x priest x - flipside lyrics

verse one :
what he saw was his life in the big screen
a light beyond the night through the side of a dim street
in a cypher, spitting his life in a sixteen
hoping his money will grow to the height of his big dreams
back in the day we was scribbling rhymes, openly
dwindling time, mostly
and they told me when i “see the sky, remember to fly closely
and hopefully won’t be most of these n-ggas living to die broke”
we in the same boat, for the time being
and hope is floating against the current
and you place a distant third, in a first and a second attempt
i hope the bigger picture is worth the perfectionist’s pen
it took to create with am i caged in, the same sh-t and whenever the page flips
and no question if it’s the same twist ending with no end to it
hoping my lane switch and i’m hoping it’s no delays in it
hoping it makes sense, is what i’m hoping

hook :
and on the real it’s just to get by
to spend the minutes alive
until your limited time is up and said i’ll catch you on the flipside
(background – and i am what i am, and i’m doing what i came to do
and you can put that on your mind and trust..)
and on the real it’s just to get by
to spend the minutes alive
until your limited time is up and said i’ll catch you on the flipside

verse two :
yeah, i see the stage is set
lights, camera action for the favorite guest
a painful threat, to lose it all when you never had sh-t and crave respect
you still tryna establish what you built out of imagining
what’s complex in a dream
even envisioning mansions and executive suites
and letting my testament speak
my only weapon is speech
you’re no reflection of me
only represent priest
i ain’t addressing no beef
plain as ever: no grief, or blame, regret or no sleep
yeah, but sh-t i’m contemplating it now
mind’s flooded trying not to complicate it with doubts
my time’s coming just another somber face in the crowd
with a bunch of roses in a city block awaiting to sprout
yeah, but seen the city steal more than you can imagine
in short, no compensation for the damages for an imaginative war
with no commander of this war
and you can abandon the remorse
given a chance and a reward
the answer we more than have to establish:
what we after to be
more than what we asking to be
more than that, we’ve answered it before
like, see when n-ggas read in between the lines, you peep
what’s either beside or what lies beneath my rhymes
i wanna be in the driver’s seat
you n-ggas p-ssengers, looking in the eyes of priest
