The OtherSide (feat. Bilal Oliver & Greg Porn) (исполнитель: The Roots)
[Verse 1: Black Thought] Yo, we obviously need to tone it down a bit [bad word] round town spending time like it’s counterfeit Everybody catching hay fever like sinuses Step in my arena let me show y’all who the highness is You might say I could be doing something positive Humbled head down low and broke like promises Soaking and broken in a joke [bad word] is Not enough paper to be paying [bad word] But when that paper got low so did my tolerance And it ain’t no [bad word] in a dare without the consequence Listen if it not for these hood inventions Id just be another kid from the block with no intentions On the dock of that bay serving a life sentence Even if I’m going to [bad word] I’m gonna make an entrance Yeah let em know I’m getting cheese like omletes is But I’m the toast of the town like Thomas is [Hook: Bilal] We’re all on a journey Down the hall of memories Don’t worry bout what you ain’t got Leave with a little bit of dignity Never loved what I had Always felt like I deserved more But when I Make it to the other side Make it to the other side That’s when we’ll settle up the score [Verse 2: Black Thought] Yo , we did this in remembrance of Faces from the past We no longer have an image of Carrying cold blood hearts That never been for love Brothers keep going for theirs but never get enough World travelers that seen it all And did enough Only to return to learn The world wasn’t big enough [bad word] how long has it been? I guess the jig is up Now all I know is I’m about to wake this [bad word] up Yeah that hindsight 20/20 now niggas dead on the money Trying to take something from me It’s a wrap like mummy Undone I am [bad word] and… When he’s tired [bad word] Through the layers of the onion He’ll probably shed a tear Cause they’ll be no more fast times Just his weak mind scrolled out like a bad sign He never had enough and got confused when they asked why Life is only a moment in time and it passed by [bad word] [Verse 3: P.O.R.N.] I’m sitting on top of the world ready to jump off Thinking of various ways to break law Thinking that enough is enough but still I want more Thinking of how I’m playing with fire tht burned my young boy By any means necessary… don’t give a [bad word] So every night I’m on a flight that never lands Be an [bad word] when the [bad word] hits the fan Or bet your life on a bluff and a bad hand Can’t win/can’t lose Get ‘em gassed leave em leaking fuel Either way the market moves [bad word] kings, queens, prince and princess Every night I’m crossing a line that ain’t the finish Every thought is dark as a glass of [bad word] Guinness To far gone [bad word] back to my senses Now I’m on the edge of my bed making love to my meds Every moments like a pistol to my head When I’m getting mine
