[Intro: Songvibe]
I paint a smile on my
Face
But my mind’s in a different
Place (J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League)
[Chorus: Songvibe]
They only see the light
But look behind the camera
And then you’ll find an answer
On the other side
Look closer, you will find
A message for the dreamer
The grass ain’t always greener
On the other side
[Verse 1: Royce da 5’9”]
I don’t give a
Fuck about no rapper, anyone will cap ya
Everyone is capable of murder if they have to
Anyone can sell drugs, anyone can do time
You trivial niggas, all you do is confuse crime
Rappers are held in such a high regard; why we fall?
It’s ‘cause we forget the fans are the reason why we’re stars
The fans also are not perfect
Keep in mind not to treat me like a science project and not a person
I lend my respect to the game ‘cause it teach you wisdom
Your friends expect you to change, so they treat you different
Through all my fame in my life, I have grown
If my wife decided she gone, I might wanna die alone
I'ma be honest ‘cause every rapper alive
Including I puts a persona up but I promise what
You seein’ has truly been me, but I ain’t 5’9”
All the time, sometimes I’m just Ryan - a human being
[Chorus: Songvibe]
They only see the light
But look behind the camera
And then you’ll find an answer
On the other side
Look closer, you will find
A message for the dreamer
The grass ain’t always greener
On the other side
[Verse 2: Joell Ortiz]
I can’t believe she hopped in homie whip
My boo got blinded by the chromy lip and all that dough he get
That he would blow and trick on open toes to rock with all the
Clothes she pick, dim-lit restaurants with the Kobe dish
Then neck the Moë' he sips
Man, you ain’t even like champagne, you little phoney bitch
You on homie dick, look at you walking in them heels
Like they Sauconys bitch, God, this is crap, I mean, holy shit
I took you in when you got knocked up
Argue with your moms about why I'ma fuck your pops up
Graveyard shift, liftin’ a box up
Ain’t wanna risk being locked up, I just wanted to be a good pops, but
You took my son like he was only yours
We used to go to war on the phone, you had no remorse
You cold, your heart shiverin'
You was on an arm of a artist, but that's just women when...
[Chorus: Songvibe]
They only see the light
But look behind the camera
And then you’ll find an answer
On the other side
Look closer, you will find
A message for the dreamer
The grass ain’t always greener
On the other side
[Verse 3: Joe Budden]
Lately, I’m somber, my relationship with karma
Got me peelin' at my skin, wishin' I was made of armor
Shady, I’m honored; thanks for takin' in this monster
Deeper than the stab wound given by my baby momma
Tryna figure if I fear love
Or if the devil got him in some type of bear hug that I’m not aware of
Just cope, do what works for you
I’m prettier inside, tryna be reversible
I mean, moms never changed (Nah), never hurt her view
So when she go, so do I, make that hearse for two
I feel my heart, and I'm reminded it's cold
They say our bodies gonna perish, and our spirits will be assigned new trolls
So if you was climbin' with Joe, when it’s my time to go
Fuck a funeral, get out there, and find my soul
'Cause alone, I’d break
I need y’all to help prove that I’m not just God’s lone mistake
[Chorus: Songvibe]
They only see the light
But look behind the camera
And then you’ll find an answer
On the other side
Look closer, you will find
A message for the dreamer
The grass ain’t always greener
On the other side
