I never switched sides
I just switched lanes
I got older and realised everybody ain’t built the same
There are just times in life that you have to look away
Some might say you gave up cause they don’t understand your way
Some might be silent but eyeing you in display
Either ways none of them carries your pain
So put a restriction when it come to carrying your gain
Not to point the obvious but that is the point of switching lanes
Life is a bitch and you are riding on her train
Her sisters are mean, you don’t want to get under their veins
By name, they are witch, bitch and snitch
Open your eyes and use your brain a little, you might see what I mean
But were ever there is bad, you would always have good behind the frame
Destiny is something else, it could be as harsh a hurricane
Or it could be as nice as the rain *
Either ways only one could taste as good as a sugar cane
They say peace is often difficult to attain
But on the contrary, I say peace is often difficult to maintain
More…this more problem, which do you refrain
As soon as you open your mouth, they say ‘why do you complain?’
They weigh their life and what they believe is yours and call you inhumane
Those are people that – life is hard to explain
They say “if you can’t beat them join them” that’s a negative say
And thats why I don’t switch sides, I just switch lanes.
*(The irony of a hurricane being advantage to newly contractions and rain being a disaster as destroying them constructions)
