Both Sides Forest Blakk (Ft. Kamilah Marshall)

[Verse 1 - Forest, Kamilah & Both]
I would say it was 1999, or maybe 1998
And as fate would have it
Not a buck short or a moment too late
A mother and her child sat side by side
With the sun still on their side
And a moment of silence was all it took
For a voice to echo from the front of the bus
To the insides of their ears and hearts
"The seat right there, next to the... ni-" (shh)
Do I have your attention?

[Verse 2 - Forest, Kamilah & Both]
Or am I just stoking the fire?
Pointing fingers and bridges burning
While fingers point at burning bridges on which we all stand
"Go back to where you camе from"
"Haha, where? Right herе?"
Tag, you're it (tick tock, tick tock)
We're losing time, but I'll follow you if you follow me
Do I have your attention?

[Verse 3 - Forest, Kamilah & Both]
Imagine a camera panning over every face, every race
Dreams, fears, hope, suffering, pain
Are we not all the same?
So, why are we so divided?
We can be one, if you choose to see it from both sides
And I've finally realised through these real eyes
That these lines drawn in the sand only stand to divide us
And what was always meant to be together
Like my mother always said
"Do I have your attention?"
