Dallas - The Other Side lyrics

[Trae] Can I get a moment of silence for all my n***as in the streets no longer livin Or they headed through them gates to (?) there life in prison forgotton I feel they pain so now I'm ridin for the situation My heart goes out to all the T Jones who live impatient Cause some of us blessed-and some of us ain't Some of us takin sh** for granted never stoppin to think I got four handful of my n***as doin biz Not a thought of comin home what the f** about they kids I know I can't be they Daddy but I feel like I can teach 'em Yeah I know I'm only one but I'll be damn if I don't reach 'em So I'm still here tryna understand why the hell bein poor will get you stoned My n***a Reggie just did eight flat half of his life is gone And I'm glad he made it home but see he back without my brother Ain't a day that fly away that I don't think about my brother He went in when I was thirteen but now I'm twenty four Everyday I sit and hope that they will free him before it's time to go [Chorus: Dallas + Shyna] This can't be life Lord please tell me why Why should I try to stay in and fight And these streets ain't my home And these n***as are so wrong I want so much more before I reach the other side [Trae] I got my mug on cause every minute I get caught up in a thug zone I don't wanna get put up like I'm Pac inside this slug zone I'm tryna be a better man See too many soliders die and get acquainted with the sand I don't hate the world we live in I hate the way it treat us I know we here to serve a purpose but the devil he will cheat us Just like my n***a Robert Davis who was destined for the ground And he pa**ed away a living legend king of underground And I miss him just like alot of y'all missin y'all n***as Hard times come a mile a minute even for guerilla's Everytime the rain fall out the sky somebody leavin Everytime you see the white chalk you know somebody grievin It's as simple as that life ain't always for the best Half of us don't even know if we gon end up put to rest For the night fall and can't nobody see it comin I tip my hat to them n***as livin life and steadily runnin (keep on runnin) [Chorus] - repeat to end
