Right Side Left Side Brain Collide

[Hook] Right side, left side, brain hemispheres collide You're killing my creative side with your 1s and 0s, your Xs and Os Why must everything be black and white? I want to color outside the lines, see what's inside

[Verse 1] I remember when I used to play with words, be the great philosopher Transfer that knowledge, elevate my higher mind, soar further But you said, "Wait a minute, that’s not gonna work See where you are, times are hard, you gotta make it out this dirt"

Crackheads on every corner, dancing for change Old ladies getting killed by little thugs, world so strange And little ones get robbed by stick-ups, no escape You said, "Get that paper, only ball players and rappers got fate"

[Pre-Hook] "Just go to college, basketball is your ticket, don’t blow it" So true, I had to push through it

[Hook] Right side, left side, brain hemispheres collide You're killing my creative side with your 1s and 0s, your Xs and Os Why must everything be black and white? I want to color outside the lines, see what's inside

[Verse 2] Gotta choose finance, maybe walk the accountant path Study with one thought in mind—learn about money, escape the wrath The philosopher within, choked out by this system Now my creative side’s sidelined, no room for wisdom

I’m learning these Xs and Os, these 1s and 0s, chasing time Living in my mind, a trap where I can't shine Now I’m playing this game, a cat and mouse race Big rats chasing the cats, no winning space

[Pre-Hook] My dreams on hold, but something inside is still awake I refuse to let my spirit break

[Hook] Right side, left side, brain hemispheres collide You're killing my creative side with your 1s and 0s, your Xs and Os Why must everything be black and white? I want to color outside the lines, see what's inside

[Bridge] Now I’m calling my creative genius forth No more sitting on the sideline, I’m first in line Oh wait, with you, there are no lines Straight to the source, it was you who defined

Set the right and left limits, one on each side But my right and left brain weren't meant to divide They were designed to harmonize The great accountant philosopher, reconciling both sides

[Hook] Right side, left side, brain hemispheres unite No longer killing my creative side with your 1s and 0s, your Xs and Os Life isn’t just black and white I’ll color outside the lines, and see what’s inside

[Outro] Right and left, no more divide They harmonize, now I thrive inside
