Other Side
[Verse 1: Hi-Rez]
I've been lookin' forward to my life changin'
Circle is gettin' smaller, I don't like strangers
Doctors had me on meds as a teenager
Homies morphin' on me like the Green Ranger
I was runnin' from somethin'
Youngin, I was comin' from nothin'
In the last year alone, I got a hundred new cousins
I've been hanging with the vultures
And swimmin' with the sharks
Just to get to the light, I had to go through the dark, yeah
I took my vices and I turned 'em into strengths
Took my talent and I channeled all my angst
Took for granted all the beauty and the pain
So that's why I take the hatred and return it with a thanks
There ain't shit that you can say to me
I've been livin' crazily
I ain't slowin' down, if you listenin', then pray for me
Wouldn't change a thing, not the struggles or the pain
'Cause everything I went through, that's what made me me
[Chorus]
I, I don't wanna think anything when living this life, ooh
And I, I poison myself to see what it's like
On the other side
[Verse 2: Hi-Rez]
Everybody go through pain, you gotta keep fightin'
Wrestling the pen every time that I'm writin'
Every dollar in my pocket was earned by being righteous
If you never been through a struggle, then we have no alikeness
I don't ever hide shit, tell it how it is, miss
Lost family and friends to this shady-ass business
Everything I'm drinking on the rocks, I don't mix shit
Momma told me, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
Used to care what people think, I'm just livin' my life
Excuse me, I get loose when I'm sippin' this wine
It's always been somethin' that made me feel different inside
I used to run from it, now I'm just embracin' the ride
Started losin' my family, started losin' my grip
Now I'm makin' more than my teachers told me to quit
Used to rock a couple shirts with some dirty-ass kicks
Now I don't even pack bags when I'm goin' on trips
[Chorus]
I, I don't wanna think anything when living this life, ooh
And I, I poison myself to see what it's like
On the other side
[Interlude]
By establishing your foundation
Building that fuckin' house before you get there
Yeah, I mean—, I know a lot of these clowns who raced right to the top
And they there, and they killin' it
Got millions of dollars, millions of this, millions of that
Whatever the fuck it is, stats
But at the end of the day, man, when that wave is out
No one gives a fuck
You-you might have money financially to continue your life
But you're not gon—, you're not gon' without—
You're not gon' die a fuckin' legend
[Chorus]
I don't wanna think anything when living this life, ooh
And I, I poison myself to see what it's like
On the other side
