The Other Side (Greener Grass)

They say the grass is greener

On the other side, but that's a lie

Now who don't wanna be the cool kid?

Fresh pair of kicks, popular school kid

All things hot, from the top to the socks

At the bus stop, flock full of friends

But watch, when they go home

Now love is shown, they feel all alone

As opposed to the child

Who feels that their life is missin' somethin'

But maybe it wasn't

There's one thing that you gotta know

Everybody has a story to be told, yeah, that's so

So try not to judge a book by its cover, kid

If you start reading, you'll discover somethin' under it

That you may not like, so it's not right to compare lifes

You don't know the fight they goin' through

'Cause you ain't right there in their shoes

I'm certain that everybody hurtin' behind the curtain

If you took a step today, a breath today

Well, that's a blessing, you gotta give thanks

If you got food on your plate

Don't matter that it's not filet

'Cause some ain't eatin' at all

Worried the house that you sleep in is small

When you got shelter and heat

Others all curled up in a ball

'Cause someone will always have more

But no one has all

They say the grass ain't always greener

On the other side, and, yeah, that's right

So always go on, live your life

Keep your future bright, don't give up the fight

Now who don't wanna be ballin'?

Thinkin' that money makes stress all end

Let's use the example of wife and husband

Got bills, up in debt, negative abundance

But let's say one day

He get a promotion, come with increased pay

But now he's not home, he's away

Workin' nights late when his kids wanna play

Either way, there will always be pain

There can't be flowers without rain

When the showers come again

Increase the power of your flame

If you can dream it and you believe it

Then you can achieve it, don't give into weakness

It's not about fallin' down, it's about gettin' back up when it counts

Yo, I said

Winners never quit, and quitters never win

If your grass ain't green enough, then water it again

Water it again, water it again

Don't stop waterin' until your life ends

Might be hard at the bottom when you try to float

No matter the problem, gotta find hope

Live every day like it's the last

Your life is yours, you color the grass (Turn it up)

They say the grass is greener

On the other side, but that's a lie

So always live your life

Don't let it fly by worryin' about the other side

(Yeah) Side

Happiness doesn't come as a result of

Getting something we don't have

But rather from recognizing and appreciating

What we do have

So don't mess up something good

Looking for something better

When you can end up with something worse

So just know that the grass isn't always greener

On the other side
