| [00:07.556] |
I remember - Lord, have mercy... |
| [00:12.587] |
Mama said |
| [00:14.395] |
As far back as I can remember |
| [00:17.152] |
Heaven was just a place |
| [00:20.183] |
Mama used to talk about, yes she did |
| [00:27.222] |
A billow of clouds, a true paradise |
| [00:30.574] |
Hundreds of angels to care |
| [00:33.095] |
For all the good people there |
| [00:40.051] |
A far off place, I was led to believe |
| [00:43.199] |
Another life, with beauty sublime |
| [00:48.796] |
"Just stay on the good side of things, my son |
| [00:54.447] |
And you'll get there in good time" |
| [00:57.288] |
Lord, that's what my mama said |
| [01:00.353] |
Heh, she used to talk to me |
| [01:04.333] |
Lord, have mercy... mama |
| [01:08.970] |
Now that my childhood in ended |
| [01:11.889] |
I find a lot of things |
| [01:15.284] |
Mama said have come to pass, yeah yeah yeah |
| [01:21.526] |
Hardship and pain, a lot of sacrifice |
| [01:24.761] |
Finding true happiness |
| [01:27.182] |
Is not a very easy task |
| [01:30.623] |
No, no it ain't... said it's hard sometimes |
| [01:34.175] |
But on I trudge with my pledge, do or die |
| [01:36.980] |
And my Mama's words still fresh in my mind |
| [01:43.770] |
"Oh, stay on the good side of things, my son |
| [01:47.616] |
Oh, and you'll get there in good time" |
| [01:52.276] |
Just, just alright... |
| [01:55.016] |
Take it easy, son, heh! |
| [01:58.217] |
Mama talked a lot, you know |
| [02:02.689] |
Now I'm at the age of maturity |
| [02:05.959] |
I've got my very own philosophy |
| [02:08.926] |
That of which I'm sure some will disagree |
| [02:11.805] |
But I feel that Heaven's wherever you want it to be |
| [02:17.363] |
Oh, I've got my bearing and I've made a stance |
| [02:21.278] |
That mean old Devil won't stand a chance |
| [02:24.608] |
'Cause I've got Mama's words in mind... |
| [02:29.779] |
"Oh, the good side, my son |
| [02:34.191] |
And you'll get there in good time" |
| [02:37.533] |
Lord, have mercy! But it's alright |
| [02:41.309] |
Hey, good God... yes, I did good |
| [02:47.053] |
Mama used to say, the good side |
| [02:51.186] |
(Stay on the good side) stay on the good side |
| [02:53.156] |
(Stay on the good side) Mama told me |
| [02:54.295] |
Stay on the good side, son (stay on the good side) |
| [02:57.671] |
Good side, oh! (stay on the good side) |
| [02:59.884] |
Just stay on the good side (stay on the good side) |
| [03:03.815] |
The good side (stay on the good side) |
| [03:06.504] |
Don't you go on the bad side (stay on the good side) |
| [03:09.201] |
Just stay on the good side (stay on the good side) |
| [03:12.462] |
Gotta stay on the good side (stay on the good side) |
| [03:14.750] |
Just stay on the good side (stay on the good side) |
| [03:20.527] |
Just stay on the good side of things (stay on the good side) |
| [03:21.940] |
Gotta stay on the good side... |
