The Other Side Lyrics

[Verse 1: Elusive]
I plant the seed for your self-destruction
It's II Kings, like we even need an introduction
All I'm feeling now is rage, and it shows
Guess the only thing I stage is my own abduction
So don't question my ability
You can't hurt me, invincibility
And I'll act like it was accidental
But all I really lack is mental stability
Just call me sick, cause I'm so sadistic
I make them all stand in awe, I am autistic
Kabbalistic, but I must be half mechanical
Cause as soon I hit the mic, I feel like I become cannibalistic
Like I've gotta rhyme this fast on the track, to get you to see when I pause
But I messed up, cause all I can hear is applause
But nobody cares, it's musical chairs
And if all you can see is stares, then I guess you have flaws..

[Hook: Elusive (w/ DMB)]
This is my decree
(I'll take you to the other side..)
If I spit it hot, it ain't hard to see
(I'll take you to the other side..)
But I ain't gonna lie, as I'm looking at the sky
(I'll take you to the other side..)
Wondering why I've been left here alone, it's lonely..
(The other side of my mind..)
When you have to fight, just to be free
(I'll take you to the other side..)
I can see a light, guiding me through the sea
(I'll take you to the other side..)
So I guess it must be time, I let you into my mind
(I'll take you to the other side..)
See what we can find, as we begin, on this journey..
(Cause I'm out of my mind..)
Cause I am just me..
[Verse 2: DMB]
Mother said I've got to wait until the time's right, but in the night, cats are scheming for the lime light
Now attacking with a pattern within rapping that is lacking, trying to tap in to the power that's infinite
Hold tight, slope is steep when you listen, uh, all night, he will speak through your system, uh
Alright, think he's sneaking you wisdom? He'll just keep you in prison with the dreams that you give him
The vision and the mission that has driven your decision with precision to collision - brother bad aim
Emissions from the fission that you're dishing keep on missing, now you're wishing you could give in - got to maintain
Long breath, hold it deep in your lungs, uh, old text got me speaking in tongues, uh
Cold bars that are keeping me numb, as we Cheeching' and Chong - we're asleep all along
In hell, in a bulletproof cell where the bullet shoots well, we spend our spell
Intel on how the beast fell, shared by an infidel is the story we tell
But we got to keep our faith up till we die, facing toward all this hatred and despise
Racing for what I am chasing in the skies, when we break through all the lies, we will make it out alive
Now I face cold barrels in my sleep, but I bite the heads off arrows with my teeth
I try to speak but I feel so weak, and the sound just crushed like leaves at my feet
Here I stand with a handful of dust - bloodstained, tainted holding dreams in my clutch
Damn frustrated with a means to erupt, cause I won't be corrupted by demons I meet..

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Elusive]
Who do I wanna be? What kind of emcee keeps on supplying the heat
When most other rappers just can't keep up? But they sure keep their eye on me
You can get hit with a flying iron, like I'm lying by Orion
With the force of an ion, I'm redefining by own irony
So what have I gotta do to prove I'm the sickest? Who is dropping a cluster?
And I go so ballistic, I will use every last bit of strength I can muster
Took some time just to adjust to, before I saw it all rupture
And I'll never stutter, every single syllable I spit in sequence - shit nah, I ain't tryna sound like Busta
But I'm gonna be the one to run away from it, and I ain't coming back till the end of all this
The descended fall, if you send the call, now I'm ready for my metamorphos-is
And I just wish, you could see that your shit is weak, but if I'm unique
Then tell me how does my rhyming technique always seem to be this flawless?
Going out of my mind with the lines when the timing is in, perfect sync
It's the evolution of revolution, but where's the missing link?
I know you can feel the heat, released beneath the beat
And I'm better incomplete, but I ain't ever gonna settle for defeat, like bitch fuck what you think..
[Hook]

[Bridge A: DMB]
Yeah, we don't give a fuck about what any of you bitches think..
Especially that faggot Ryan Seacrest..
As far as I'm concerned, your opinion means nothing..
Cause when I look around this industry right now..

[Bridge B: DMB]
All I see is demons..
*demonic laughter*
All I see is demons..
(All I see is demons..)
All I see is demons..
(Demons everywhere..)
All I see is demons..
(Welcome to my lair..)

[Bridge C: Elusive (w/ DMB)]
(All I see is demons..)
This is my decree
(All I see is demons..)
If I spit it hot, it ain't hard to see
(All I see is demons..)
But I ain't gonna lie, as I'm looking at the sky
(All I see is demons..)
Wondering why I've been left here alone, it's lonely..
When you have to fight, just to be free
(All I see is demons..)
I can see a light, guiding me through the sea
(All I see is demons..)
So I guess it must be time, I let you into my mind
(All I see is demons..)
See what we can find, as we begin, on this journey..
(All I, all I, all I see is..)
Cause I am just me..
(All I see is demons..) (Repeated till end)
[Hook x 2]
