Two Sides

Life got me running in circles like it's a track meet

At least, guess I'll make a better athlete

Always trippin' so I'm tired of sittin' in the backseat

Bout to blow (?) like there's a lighter flickin' and a gas leak

Shit is fucked, I wish it'd suck less

Broke people got set up, now they upset

Woke people, we losin' sleep, cause there's unrest

Well we gon' turn suck into success

Yeah you'll see

The sun's gon' rise every day

After that, then the night's gon' fall

It's a balance of the Yin and the Yang

You decide what is right or wrong

When I look at the world right now

It's a very scary sight from afar

When I take a better look up close

Me? I see light in the dark

I see people coming together

I see millions ready to MARCH

I see things gettin' better

Lotta people willing to carry the torch

And though you might feel hopeless

'specially if you watch that news

Just keep in mind, there's a whole other side

That you won't realize til' you change your... view

I see killers in the streets

That'll run up on ya

(They might run up, they might run up, run up!)

Stickin' (?) for your jewels, just to feed they daughters

I see priests in the church, talkin' bout clean hands

But behind closed doors, they the real demons (?)

I see two sides, two sides, two sides

Yeah I see two sides, two sides, two sides

Said I see two sides, two sides, two sides

Yeah I see two sides, two sides, two sides

One thing is for certain, people are hurtin'

But shit, you could find love in the thug if you pull back the curtain

There's people on left, people on right

But we join (?) to the same coin, let's keep that in mind

Cuz how many people are killed in the name of religion?

It's depressing

Religion creatin' division they missin' the vision

It's connection

Dark in the light, low in the high

Good in the bad, death in the life

Day in the night, the wrong in the right

The black in the white

(these might be

"and" instead of "in". Can't really tell.)

If you ask me what I see, (?)

I say we're all connected

If you ain't see (?) what I see

That's cuz it's all perspective

O-yeah, o-yeah, o-yeah, o-yeah, o-yeah

It's all subjective

Unh, o-yeah, o-yeah, o-yeah, o-yeah, o-yeah

We all reflections

Saved (?) by the river

Float down the stream

Stand and deliver

Ultra light beam

Down by the river

Float down the stream

Stand and deliver

Gon' (?) set me free

I see killers in the streets

That'll run up on ya

Stickin (?) for ya jewels

Just to feed they daughters
