Saeed - The Other Side [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
The other side is like where Darth Vader resides, its dark
No sunlight everything happens at night
A new hope I'm trying to be, drug empires strike back
Padawans listen up stay away from the streets
This sidious bastard tried to insidious me
But I'm mentally strong enough to reject your energy
I'm ready for anything the world has to offer
Attacks from the media, E-thugs gang banging through their keyboards
Paparazzi taking pictures snap back to my past it ain't pretty
I'm trying to reach the other side of poverty
I'm on a quest to be wealthy
The other side is like hamsterdam
There's a thin line between heaven and hell here
Drugs are everywhere, pop mollies drinking shots of Belvedere
Sex is in the air, it smells like teen spirit
But these kids are only in middle school
And they already pulling triggers, doing drugs, and taking shots of liquor
I'm fighting these demons trying to stay straight but the streets keep calling my name
The game is in your veins
Crime rates elevate when things go astray
Out here you're just trying to live to see another day
Despite the shit you go through on a everyday basis
Its good to be alive when you on the other side
You just trying to survive and make it to 25
Define the odds and thank God you alive

[Verse 2]
When you die the other side its good to be high
Above the clouds God's kingdom in heaven
When you die there's two sides you soul can be given
So many questions like will my sins be forgiven?
Did I do the right things? God knows I had good intentions
But the dark side of the street life made me lose my religion
I tried to resist temptations and make the best decisions
I'm trying to be an example for my generation
Thats obsessed with dumb shit and twerking for recognition
Now there's a thick line between heaven and hell now
Do the right things like Spike Lee
Try to maintain before you go crazy and kill radio Raheem
And nobody is perfect but the devil is lurking
Out searching for weak souls to purchase
With no refunds so recite your verses
And just stay strong and live with a purpose
