[Intro]
(Ayo, Keyz, turn this up for the one time)
(Pipe that shit up, TnT)
(DeepHartt beats)

[Verse 1]
Lost so much and gained so much
I'm tryna balance out my life and shit
Can't put on for the media
I'm going through a life [?]
I got my guard up, yeah yeah
I'm working harder, [?]
Perky after Perky, tryna find out how it used to be
It's working, then ain't working
In the end it's just abusing
And this pressure keep weighing me down
Gotta keep it at close range
Ain't no laying me down
Yeah I ride with it

[Verse 2]
I be 'round most of my peers but still I feel alone
I done shed so many tears
That's why my feelings gone
Remember I ain't had shit
I keep them racks on mе
I done seen my whole city turn they back on mе
They try to do a n***a sly but it ain't work at all
My mama cried so many times so she deserve it all
I had my back against the wall they tried to tie me in
Beat all the odds, I finally made it out the lion's den
I made a vow to myself, that I won't cry again
And if you fall lil dawg, get up and try again
N***as sold a lot of dreams, that I won't buy again
You told me that you weren't gon' lie
And then you lied again
[Chorus]
Cause sometimes
The grass ain't greener on the other side
The other side (Oh, oh, oh)
You know that you can be what you wanna be
Don't let 'em tell you different
Don't let 'em tell you different

[Verse 3]
I'm just tryna make a way
For all my sisters and my brothers
Tryna stay up out the way
But I just end up in some drama
I done did so much shit
Feel like I still deal with my karma
And I refuse to be a victim
I won't let 'em put me under
My anxiety still beating on me
Conscious still fucking wit' me
Seen a lot of people change
It's hard to know who fuckin' wit' me
And I always show love
But I, knew that it was hate
Had to learn to take time
And stay true to being patient
I feel sorrow
Dark liquor just to drown out my sorrow
Had to get it on my own
I couldn't borrow
I need it now, and I mean now
Cause we ain't promised for tomorrow
[Chorus]
Cause sometimes
The grass ain't greener on the other side
The other side (Oh, oh, oh)
You know that you can be what you wanna be
Don't let 'em tell you different
Don't let 'em tell you different
