Nas - The Other Side (The Duet) lyrics

Mylene: In my room staying up late And I'm planning my escape Cause I know I can´t stay In my veins I got the feeling There must be something more Never been so sure All night and day I dream of a place Somewhere far, far away Beyond the crowds and city lights Out of the darkness we can shine I'm packing my bags I'm gonna leave this all behind I wanna open up my eyes And see you on the other side Ezekiel: Life is a test It will break you or drive you to the ground In the game of survival Take a look around in my town All the kings, the crowns The tools will provide you Find yourself in a strange place Where it's too late to about face When you're going through emotions When you're going through it With the ones you were close with We was street brothers Riding the trains And the subway tunnels are the veins and the body of the city Underground I remain Me and my brothers, we reign Who woulda knew our cold fate? Who woulda knew my soulmate would have wings to fly leaving me with heartache? And now she's the queen of the party And I knew one day I'd see her In the flesh or next life I'll meet her Till then, my sweetheart, I swear Nothing shall make me stop What happens when you was just laughing? What happens when a struggling artist turns to a rich has-been? What did I miss? My brothers used to cut and mix, Shaolin It's funny The money, the glamour, the glitz In the horizon, envious guys watchin' Suddenly my brothers and me are divided Where am I headed to? It's about to be the '80s The master of ceremony Will miss his golden lady Hope she don't betray me We both started off with a wish Suddenly it turned into this Yeah, stardom is seductive Temporarily broken-hearted But regardless I am stuck with hope That I will see you in the future I know that we will be on top So, here we go No matter if I live or die Promise I'ma meet you on the other side Here it goes Clear my throat and cue the violins Making moves Shouting from the rooftops I'm turning to you, yeah (2x) Somewhere far far away beyond the crowds and city lights out of the darkness we can shine So I'm packing my bags I'm gonna leave this all behind I wanna open up my eyes And see you on the other side I promise I meet you on the other side See you on the other side
