The OtherSide Lyrics
[Verse 1: Black Thought]
Yo, we obviously need to tone it down a bit
Run around town spendin' time like it's counterfeit
Everybody catching hate fever like sinuses
Step in my arena lemme show y'all who the highness is
You might say i could be doing something positive
Humble head down low and broke like promises
Soakin' and broken in a joke like comics is
Not enough paper to be payin' folks compliments
But when that paper got low so did my tolerance
And it ain't no truth in a dare without the consequence
Listen if not for these hood inventions
I'd be just another kid from the block with no intentions
On the dock at that bay servin' a life sentence
Even if i'm going to hell, I'm goin' to make an entrance
Yeah, let 'em know I'm gettin' cheese like omelettes is
But I'm the toast of the town like Thomas' is
[Chorus: Bilal]
We're all on a journey
Down the hall of memories
Don't worry about what you ain't got
Leave with a little bit of dignity
Never loved what I had
Always felt like I deserve more
But when I make it to the otherside (make it to the otherside)
That's when we'll settle up the score
[Verse 2: Black Thought]
Yo, we did this in remembrance of
Faces from the past we no longer have a image of
Carryin' cold-blooded hearts that never been for love
Brothers keep going for theirs but never get enough
World travelers that seen it all and done enough
Only to return and learn the world wasn't big enough
Damn how long has it been? I guess the jig is up
now all I know is I'm about to wake this nigga up
Yeah that hindsight 20-20
Now niggas dead on the money try to take somethin' from me
It's a wrap like a mummy undun I am becoming
And when he's tired of runnin' through the layers of the onion
He'll probably shed a tear 'cause they'll be no more fast times
Just his weak mind scrawled out like a bad sign
He never had enough and got confused when they ask why
Life is only a moment in time and it passed by
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: Greg Porn]
I'm sitting on top of the world ready to jump off
Thinkin' of various ways to break a gun law
Thinkin' that enough is enough but still I want more
Thinkin' how I'm playin' with fire that burn my young boy
Any means necessary don't give a damn
So every night I'm on a flight that never lands
Be an asshole when his shit hits the fan
Or bet your life on a bluff and a bad hand
Can't win can't lose get him gassed
Leave him leakin' fuel either way the market moves
Cash rules, kings, queens, prince and princess
Every night I'm crossin' a line that ain't the finish
Every though as dark as a glass of fuckin' Guinness
Too far gone to come back to my senses
Now I'm on the edge of my bed makin' love to my meds
Every move is like a pistol to my head when I'm gettin' mine
[Chorus]
Yo, we obviously need to tone it down a bit
Run around town spendin' time like it's counterfeit
Everybody catching hate fever like sinuses
Step in my arena lemme show y'all who the highness is
Humble head down low and broke like promises
Soakin' and broken in a joke like comics is
Not enough paper to be payin' folks compliments
And it ain't no truth in a dare without the consequence
Listen if not for these hood inventions

Even if i'm going to hell, I'm goin' to make an entrance
Yeah, let 'em know I'm gettin' cheese like omelettes is
But I'm the toast of the town like Thomas' is
