Simeon Asafo-adjei - The Other Side lyrics

[Verse 1: Simeon] The Automatics rip through your jacket Bringing news that's tragic Trynna stay sane, in the midst of madness Better peep it with ya' third eye Or this gon' be ya' last ride Lay back, and you could watch your soul rise Peep the signs be wise, Otherwise another homicide Walking the streets I'm seeing fewer guys 'Cause the streets, they be cold; 38's in pea coats, 45's, 22's and Desert Eagles n***as living like Mad Max Fighting for mad scraps, thinking it's fat stacks Let's flash back Where little kids could play We weren't stressing 'bout pay And we could hang out on the block all day Those be the beast times We greet with peace signs Love's on the decline Let's hit the rewind I'm sick of street crimes I miss the street signs 'Cause they filled with dope dealing n***as that made a k**ing By f**ing up the way we all living But yo [Hook: Simeon 3x] I'm just a n***a from the other side Ayo, I'm just another n***a from the other side [Verse 2: Simeon] Let me tell you about the other side, let me tell you From where the gra** is greener Streets a bit more cleaner And these good kids, got cruel demeanors So they just might murder ya From sub suburbia Grew up yacht club, or grew up burglars Some came from wealth, others begging for help This is home if I can say so myself But I'ma report now Potomac's by Georgetown That's Ying and Yang, either way it goes down Far and close from Pleasantville Last year dozens k**ed Dreams of D.C. becoming real So play your part, be smart Better follow your heart Otherwise get a tent behind the K-Mart And I tell you no lies Woodbridge on the Rise And now you n***as know about the other side [Hook 4x ]
