The Other Side (Tiny Desk) Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
I sit alone in my room thinkin' how I'ma get out
I go to work at a job I don't care nothin' about
My rent is due later, only got half to pay up
I never can save up, think I've run out of favors

[Pre-Chorus]
I'ma move to Atlanta
I'ma find me a rapper
He gon' buy me a booty
Let me star in the movie
I'ma keep up my fitness
I'ma start me a business
And I'll never be broke again
Strugglin', God as my witness

[Chorus]
Cause I Can't wait to be rich, want a better life
Diamonds, cars and trips, all money can buy
I just wanna live on the other side
(Oh, I just wanna) I just wanna live on the other side
[Verse 2]
I'm meetin' up with my girls and lookin' like a Barbie
We heard about a new club where all the ballers party
I'm hoping these titties can get me out the city
I know I'm too pretty to not do nothing with it

[Pre-Chorus]
(Fuck a day job)
So I'ma move to Atlanta
(Want a big house in the suburbs)
I'ma find me a rapper
(With a pool in the back)
He gon' buy me a booty
(Get my ass done, fat transfer)
Let me star in the movie
(Go to parties every week)
I'ma keep up my fitness
(Gucci's on my feet)
I'ma start me a business
(Get 'em when they drop, fuck a boycott)
And I'll never be broke again
Strugglin', God as my witness

[Chorus]
Can't wait to be rich, want a better life
Diamonds, cars and trips, all money can buy (Yeah, I just wanna live)
I just wanna live on the other side (Wanna live, oh)
I just wanna live on the other side
[Bridge]
See I got dreams (dreams)
To buy expensive things (things)
And I know that he's out there
So where's my millionaire
Yeah, I've got dreams (dreams)
To buy expensive things (Things)
And I know he's somewhere near
So where's my millionaire

[Verse 3]
I just wanna be taken care of
'Cause I worked enough, commas over love
I just wanna lay back, spend my baby money in his Maybach
I deserve that life
(I'ma be) Be a damn good housewife
(I'ma be) Two kids from a surrogate
Fly mama, I'ma stay fit, get a facelift
Soccer mom, gettin' wasted (Wasted)
Trey songs on my playlist (Playlist)
Bora Bora for vacation
I'll be anything but basic

(Where is my millionaire)
On the other side
(Where is my millionaire)
On the other side
(Where is my millionaire)
On the other side
(Where is my millionaire)
On the other side
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
