There are two sides to every story
Two versions of every history
One dark
One light
One wrong 
One right
One up
One upside down
One short
One long
Both somewhat right
Both somewhat wrong
It depends on the perspective
Of the narrator
And the mindset of the listener
Penny for a pound
A pound for meager pence
Everything and nothing
Does and doesn't make sense
Which is illusion?
Which is skillful confusion?
Which is deliberate pollusion?
Which is side holds collusion?
Which is a real solution?
Which way lies the best decision?

Two sides to every story
A one Montserratian me be
Well not exactly
If you factor in Galaexy
But, 
I'm still listening to everybody
Gotta know
What's up with so and so?
Why and who's on the down low
Who's fooling you?
Who's fooling who?
Right now de truth nar exactly glisten
So boy, me a ask and a listen

Never saw the “creator” fiasco
That was a second hand nutshell flow
The ghost was in the dark on his knees
The activity buzzing like African bees
I saw foe
I saw a friend
Must've been way, way back when
As the cold hunt-her 
With the notepad
That bitchy female slayer 
Explained the long metallic cylinder
The sins of the transgressors
Watching the escaping easy riders
Fleeing the exterminators
Celestial bridges flare and burn
Guess they didn't want to “return”
Cuz I heard her say
A lotta snakes they got away
But,
No old monkeys on my back
I am, always have been a solitary MaC
My damn bizniz, what's inside my pack

AK You
AK Me
How will it end this complicated story?
So far we have already flown
Yet so much lies inside the unknown
Within the pages of whose book
How can I not crave that look?
If you've shown your final hand
Beneath this alien yellow sun
AK You, I understand
I won't leave you stranded so
Things to do before wings can grow
Perhaps we can solve the puzzle before
Time closes that contaminated door
AK you
Someday I
Will have to fly
Where exactly is not clear
But I am not coming back here

And at the risk of sounding redundant
Two sides to every story
One part you
One part me
Two sides… 

Fascinatingly
