All these miles run and rivers traversed
Mountains crossed, dizzying heights, to the depths of oceans submersed
We're well versed in the ways of how to give and to take
Sometimes the ball don't bounce, but sometimes stuff don't break
Like you was falsely accused, but now ain't we amused
Cause for every winner, we know somebody gotta lose
Now ain't that a clever ruse, bounce like kangaroos
The anger brews and simmers as your chances grow slimmer
But as the light grows dimmer on the opposite end
Dawn is steady breaking, yes there's people on the mend
And lets pretend, we could deal in hypotheticals
Two sides to every story, what makes life so incredible
Set a full series of events in motion, explosion
Consequences of mixing up the potion
You can close yourself in or you can join us on the ride
Cause if you don't like the single you can check the b-side
Cause there's always two sides...
(scratched - "two sides to every story" - mos def)
As situations arise, surprises abound
Around every corner more than you can handle are found
Some good, some bad, some we'll have to wait and see
Some the jurys still out, some they threw away the key
Like for every story, there's two sides to consider
Every victory means a defeat that's a bitter -
Pill to swallow although, you needn't wallow in the muck
Or flip a coin and let it ride on lady luck
How you felt so confined, but how do we define
Freedom if it ain't free, now that's the design
Now that you've seen the sign, there's a fork in the road
You can divert from the path or you can add to the load
I speak in code languages, for those who languish
Cause leisure reflects the other side's pain and anguish
Ain't it the time to stand up and be counted
Its a trapeze act, but we need to try to balance
Two sides...
