From the Other Side - Z-Ro

Look

If you don’t listen then how can you learn?

My bad I was just trying to show you how to really earn

Always speaking when it ain’t your turn

So when you really need some help nobody ain’t concerned

If you already know the answer why you ask me?

Cause when I tell you the truth you gon' wanna blast me

Forgive me for keeping it real

And even though you don’t like it that’s how I’m keeping it still

Success is the enemy of laziness

No more deposits, a line of credit what they pay me with

I don’t mind coaching but ain’t gonna babysit

Money round the corner you standing still that’s some crazy shit

I sure hate it but I’ma wish you the best

You ain’t got to act like that, just remember you’re blessed

Always talking at, instead of talking to

Then they wonder why I’m by myself when I be walking through

Here’s an invitation from the other side

We’re just trying to live a better life

I see the suffering in your eyes

I don’t know about you but I gotta survive

Just because you always with me don’t mean you with me though

You only need five but you trying to get me for fifty though

I’m like «Damn my nigga what you need fifty for?»

If I say no, you’ll be at my crib, trying to kick the door

Take notes, take a look at what I’m doing here

Yeah you see me pushing this foreign, but I see you in here

Look at all these empty rooms I see you moving here

I’m just trying to tell you something good I’m hoping you can hear

Slow it down my nigga, you always rushing

When you shaking my hand you don’t realize what you’re touching

You got a bad bitch but you only concerned with fucking

You gon' always need a key to start, you’ll never push a button

Turning nothing into something is the only option

I’m off the showroom floor I don’t go to auctions

Maybe some of what I’m doing you can do it too

I’m the plug, I’m the middle man, I’m who you do it through

Here’s an invitation from the other side

We’re just trying to live a better life

I see the suffering in your eyes

I don’t know about you but I gotta survive

Z-Ro you need to get your shit together bro

I know it’s fucked up but it’s gon' be like that forever though

She ain’t gon' do right by you, you just need to let her go

He won’t read the signs even though you made all the letters glow

My nigga I ain’t trying to get you mad

But bitch you know what it is, hustle, get a bigger bag

Don’t nobody give a fuck about you

Let them tough it out and you gon' have to tough it out too

Why should they get what they want from me if I can’t get mine

It been like that all my life bet it ain’t gon' happen this time

Look I know you tired of being a blessing

Doing good and never getting good, thats whats got you stressing

And if you ask me, I am just another nigga man

But just the other day JJ Watt tweeted a nigga name

'Ro you need to learn how to love yourself

Leave them pills alone, realize you a drug yourself

Here’s an invitation from the other side

We’re just trying to live a better life

I see the suffering in your eyes

I don’t know about you but I gotta survive
