Bryson Cole - Otherside Lyrics

Ever since I made Stay Alive
I'm the one feeling dead inside
People think I have too much pride
That's cause they don't see the other side
The other side where I give too much
The side of me that can't hold a grudge
The side of me that just wants to love
The side of me that's finally had enough
What do you see when you see me
All of these rappers on TV you thinking it's easy
You only think they conceited
Ain't call out for help
But it's clear that they need it
Quick to observe
Quick to denounce with your words
Hateful Comments online not knowing it hurts
Jotting your feelings for others
And not getting love you deserve
What do you know bout the feeling
When you been working the hardest
And still get looked over by artist
That don't give a damn bout the craft
When they on camera they laugh
Say they been rapping for months
While you been rapping for years
Through all of blood the sweet and the tears
Through all the open mics
No replies from your quote on quote fans and your peers
I just wish you saw the other side
I just wish you saw the other side
I just wish you saw the other side of me
I just wish you saw the other side
I just wish you saw the other side
I just wish you saw the other side
I just wish you saw the other side
Support local artist get no replies
Funny how people been switching sides
Producers don't want to send me a beat
Probably cause I can't afford the fee
While They getting less views than me
Least they know what they worth
I'm always doing these things for free
Probably why I'm on the same course
Reason I'm still just as broke
Reason they take me a joke
Still I ain't never lost hope
Still I keep praying to God
I know that he loves me most
Friends keep asking to toast
Cause they swear imma make it
Swear that they smiles are real
But in the back of my head
I know they going fake it
I know that they faking
Momma keep said I'm great
But I know that ain't enough
In order to get want I want
Balancing keeping a job
While I'm still doing things that I love
Still I been writing these poems for you
Still I been searching for proof
Still I been slowly revealing the truth
Sitting depressed in this booth
Trying to get through
I just wish you saw the other side
I just wish you saw the other side
I just wish you saw the other side of me
I just wish you saw the other side
I just wish you saw the other side
I just wish you saw the other side
I just wish you saw the other side
Lately I been contemplating
If i still should pursue rap
Feels like it ain't been working out
But something seems to always call me back
Never wanted just to blend in
Made my own money since the age ten
Cause the game needed new style
Same reason I won't quit now
I can't just sit in the back
Watch all the wack
Artist destroy what we built
Getting so high off of pills
Streaming it live
You should feel some sort of guilt
It's like I got to get tats on my face
For you to look in my way
I'm going out of my way
To speak on behalf
What they been too afraid to say
Y'all using clout like some fiens
Say it's organic
But meanwhile be paying for streams
Just like you paying for views
Y'all must've got me confused
I ain't like none of these dudes
I just putting my pain in the music
In hopes I can spark Up some change
All this depression in these adolescents
Got me feeling some type of way
