Melodownz 2 Sides Of 1 Coin
[Verse 1] [First Perspective]
Peer pressures got me feelin' like my palms sweaty
My Adrenalin is kickin' in, the older homies told me if I want to roll I gotta get it in
Sparked up the medicine from Thomas Edisons light bulb, high hopes, I told my soul to get a grip
I lit a cigarette
Had a shot of johnny now I'm coughing it
Screaming F..ck The World, getting on an on some oner shit
Wore my black hoodie thats the color of my mood, grab my tools, put it in my bag, im ready to intrude, stomach saying that I need some food
I haven't eaten, f..ck it, jump inside the white Honda Civic and started speeding to the destination, pulled up to the spot
Heart started racing, couldn't feel my face like im not ready for this home invasion
I close my eyes and held my stomach like I need a vomit. Open up my eyes and then i yell "Fuck it I need some money"
Hoped out the ride and slowly walked toward the front door
Made my way inside, creeping, making sure no one saw
Inside the house, walked into the room with gold rings on the dressing table next to the perfume
Filled up my bag and kept creeping 'till i heard a sound, my nerves started to pound harder, then i turned around and saw this woman
She started screaming
I started panicking
Didn't know what to do so then I punched her in the abdomen
I didn't even know whats happening, shit was and accident, grabbed the stash from the cabinet and started gappin it
Threw the bag in the back of the ride
Im trynna hide the fear, i wanted to cry, inside I wipe the tears, dont have the right to care
The homie gave me the whisky bottle, shit, then hit it straight, F..ck the world, got to make an earn'n to live another day
Its Peer Pressure
[Chorus]
F..ck the world, imma live it how i wanna
Some find success, some of us are goners but they gotta love the world, imma live it how i like
Some addicted to the money, some addicted to the pipe
There's always two sides to the coin you flip
Always two sides
Always two sides
Always two sides to the story
One gets forgotten and the other gets the glory
[Verse 2] [Perspective 2]
I woke up in the morning, feeling tired, morning sickness, missed my period
Went to the kitchen and made some cereal
My boy friend left for work, he does marketing
I need to clean the house but, being pregnant gets sore on the Achilles
I had to sit down for a minute
Then I made a smoothie
Banana, couple of apples and some spinach, call my sister cause she had a falling out with her man
He got drunk one night
Almost used the Xans
Did the dishes, only had a couple of pots and some pans, pulled the meat out of the freezers, gotta, defrost the lamb
For tea tonight, gotta make sure that I'm eating right or soon I won't be able to fit - my bikini right
I thought I heard the door slam, must have been the neighbors, they're annoying in the weekend cause they always ask for favors
Front door was open, that was strange I thought I shut it, heard another noise coming from my room, I started buzzing as if someone's in the house
How could there be
I started gettin' scared so I approached the hallway, thinking its only me
Got to my bedroom and, what do i see
A young man dressed in black 'n he was staring at me
(Scream Noise)
So I scream at the top of my lungs, started panicking, he looked me in the eyes and then he punched me in the abdomen
I fell to the ground, curled up and held my stomach while I'm thinking about my unborn child
Started vomiting and worrying
I crawl to the phone, dial 111, really praying for my unborn son
Within a few minutes there were some cops and paramedics, they escorted me to the ambulance inside the stretcher
The constable then came for the rides
To ask some questions, I was still in shock I found it really hard to string a sentence
He told me to take my time but I insisted
"Just make sure you catch the little stupid cunt that did this"
[Chorus 2]
F..ck the world, imma live it how I wanna
Some find success, some of us are goners but they gotta love the world, imma live it how I like
Some addicted to the money, some addicted to the pipe
Theres always two sides to the coin you flip
Always two sides
Always two sides
Always two sides to the story
(Two Sides)
One gets forgotten and the other gets the glory
[Vocal & Instrumental Interlude]
Always two sides
See most people
They're struggling
To make ends meet, yes they are
You never know what they've been through, you never know where they come from, or how they got here
Eh eh
So they do what they gotta do
Don't trust all that you hear, cause that might not be real
[Vocal interlude]
You never know
You never know
You never know
Ooooh
Always two sides
[Guitar Instrumental]
[Rapper interview]
They can't stop us, that's why there's so much negative media going on about rap, because they know all there children see is that television, that's the only connection they got
To the Ghetto, or what ever
Cause it's not like they walk right up into it, they can't
Word up
That's like all... that's like one new community in itself
(They wanna know whats going on)
They wanna know whats going on and we giving it to em, its something they don't know (its only right)
The lyrics and the videos
That's why we can't water down our videos, why would we water down life, real actual life
If little kids are standing on the block and he gets shot he can't change the channel
This is real life man...
