The Other Side
The Abogix (J.K.) Lyrics

I spy with my little eye
I have noticed something or someone using my sense of sight

A murderer, a murderer
I have spotted someone who has committed a murder, possibly in the past or in the present

So long the ratchet in the streets
This person has been in the streets for a long time, possibly causing trouble or being involved in criminal activity

You never heard of her, streets you never heard of her
This person is not well-known or famous, they are just a regular person in the neighborhood

These are the people who are trying hard to slip over,tryin' hard to slip over
These people are trying to escape their current situation or circumstances and start a new life or a new chapter in their life

We're sailing always sailing in the sea of years go by
We are always moving forward in time, constantly aging and experiencing the effects of time passing

I know I know I know I came a long way
I am aware that I have made a lot of progress and achieved a lot in my life

Oh yeah with from my heart knock all day
My heart has been through a lot of struggles and hardships, but it still keeps beating and persevering

I kill a killed with a spitter 9 mm on my hip with the debt
I have been involved in violent activities and I carry a 9mm handgun with me as a means of protection or offense

Then sign me a dealer
I may have started selling drugs as a means of survival or earning money

Had it hard so you been a nigga cry me a river
I have faced a lot of challenges in my life, so I don't want to hear anyone else complain about their problems

'Cause I'm from the piss and life's grind me his liver
I come from a poor and difficult background, which has left a lasting impact on me

I mean it's spitter then brooder then fruit her
I have gone through various stages in my life, each with their challenges and struggles

Then I'm really little
I was small or young during some of these stages of my life

Got a brother and a sister and I'm in the middle
I have siblings and I am the middle child

Mother tryin' to figure out how to we me a dinner
My mother struggled to provide meals for me and my siblings

Then I had a piece of bread for my little nigga
I had to share my food with someone who was also in need

'Cause he waiting outside
The other person was waiting outside, possibly because they were too shy or afraid to ask for help

Too shy to ask and too young to die
The person waiting outside was too afraid or ashamed to ask for help, but they were also too young to give up on life

Two years go by, he a killer
After some time has passed, the other person has become involved in violent and criminal activities

Pissed up high the pillar then he go to work
The person was high on drugs and then went to commit a crime

Monkey see monkey do grow the gorilla
The person was influenced by others around them and became more aggressive and violent

So he turn another wife into a widow
The person killed someone's spouse, possibly leaving their children without a parent

Which turned another son into a bidder
The parent's death resulted in their child turning to a life of crime or violence to seek revenge or support themselves

Root of all evil it's all lethal
Money and greed can cause people to do terrible things that can have a fatal outcome

Injection without interjecting for people
People can be impacted by the actions of others without being directly involved or given a chance to speak up

Fall back but ain't no kush around here
Even though I may hold back or try to avoid trouble, there is still danger and violence present in my environment

This is my block call a cock block
This neighborhood is my territory and I will protect it from any outsiders or threats

'Cause ain't no pussy round here
There are no weak or cowardly people here that can be easily taken advantage of

He's a hard head and a pot head
This person is stubborn and may also use drugs, which can lead to risky behavior and poor decision-making

If he'll keep it up he'll be a chop head
If this person continues their drug use and risky behavior, they may end up being targeted by others or putting themselves in danger

But he heard his voice in the future instead
This person has had a moment of clarity or realization and is starting to think about the potential consequences of their actions

And he said
This is the start of the person's inner monologue or reflection on their life and choices

If even small it seem so high
Even small obstacles or challenges can seem insurmountable at times

It's just a wall I made it on the other side
However, these obstacles can be overcome and conquered with effort and determination

And I won't let you slide
I won't let you give up or settle for less than what you are capable of achieving

Love won't break I'll catch you on the other side
Love and support from others can help you get through difficult times and reach your goals

Metsie metsie for all my blessings in the murk seat
I am grateful for all the good things in my life, even though they may be hard to see or appreciate at times

'Cause sometimes it could've gotten messy
Things could have gone wrong or taken a turn for the worse, but I am thankful that they didn't

Like if my shot came and left me
I may have been involved in a dangerous situation where I could have been shot or seriously injured, but I survived

Still acting willin' dumb and thirsty
Even though I have survived and have much to be thankful for, I may still act recklessly or carelessly at times

Still saying come and test me
I am still daring others to challenge me, even though I know it may not be in my best interest

Still selling crack by young ol Wesley
I may still be involved in illegal activities, such as selling drugs, even though I know it is wrong

And low wage cops can still can arrest me
I may still face consequences or be targeted by law enforcement, even if I am not a high-profile criminal

That's just not sexy
This situation or lifestyle is not glamorous or desirable, even though some people may think it is

I know you feel it who would've thought
I am aware that others may be able to relate to my struggles or experiences, even if they seem unexpected or unlikely

I would go four wheelin' in Morocco
Despite my difficult background or past experiences, I have been able to enjoy new experiences and opportunities

With a fine dime I brought from Stockholm
I have had romantic or intimate relationships with people from different places or backgrounds

Take it from a war child never enlisted
I have been through many struggles and challenges, but I have never been involved in a literal war or military conflict

Life is twisted like
Life can be unpredictable and filled with unexpected twists and turns

I'm not the only one Lenin said
I am not the only person who has experienced adversity or difficult circumstances, as even famous historical figures like Lenin have spoken about struggles in life

Chapman is here, but Lenin's dead
While some people have been able to overcome adversity or make progress in their lives, others have not been as fortunate and have passed away

Don't let me go astray
I am asking for guidance and support to help me stay on the right path

'Cause I am afraid
I am scared or nervous about the future and what may happen next

I need your strength
I am acknowledging that I cannot face my fears or challenges alone and need the help of others

So I won't be afraid
I hope that with the strength and support of others, I can become more confident and less fearful of what may happen next
