You know they always said that grass is greener on the other side...
But I wonder, is that true? Is that factual?
Maybe so. Maybe not
Lets get into it
"Black and Mild" sparks as my mind wonders
How I even start with this rain and thunder?
They say pray for water cause it brings growth
But I reside in Arizona homie I don't know
If I can trust that
I wasn't taught to walk by faith, turn the cheek and all that, nah
I was taught to fight back
But it's hard to fight back these tears, that's all facts
If I was a little richer, my name a little bigger
Exchange my cup for a pitcher
I would be satisfied, driving the sickest ride
Living the lavish life, fulfill my appetite
Just pipe dreams from a young man
Asking "Drake" man what is Gods plan?
Is it pain or is it foolish pride..
To make a man wonder what's it like, on the other side
You know I always wondered that
But you gotta' know something
They say grass is greener on the other side
But I know sometimes man that's a lie
Ya' gotta' be content with your own life
Ya' gotta' be content with your own life
They say grass is greener on the other side
But I know sometimes man that's a lie
Ya' gotta' be content with your own life
Ya' gotta' be content with your own life
Oh you wanna' be rich you wanna' stack it up?
Before you go another step let's hold, back it up
See when your entrapped by the consumption
It's a never ending junction
Corporate ladders and the rungs don't end with well done
Gave so many hours to the dollars that they showed me
While my lady's all alone, she needs a husband not a coldly ATM
And At a The Moment if you saw me
In my soul deep
You would see that all the "Rollie's'" and the riches don't restore me
From the arson, you see the scars man
And you say that this is living, I'm exhausted, God said
The eye of the needle, I see why cause the evil
In the chase of keeping up, I don't even like these people
I'm exhausted, and I'm lost man
Need redemption, cause consumption got me stuck up in the "Shawshank"
Glossy, green, on the other side don't be deceived
It got me running so hard, I can't even...
Breath
They say grass is greener on the other side
But I know sometimes man that's a lie
Ya' gotta' be content with your own life
Ya' gotta' be content with your own life
