The Other Side Lyrics - Singles - Lil' Rob

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 

'cause 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
