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 Cuz 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
