Above/Below - Two Sides lyrics

All these miles run and rivers traversed Mountains crossed, dizzying heights, to the depths of oceans submersed We're well versed in the ways of how to give and to take Sometimes the ball don't bounce, but sometimes stuff don't break Like you was falsely accused, but now ain't we amused Cause for every winner, we know somebody gotta lose Now ain't that a clever ruse, bounce like kangaroos The anger brews and simmers as your chances grow slimmer But as the light grows dimmer on the opposite end Dawn is steady breaking, yes there's people on the mend And lets pretend, we could deal in hypotheticals Two sides to every story, what makes life so incredible Set a full series of events in motion, explosion Consequences of mixing up the potion You can close yourself in or you can join us on the ride Cause if you don't like the single you can check the b-side Cause there's always two sides... (scratched - "two sides to every story" - mos def) As situations arise, surprises abound Around every corner more than you can handle are found Some good, some bad, some we'll have to wait and see Some the jurys still out, some they threw away the key Like for every story, there's two sides to consider Every victory means a defeat that's a bitter - Pill to swallow although, you needn't wallow in the muck Or flip a coin and let it ride on lady luck How you felt so confined, but how do we define Freedom if it ain't free, now that's the design Now that you've seen the sign, there's a fork in the road You can divert from the path or you can add to the load I speak in code languages, for those who languish Cause leisure reflects the other side's pain and anguish Ain't it the time to stand up and be counted Its a trapeze act, but we need to try to balance Two sides...
