna figure out

Is the grass really greener?

It's the more they love me

The ones that love me is forced to hate me

I'm on the grind for greatness

I can't be takin' breaks

Remember harder times, hard to climb

Tryin' hard to find a job

And refusin' the whip with donor ties

In the paper, chasin' dreams you can't blame

Call me crazy, I kept it faithful and made it major

Broke some hearts, a couple of times just movin' on

I know they love me, regardless I couldn't stay for long

I made mistakes but who ain't

That's just the game that we play

I had to give me a plate, yeah

They gonna lie to your face

Say that they knew you was makin' it

Don't get caught up with fakes, yeah

No one told me grass was greener on the other side

Nobody told me it was okay for a man to cry

Nobody told me it ain't good to bear shit inside

So I grind, push all my feelings aside

Cuz I just don't got the time (I swear)

Ten toes down, back against the wall

But still gon' hold shit down

Try me if you want, it's gon' be one last round

For my people I'll wipe 'em out

But the only thing I'm tryna figure out

Is the grass really greener?
