Representin Both Sides
J. Stew Lyrics

Uh, yeah, yeah, they playin' both sides, like, what, what
Some people try to appear neutral or unbiased, but it's obvious they're being deceitful

Yeah, yeah, they playin' both sides, you can't do that, though, you can't act holy on a Sunday
It's hypocritical to act righteous one day and then behave differently for the rest of the week

Then do whatever you want for the rest of the week, like, just sayin', though what what
It's important to align your actions with your beliefs consistently, not just on a specific day

Yeah, yeah, they playin' both sides, really a believer, Ion ever need a cosign
Despite others doubting or not supporting, I remain steadfast in my faith

They gon' try to knock me out my spot, I gotta move wise
People will attempt to hinder my progress, so I must make smart decisions

I really be seein' through the cap like I got four eyes
I have a keen ability to recognize deception or falsehoods

Yeah, like, what they talkin' bout
I don't pay much attention to the meaningless chatter of others

I been movin' with the spirit, ain't got much to talk about
I rely on my spiritual connection and have little interest in empty conversations

Yeah, we go to war, we see the devil, we gon' chalk him out
When faced with evil, we confront it head-on and prevail

I gotta go pray, I ain't got no time to talk it out
Instead of engaging in pointless debates, I prioritize prayer and seeking guidance

They gon' talk about it, but they ain't really gon' walk it out, walk it out
People may discuss their beliefs, but they often fail to live according to them

Keep my Bible on my hip, my head up on a swivel
I always carry my Bible and remain vigilant and aware of my surroundings

I see revival through my brothers, can do nothin' little
The unity and spirit of my fellow believers bring about a powerful spiritual transformation

She gon' try to play me, but she can't figure me out, like I'm a riddle
Despite others trying to manipulate or misunderstand me, I remain enigmatic and unyielding

Lotta demons on my mental, had to get away
I have faced numerous inner battles and had to find solace by distancing myself from negative influences

Took a flight to Cali, we go shopping when we hit the bay
As a form of relaxation, I escaped to California and indulged in retail therapy upon reaching the bay

I can't trip about the past, we gon' see another day
I refuse to become consumed by past mistakes and instead focus on the future

God, He got my back, yeah I know that He gon' make a way
I firmly believe that God is supportive and will guide me through challenging situations

Lot of people fake, they like Kobe, they gon' fade away
Many individuals pretend to be genuine, but their true colors will eventually reveal themselves

I just put my trust in God, you know Ima move in faith
I rely solely on my faith in God and trust in His guidance for my actions

Worshipin' my Savior, I just do it on these 808s
I express my devotion and praise to my Savior through the music's beats and rhythms

I really be workin', I be grindin' on my day-to-day
I consistently put in effort and work hard in my daily life

Why they hatin' on me, ion know why
I don't understand why some people harbor negativity or animosity towards me

Swervo in the cut, no, I be steppin', I be too fly
I confidently navigate through challenging situations without being affected, as I am stylish and impressive

I call up my brothers, cuz I know they down to ride
When in need, I can rely on my loyal friends to support and stand by me

God up on my side, yeah, I know he boutta slide
With God on my side, I am certain that He will intervene and come to my aid

He be steppin' in my section like he bussin out that fye
God actively involves Himself in my life, making significant and powerful contributions

We gon' lay him down, I don't even gotta try
Evil or negative forces will be defeated effortlessly by God and me

Caught a demon in my spliff, we gon' leave him in the sky
I have successfully overcome internal struggles and will let them go, leaving them behind

Like what, Like what? What? Yeah, they playin' both sides
It's frustrating and confusing when individuals pretend to be on everyone's side

Really a believer I don't never need a cosign, they gon' try to knock me out my spot
I have strong faith, and I don't require validation from others, but they will still attempt to hinder my progress

I gotta move wise, I really be seein' through the cap like I got four eyes
To succeed, I must make calculated decisions and perceive deceit or lies with great clarity
