Bright Side Lyrics by IAMe

Lame

2011

[Verse 1: IAME]
Everything to lose and nothing to gain
Except a little loot, the fans, and the fame
Success can come with time
But I'm already the richest man alive
But this can only be realized when I'm not working
Better yet, not grinding
When I'm not paying what they want of unleaded
When I'm not driving across town, late, hitting every stop light
It's rush hour (and there's road construction) this city's not right
But it's the system, the wages that I make
The paper that I chase that preoccupies me
It's why I'm always late
I mean, what's a deadline
When we'll all be dead lying in the ground someday
Somehow, someway
There's six million to choose from for those who gonna choose
The rest still gonna lose 'em
(If I had to choose) I'd rather let it surprise me

[Hook: IAME + Smoke M2D6]
We win some, we lose some
(There's a bright side inside of me)
We lose some and then some
I'm trying to let it all out
But darkness surrounds the hearts of the crowd
I hesitate to put my head to the crown
We win some, we lose some
(There's a bright side inside of me)
We lose some and then some
I'm trying to let it all out
But darkness abounds in the hearts of the crowd
I refuse to put my head in the ground

[Verse 2: Smoke M2D6]
I'm trying to make sense out of the senseless, sickness
Gone viral, violent, psycho, viscous
So malnourished, intense, sadistic
Thirst, lust left love in a puddle of blood
Blank looks, kinda suspicious
Need more data from souls
Love related ain't related enough
Plus this bubble's inflated, fit in the bus
Crushed, paradigm shift
Must maintain in the face of deceit
Defeat demons, deplete heathens or humans of hate
It takes a nation of millions to make resources deflate
Innate, the composition is state of mind
There's the blizzard in my belly and barely embedded in bass
In reality, makeshift made of my side instead of maze
And our tendency to Dance Dance Revolution to the grave
Getting down to the meltdown, fanning the blaze

[Hook: IAME + Smoke M2D6]
We win some, we lose some
(There's a bright side inside of me)
We lose some and then some
I'm trying to let it all out
But darkness surrounds the hearts of the crowd
I hesitate to put my head to the crown
We win some, we lose some
(There's a bright side inside of me)
We lose some and then some
I'm trying to let it all out
But darkness abounds in the hearts of the crowd
I refuse to put my head in the ground

[Verse 3: IAME + Smoke M2D6]
I meditate, try to remove myself
But there's too much at stake for me to lose myself completely
And I ain't scared to die
I know what'll hurt most is having to sever ties
And I hate to say goodbyes
I hate the handshakes, the daps, and hugs as time passes us by
But death is a right of passage
One day we all let go of our grasp and lose ourselves completely
Hard in the situation, it's part of the hesitation
[?] blooming and booming from the basement, taste it
Life's hatred watered down with science, matrix
God is love and love is life, Amadeus
But y'all only listen to Drake
Chalk it up to one of many mistakes and let it break what ya
Build in vein on temporary terrain
Not afraid to leave, but too terrified to stay

[Hook: IAME + Smoke M2D6]
We win some, we lose some
(There's a bright side inside of me)
We lose some and then some
I'm trying to let it all out
But darkness surrounds the hearts of the crowd
I hesitate to put my head to the crown
We win some, we lose some
(There's a bright side inside of me)
We lose some and then some
I'm trying to let it all out
But darkness abounds in the hearts of the crowd
I refuse to put my head in the ground
(There's a bright side inside of me)
I'm trying to let it all out
But darkness surrounds the hearts of the crowd
I hesitate to put my head to the crown
(There's a bright side inside of me)
I'm trying to let it all out
But darkness abounds in the hearts of the crowd
I refuse to put my head in the ground
