The Other Side
Justin Timberlake SZA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stop hating on yourself
Quit playing with your mind
You're spinning
If you think that I'm a liar
Just try it for yourself
The clouds will open up
Blue skies are willing
Yeah, I know
It's so hard to throw away
The clouds will open up
Blue skies are willing
Back on your feet again
Lift your head, hold it high
You wanna run it back
But you can't turn the time
You start to feel like you're losing your shine
But the grass ain't always greener on the other side
The other side
Got you stuck in your mind
You start to
Feel like you're losing your shine
But the grass ain't always greener on the other side
Hey you
Stop stressing 'bout what you're missing
So blue
Just take it easy, take your time, if
You think my words are wise
Just try it for yourself
I promise the stars will light the path you walk
Don't give in
Got a heart of gold
What a shame to go to waste
The clouds will open up
Blue skies are willing
Back on your feet again
Lift your head, hold it high
You wanna run it back
But you can't turn the time
You start to feel like you're losing your shine
But the grass ain't always greener on the other side
The other side
(Feet again, lift your head, hold it high)
Got you stuck in your mind
(Run it back, but you can't turn the time)
You start to
Feel like you're losing your shine
But the grass ain't always greener on the other side
Just take it from me, you'll be okay
'Cause it don't matter how sweet it taste
The grass ain't green, don't worry
Losing sleep, still want to
Get, yeah, you get
Back on your feet again
Lift your head, hold it high
You wanna run it back
But you can't turn the time
You start to feel like you're losing your shine
But the grass ain't always greener on the other side
You start to feel like you're losing your shine
But the grass ain't always greener on the other side
In "The Other Side," Justin Timberlake and SZA offer words of encouragement to someone who seems to be going through a tough time. The song begins with JT saying, "You're preaching to the choir, stop hating on yourself, quit playing with your mind, you're spinning." Here, he is telling the person to stop overthinking and criticizing themselves. He then continues to encourage them to take a chance and try something new, which will "open up the clouds," leading to "blue skies."
The chorus essentially says that while it may seem like the grass is always greener on the other side, it isn't always the case. The second verse continues the message of the chorus, encouraging the person to stop stressing about what they're missing and take their time. The bridge, sung by SZA, reminds the person that they have a "heart of gold," and it's a shame for it to go to waste.
Overall, "The Other Side" is a song that encourages people to keep going when they feel like they're stuck in a rut. It's important to stop overthinking and take a chance on something new, because sometimes what we think is better may not be the case. The song's catchy beat and upbeat message make it a great choice for anyone feeling down or discouraged.

@@Man.from.the.90sgeneration We all are heartbreakers, all of our thoughts are evil and all our good deeds are filthy rags.
Jeremiah 17:9 - The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Mark 7:21 - For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Romans 1:21 - Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Isaiah 64:6
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
We all were:
Psalms 51:5 - Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Our Life Is Like Unto A Race
1 Corinthians Chapter 9
24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
Why are rich and famous depressed?
lets list the reasons;
they`re trans, faking life 100% daily
their master is lucifer, the father of lies.
they have no looks, needs to fake these,
they have no talent, needs to fake these.
they are famous only a moment.
they are rich only for moment.
To have the moment on stage, wicked and sick ritual must be performed.
They are masons in masonry.
Nothing`s real, only illusions.
They have it harder , to give their soul over to CHRIST and return back HEAVEN (Luke 18:25 KJV and Mark 10:25 KJV)
true Christians are born again = new creatures in CHRIST, able to no longer sin and able to understand GOD perfectly.
We are to make a conscious choosing between GOD = CHRIST and mammon = lucifer.
Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
we since birth live in the devils kingdom, this earth here, it shall be created anew, but not yet, still is the church time = still time for souls to get saved and be raptured up. until we come to repentance and born again, we remain living according to the devil.
devils expectations to us are:
lie/deceive kill destroy remain wicked sinner who praise death daily.
because devil is the father of lies:
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
GOD `s expectations to us:
come to repentance
come out from BABYLON
born again
live holy
do the will of your heavenly father.
Matthew 9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
1 Peter 1:16 - Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

I’ve been a fan of SZA for a long time... as a singer, as a songwriter, as a performer, as an artist. When we started working on The Other Side, it was clear that her voice and vision were exactly what the song needed, and I’m HONORED to have collaborated with her on this. Hopefully more to come on some R&B SET THE MOOD RIGHT VIBE... I’m really proud of this one and the message it represents. Turn it up, share it, and go tell SZA she’s a 🦄💎 https://smarturl.it/xTheOtherSide
