Song Cry - the other side

Song Cry – the other side
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qxVJg7CHdM


I think back to the time when we first met…
I remember every moment, I can never forget.

We fell in love that night, laying, staring at the sky
Who ever thought me and you would be the ones to say goodbye.

And at the time with all the things I was going through…
You just stole my diary, stole my heart, and made me part of you.

You introduced me to a life that helped me to find a way…
And from that moment on - every day for you I would pray.

Every struggle I felt, every hit I took with you,
But now that you’re gone, I don’t know what to do.

Sometimes the pain would take me to my knees…
I’d just look back up to the sky crying and begging the Lord please.

With you, I’d always compete.
I’d ask - you’d say no - I find it my way - then repeat.

It seems like we were so damn happy when we were building
But not everything that glitters is gold, it’s just gilding.

In the beginning, all the girls, I really and truly didn’t care.
Because those bitches didn’t have shit on us, and of that, I was well aware.

But then it, they, them, it all became too much…
I became jaded and my emotions became out of touch.

I have never been as much of a soldier, as I been, when it came to me and you…
With you by my side, there wasn’t a god damn drill I couldn’t get through.

I’d give my life for you, for this game, but it wasn’t ever returned…
How many times were you gonna sit back and watch as I got burned?

Even to this day, sometimes I forget who I am, without you…
But I know it’s not reciprocated so what was a girl supposed to do.

I called you when I saw them outside; I needed help, now I need to know why
You left me with the decision get robbed, go to jail, or die.

I chose to do the laundry because at least the decision was mine.
But I can’t believe of all people YOU were the one to put me on that line.

But I am not going to sit here and cry. Not one more fucking tear…
Cause with me and you gone, I swear to fucking god I have not left one more fucking fear.

They say once a good girls gone bad she is gone forever…
I say no, she’s just mad, or sad, and to be treated that way again – She just says no. Never!

How do I get to things I wrote that are locked up? I wanna post the one about psychs then ends with “the drs say it’s impossible too, but that’s what it is, what can I do”

Blueprint was my shit back in the day. Was glad to see that album cover again when I opened this thread. Tbh I'm kinda disappointed you didn't incorporate the original chorus, but it seemed like you're taking it in your own direction.

Would like to hear this as an audio, like you know how it should sound over this beat and that's not possible to convey perfectly through text

If there's any line to highlight here it's this one
"It seems like we were so damn happy when we were building
But not everything that glitters is gold, it’s just gilding."
Sort of the apex of this piece; it sums up a great deal.
even without the instrumental behind it, it's poetic and flows well

Ps looking at these lyrics , it seems like you need God more than you need some body. js

@bigBerd I can’t even read my poems out loud any more but write back to songs that meant the most to me…

Gilding meaning gold plated I was like YESSSSS nailed it LOL

The site was giving me a hard time joking about the good girl gone bad part

Thanks for your feedback - I want to be a normal productive person on the site again

nice lyrics

Thank you!

Better ending guys? @Soule - were you in here back then?

What about when the bad girl go good?
Was if she was just misunderstood?
Didn’t know until someone say something like how learning and growing up should… should be
But when she go good they just never see
It wasn’t for the enemy it was cause she was scared by what she see. It wasn’t cause she was someone like me. She just learned young what it’s like to be locked down compared to life when you happy and free…
So what is it about the bad girl that goes good?
Man I swear (after stealing the Lex) like damn…. you really can’t take her heart out the hood!
