  • Did some movies and started missing this rap shit
    Back to rap then starting missing them movies
    Left these hoes to settle down with just one chick
    Get with one chick started missing them groupies
    Stop drinking for a year and I was all sober
    Next year I got drunk and did it all over
    Yesterday I quit smoking and swore I had enough
    Till I smelt it in the club and had to take a puff
    I got rich and learned life was a bitch
    Now everybody's after all of my ends
    (Get yo hand out my pocket!)
    When I was broke all love from my folks
    But nowadays I'm losing all of my friends, let the story begin

    The grass is always greener on the other side
    Always searching for another high
    The grass is always greener on the other side
    Caterpillar to a butterfly

    The grass is always greener on the other side
    Always searching for another high
    The grass is always greener on the other side
    Caterpillar to a butterfly

    Bye bye butterfly
    Fly away
    Bye bye butterfly
    Fly away

    Start exercising and winning got me a six pack
    Was eating healthy and did away with the junk
    Then I got lazy and started to wanna kick back
    My six pack reverted back to a gut
    When I'm at the crib I'm mad I'm not at the club lit
    When I'm at the club I'm mad I'm not at the crib
    I used to be out partying every damn night
    Now sometimes I'd rather be with my kids
    I got checks gained a lot of respect now everywhere I go they holla my name (Luda!)
    But sometimes wish that I was disguised for peace of mind over fortune and fame
    Guess what I'm really saying

    The grass is always greener on the other side
    Always searching for another high
    The grass is always greener on the other side
    Caterpillar to a butterfly

    The grass is always greener on the other side
    Always searching for another high
    The grass is always greener on the other side
    Caterpillar to a butterfly

    Bye bye butterfly
    Fly away
    Bye bye butterfly
    Fly away

    Last year got the Ferrari that I always wanted
    Drove it crazy got sick of it had to trade (Give me my Ac'!)
    All my fans convinced me to grow my hair back
    Grew it back then started missing my fade
    I got hits start trippin' I wasn't underground
    Got underground start trippin' I need hits (We outta here!)
    When you down and people give you the runaround
    But feels great to know who really gives a shit
    You cut the grass and the snakes will show
    And know your neighbor's fertilizer is fake (Don't let it fool ya!)
    We always searching what we never had
    Always ignoring what's in front of our face
    We've been conditioned to think

    The grass is always greener on the other side
    Always searching for another high
    The grass is always greener on the other side
    Caterpillar to a butterfly

    The grass is always greener on the other side
    Always searching for another high
    The grass is always greener on the other side
    Caterpillar to a butterfly

    Bye bye butterfly
    Fly away
    Bye bye butterfly
