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, no love is shown They feel all alone, as opposed To the child who feels that their life is missing something 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 it's cover kid If you start reading You'll discover something under it That you may not like So it's not right to compare lives You don't know the fight they going through 'Cause you ain't right there in they shoes I'm certain that everybody hurting behind their curtain If you took a step today, a breath today Well, that's a blessing, ya gotta give thanks If you got food on your plate Don't matter that it's not filet 'Cause some ain't eating at all Worried the house that you sleep in is small When you got shelter and heat Others all curled up in a ball 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 balling Thinking that money make 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 Working 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 in to weakness 'Cause it's not about falling down It's about getting back up when it counts 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 watering until your life ends Might be hard at the bottom when you try to float No matter the problems, gotta find hope Live everyday like it's the last Your life is yours, you color the grass They say the grass in greener on the other side But that's a lie So always, live your life, don't let it fly by Worrying about the other side Si-i-i-ide 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 (Side, side, side, side-)
