The Other Side (Greener Grass)

They say the grass is greener on the other side
But that's a lie

Now who don't wanna be the cool kid
Fresh pair of kicks, popular school kid
All things hot, from the top to the socks
At the bus stop, flock full of friends
But watch
When they go home, no love is shown
They feel all alone, as opposed
To the child who feels that their life is missing something
But maybe it wasn't

There's one thing that you gotta know
Everybody has a story to be told
Yeah that's so
So try not to judge a book by it's cover kid
If you start reading
You'll discover something under it
That you may not like
So it's not right to compare lives
You don't know the fight they going through
'Cause you ain't right there in they shoes
I'm certain that everybody hurting behind their curtain

If you took a step today, a breath today
Well, that's a blessing, ya gotta give thanks
If you got food on your plate
Don't matter that it's not filet
'Cause some ain't eating at all
Worried the house that you sleep in is small
When you got shelter and heat
Others all curled up in a ball
Someone will always have more
But no one has all

They say the grass ain't always greener on the other side
And yeah that's right
So always, go on live your life
Keep your future bright
Don't give up the fight

Now who don't wanna be balling
Thinking that money make stress all end
Let's use the example of wife and husband
Got bills, up in debt, negative abundance
But let's say, one day
He get a promotion, come with increased pay
But now he's not home, he's away
Working nights late when his kids wanna play

Either way, there will always be pain
There can't be flowers without rain
When the showers come again
Increase the power of your flame

If you can dream it, and you believe it
Then you can achieve it
Don't give in to weakness
'Cause it's not about falling down
It's about getting back up when it counts

Winners never quit and quitters never win
If your grass ain't green enough then water it again
Water it again, water it again
Don't stop watering until your life ends
Might be hard at the bottom when you try to float
No matter the problems, gotta find hope
Live everyday like it's the last
Your life is yours, you color the grass

They say the grass in greener on the other side
But that's a lie
So always, live your life, don't let it fly by
Worrying about the other side
Si-i-i-ide

Happiness doesn't come as a result
Of getting something we don't have
But rather from recognizing and appreciating what we do have
So don't mess up something good, looking for something better
When you can end up with something worse
So just know that the grass isn't always greener on the other side
(Side, side, side, side-)
