The Other Side
The G.O.A.T. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If it ain't me then it won't stick sometimes we gotta get up
Learn the harder way, can't love no bitch ain't cause she bad as fuck
Nigga try to count me out, I get that shit wasn't adding up
But I ain't give a fuck, I stay down on my ten and ran it up
Late night I'm clutching on my fye, sometimes I sit and wonder why
It ain't no telling what I'mma do, you can see that shit all in my eye
I be smiling sometimes, but I can't cap that shit just a disguise
Gotta read between the lines, just to see the other side
I be clutching on my fye, at night I'm barely getting sleep
Reminiscing, taking drives, thinking about you and me
That ain't how it's supposed to be when you had left it stuck with me
The other night I shed some tears pumping gas at the QT
Knowing I can't get my brother back, be taking a toll on me
Man I can't lie, they got me weak, sometimes I don't even wanna eat
Thought I had her down, bitch, I peed the sign, she for the street
I remember spraying them rounds for niggas, who wasn't spraying them rounds for me
It took some time for me to realize they hate and envy me
I was blessed to hit the sidewalk, cause I made it off the street
Fear no never fold forever, solid, this shit still in me
I got a purpose, I ain't worthless, still got mud on both my cleats
If it ain't me then it won't stick sometimes we gotta get up
Learn the harder way, can't love no bitch ain't cause she bad as fuck
Nigga try to count me out, I get that shit wasn't adding up
But I ain't give a fuck, I stay down on my ten and ran it up
Late night I'm clutching on my fye, sometimes I sit and wonder why
It ain't no telling what I'mma do, you can see that shit all in my eye
I be smiling sometimes, but I can't cap that shit just a disguise
Gotta read between the lines, just to see the other side
Aye, this no cap man, I remember got damn the day before my brother died, right
We went and gone pull a move, we ain't have shit in our packet




We came back to the house, bust down a thousand a piece
No cap, I'm my brother's keeper

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of “The Other Side” by The G.O.A.T. speak of complicated relationships and the struggle to move forward. The repeated phrase “Where is this love, keep it covered” suggests that the love in the relationship is hidden or concealed. The singer pleads for their lover to come back to them, repeatedly asking them to “run to me lover”. They also express frustration in feeling stuck in the past or uncertain about the future, and wondering if they need to let go of something.


The lyrics also suggest that the relationship faces challenges stemming from a lack of communication and trust. The line “even when both come up, knowing it’ll be televised like the remote does” may be a reference to the idea that even when they both try to communicate or come to a solution, it feels like their every move is being watched and judged. The lyrics reference insecurities, with the singer stating that “It’s hard to know who wore the pants, good as you looked with them off”. The ending of the song provides a sense of hope for reconciliation, with the chorus urging the lover to “run to me” and for the couple to make it through to the other side together.
