See You on the Other Side

Lyrics: TAKF Music: TAKF Arranger: TAKF Eighteen, packed up all my cash to a different path Carry all the projects, eyes on the bag Landed in T-dot, breath tight, hope thin Cold wind cut deep like a sharp knife but I held it within Met a girl with a smile like the April rain Swore she was the one, I let her moved in Condo life, fake peace behind glass walls Second-hand Mercedes Benz, feel rich till gas calls Dropped outta uni — them books felt fake Pain in regression, all over the nights I break What happens if I didn’t Switched to college for less Would I get into debts, that tuition can slave Days into nights, then nights into years Sleep came slow, and the silence grew near Watched my life slip like change through a tight rip No cheque in the fist, just a page I can’t flip Oh (Just a page I can’t flip) See you on the other side (Just a page I can’t flip) Oh (Just a page I can’t flip) See you on the other side (Just a page I can’t flip) Moved out to Peg City, air cold, sky blank Thought I would breathe free, but got hit by the flank Pizza shifts, pieces of ****, is all over mind Wondering what it would cost, to get out of this time Then came a suit, accounting firm desk clean “Stable life” they said felt more like a screen Nine to five, overtime, my body get numb But five to nine is what I meant to get shine Pull out the mirror, I see a man ain’t ready to see Not in age, but how I gave life for the fee Walked in these streets, bleed, with a verse on my quest But lived like a ghost, just passed every test Packed up the pieces, dreams are fading but alive Told myself, “you could always go back and survive.” Not a loss, just a lesson for what freedom costs In a world where your soul gets sold but never lost Oh (Just a page I can’t flip) See you on the other side (Just a page I can’t flip) Oh (Just a page I can’t flip) See you on the other side (Just a page I can’t flip) I ain’t done yet, just one page that bends One door is shut down, but the story extends She flew to Oz I can’t keep her with me Lately Nights get deeper, and life is a **** Wrote my first LP — no fans, just a mark Called it Immortality it was made from the heart The system tried to break me though, thought they could left me all dry But I pressed that wax, let my soul done purify Didn’t chart, didn’t blow, but I hit a few minds Heard ’em sayin, “this kid ain’t pushing drop-tops in lines.” No million views, no check coming from a suit Just a pen, some truth, and a mic from a booth Used to think peace was a paycheck hope the numbers go up Chill at a spot, smoke rock, ignorance is all I got When the world don’t clap, and the lights all drop You still breathe, still rise, still walk to the top Oh (Just a page I can’t flip) See you on the other side (Just a page I can’t flip) Oh (Just a page I can’t flip) See you on the other side (Just a page I can’t flip)
