OTHERSIDE - Hulvey

Welcome to the other side

I live my life like it’s my only night

Who you gon' run to in your darkest times?

Done runnin' from it, I done made up my mind

I’ve made up my mind

Keep climbing, keep climbing

Keep climbing, keep climbing

I seen the other side of the mountain

Keep climbing, keep climbing

Yeah, Momma called me on the tele'

I knew she been cryin', I moved to Atlanta

But listen, I knew I was ready

There ain’t nothin' that nobody can tell me

Foot on the pedal, my drive like a Chevy

Like an umbilical, stayin' connected

This for the Wick town, I’m spreadin' the message

Yeah, yeah, I ride with my dawgs, just like Dr. Doolittle

Just a youngin', everybody ain’t fool with him

Cut from the team, they ain’t know what to do with him

Playin' kickball, it’s like they bootin' 'em

Had weight, it was over my chest

Real faith, I gotta invest

We in some dark times, it’s a mess

Feelin' like Pippen, keep the game pressed

I cannot change for nobody

I ain’t here to entertain for the lobby

We doin' way more than just rappin' about it

They treatin' my brothers like they’re not somebody

Put on for the people who’ve been locked up in that cage, yeah

I can’t ever switch up on the One that changed my ways, yeah

This time really ain’t a phase, yeah

Where you gon' turn in the rain?

Yeah

Real peace is all of my veins, yeah, enough about me

I know the people just want to be free

I know the One who carry the key

We cannot be who they tell us to be

Never let down, we back on our feet

Welcome to the other side

I live my life like it’s my only night

Who you gon' run to in your darkest times?

Done runnin' from it, I done made up my mind

I’ve made up my mind

Keep climbing, keep climbing

Keep climbing, keep climbing

I seen the other side of the mountain

Keep climbing, keep climbing

Yeah, I heard 'bout Ahmaud, the weight on me

It’s crazy to think in America freedom ain’t promised

They sayin': «Just wait on it»

It’s easy to say as a white man that it’s all okay

Imagine you inside a system that never give love: what you gon' say?

How can we be so blind?

This world crossin' the line

This for my time to speak to the people that think it’s okay to see a black

folk die

What if your son died and they told you, «Momma, don’t cry»?

Please do not fall for the lie, God, I see the other side

God, I want 'em all alive, God, I want 'em all alive

Welcome to the other side

I live my life like it’s my only night

Who you gon' run to in your darkest times?

Done runnin' from it, I done made up my mind

I’ve made up my mind

Keep climbing, keep climbing

Keep climbing, keep climbing

I seen the other side of the mountain

Keep climbing, keep climbing
