The Other Side Of Town
Masta Ace

Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen. Sorry to bother you today. My name isnn Joe. And, um, I'm not on crack, I don't do drugs, I'm just trying to getnn something to eat. If you can give just a penny, a nickel..a dime, ann quarter..anything will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time...nn and have a nice day.nn nn How do you do?nn I'm from the other side of townnn The place where the only skin you see is the color brownnn The sun never shines in this place where I livenn And it's hard to do right when you feel negativenn I have no compassionnn I only know agressionnn And there is nothing great about this opressionnn People I see on TV, in there towns live the good lifenn But I live out of boundsnn Where nobody comes unless they're forced to comenn In school, they call me the bum from the slumnn But they don't knownn My sista has no food to eatnn And her hand-me-down shoes are too tight for her feetnn The way I see things, life isn't fairnn So I never learned how to share or to carenn But to hope - and hopenn Instead of feeling downnn And that's how it isnn On the other side of townnn nn I live on the other side of townnn nn Pardon me, brothann As you stand in your glorynn I hope you don't mind as I tell the whole storynn Some people livin life like fun in the sunnn But yo, others are givin strife, and that's all they knownn I feel no comfort in talks from the Presidentnn So put back on Cosbynn A shack is my residentnn I think if I ever die, it might be a blessinnn Some say I never try, but why are they stressinnn I'll never get ahead; my raps have a better chancenn I'm livin on Wonder Bread with holes in my leather pantsnn I'm not on the drug scene; they call me a crack headnn I just had a bugged dream that I was a black mannn Workin in the hospitalnn Then in came in a half-dead rich bitchnn Yo, they must be insanenn You think I would save her?nn Yo, she wouldn't save menn I asked for a quater once, and guess what she gave menn A fuckin pennynn A ?quarter? costs half a millnn If it's up to me, yo, she's pushin up dafodilsnn In a casketnn Payback's a female dognn Yo, send her ass to the morguenn Then I woke up, and I sat with a frownnn Damn, I woke upnn But on the other side of townnn nn The other side of townnn nn My teacher's a fat mannn Yo, how can they tempt me sonn Fuck geometry, my stomach is empty, yonn Can't you teach me to win this crazy game?nn You and I are in so many ways the samenn People tell me, but I don't believe that shitnn Why do you sell me a dream, then leave me spit?nn The truth is bare, and so is my cupboards, toonn I wonder what could even L. Ron Hubbard donn Because my mind right now is on the brink of breakinnn Yo, look how I thinknn I think I'll stick up the store with the Arab guynn I'm sick of him anyway; his prices are too highnn Or maybe I'll start sellin Avon door-to-doornn Then pull a jammy, and make a bigger scorenn Nah, maybe I'll start sellin dope for my cousnn Then I could drive the same car he doesnn The life of a poor mannn Consider me desperatenn I sleep in a cold roomnn And wish I could just getnn A piece of the pienn Is that asking too much?nn I can't even reach what others have in their clutchnn I wish I could go on, but I have to end thisnn And get back to livin a life that is winlessnn There's no use swimmin, so I might as well drownnn In my sorrowsnn Cause tomorrow's the other side of townnn nn The other side of townnn The other side of town
