“Other Side was created in loving memory of Jason Cortez. In addition to assuming the roles of film director, screenwriter, photographer, Twitch streamer, and music enthusiast, Jason is a husband, brother, son, and best friend to people of all walks of life. For so many people at once, he was an advocate, a cheerleader, and a mentor. Although his life was taken from him, he lives on through the hearts of those who remember him.” -Scream Geronimo

Verse 1

Feel like my energy waning I can't even explain it

Come with me to the cemetery to see where the pain is

Hard to describe it as draining, the tears are limitless

Images on my mind are too vivid to frame

Life is but a game until you hitting your homies tellin the news

And they don't even register what you tell 'em, they need the proof

Like maybe his phone is dead or maybe they was confused

Until the reporter breaking the story, that lit the fuse for me

It took the weight of your body to make it true for me

I guess seeing meant believing the verdict was final

But even then I looked around expecting your arrival

Cause you been around for everything, your presence was vital

And then I think about the medic that checked for your vitals

There's not a thing I wouldn't give to request your revival

Then I get angry as the rest of the cycle progresses

Then I remember not to let all the energy spiral

The lesson is your memory is a bridge

Connecting me to my bro, suppress it I never did

I know the pain is a testament to the kid

And everything that he gave, he forever lives

Hook

I wonder if the raindrops falling from the sky

Ever feel afraid as they plummet through time

I wonder what awaits us, but I won't cry

Till the day I see the gates, see you on the other side

I'll be okay cause I got an angel guiding my way

From the other side

Heavy is the weight, Imma carry that thing till I'm taking my place

On the other side

[Repeat]

Verse 2

Man behind the lens... Back in high school

Was never seen without the camera, you were fantasizing then

Championing your homies, you would pass the time with them

Such a mastermind but had the time to stand behind your friends

I see his face in every battle I was in

Only metric that had mattered was I had to see him grin

But the stand out character was him

Would I'd do to hear em laughing once again

Said I know you thanking the academy, what an immaculate role

With a heart crafted in gold, they done shattered the mold

If ever critics came after the bro

Yeah they could point and they could shoot but can't capture your soul

Yeah... If ever critics came after the bro

They could never ever capture your soul

Even though I feel the pain, I know my bro headed home

Though he's on another plane, I should never feel alone

Send a message to my bro, out of everything you wrote

Know the life you led is the greatest story ever told

Even when I feel the pain, I know my bro's headed home

Though he's on another plane, I don't ever feel alone

Send a message to my bro, out of everything you wrote

Know the life you lead is the greatest story ever told

And Imma let em know

[Hook]
