Slaine
Either Side
[Verse 1: Rite Hook]
I think I need to tell 'em
What I needed to see at seven
What you see in Heaven
Angels and demons speaking to me in bed
I guess you’d be considered special to get a visit from dead people while my friend is sleepin’ whisperin’
(You should I beat his head in)
So do I beat him or is this a figment I'm imagining
Close my eyes an open them back up they all vanishing
Turnin’ to smoke
Burnin’ holes into reality's fabric
And I begin to lay back and fall deep in the labyrinth
I been called upon to fulfill what the gods want
To cleanse this land you must kill
Sittin up on my bed singin’ it like I hail from hell
Push it out of me backwards
[?]
Little kid doesn't know what’s comin’, voices mumblin’ up in his noggin
And he ain't got nothing in common with his family in his apartment
So he picks up a pen and begins jotting ironic enough it becomes every solution to his problems

[Chorus: Rite Hook]
You see
Everyone wants to be called on (By God)
What about the other side of (Your God)
What happens when you don’t belong on
Either side and they fight you see
Everyone wants to be called on (By God)
What about the other side of (Your God)
What happens when you don’t belong on
Either side and they fight for you

[Verse 2: Slaine]
I think I need to tell 'em about the terror swellin' in my cerebellum
Through the error that I fell in with the felons
Through the heaven and the hell
And when the petticoat was selling
It would lift them off the ground and propel em
I’m repelling against
Any odd you can tell I'm intense
Many rise, many fall and it never made sense
If any god was involved my resolve was a dog with
Locked jaw locked on a broad by her ba
And every lyric that I wrote is like a holy war
I’m like a spirit of a ghost it's what you know me for
And you can hear it when you're close it's like a bowling ball
Rollin’ on a hot tin roof the way I’m trolling y’all
But I keep digging myself in a deeper hole
By juggling pumping drugs and I struggled to keep control
Schemin’ with this demon and I allow it to lurk
But the fact that I'm still alive is a higher power at work

[Chorus: Rite Hook]
You see
Everyone wants to be called on (By God)
What about the other side of (Your God)
What happens when you don’t belong on
Either side and they fight you see
Everyone wants to be called on (By God)
What about the other side of (Your God)
What happens when you don’t belong on
Either side and they fight for you

[Verse 3: Rite Hook]
So I search for the meanin’ of it
Every evening I seem to plummet
Deeper into the underworld
But the puzzle pieces I keep discoverin’
Put me in a deeper struggle
Of which I don't really need
Or is it both of these deities in me coming
Summoned by the words that I write
And only I get the worst of the fight
And I deserve this curse but tonight
We make the decision, this ain’t religion
Take the dagger…
Make an incision and it reads
We the lost souls, under the earth’s sun
Looking at the sky and the dirt
Which was birthed from the bapho king
Sings another crooked lullabies
Of the book of a troubled mind
Shook enough to cry
As the time stretches
My only guess is
I’m meant to be in
Treacherous territory
As I yet to tell the story of it
Pleasure only comes with pain just so we’re being clear
The polarity of what the mind of a human being feels

[Chorus: Rite Hook]
You see
Everyone wants to be called on (By God)
What about the other side of (Your God)
What happens when you don’t belong on
Either side and they fight you see
Everyone wants to be called on (By God)
What about the other side of (Your God)
What happens when you don’t belong on
Either side and they fight for you
