Jidenna - The Other Half Lyrics

I came to hear Queen Mereba but Jidenna is talented as well.

This shit slaps 🔥🌍

Tim Maia 🔥

tim maia, um dos patronos da Soul music, junto de cassiano e Di Melo

I’m not feeling his music. He comes off as phony. He reps Africa. He needs to stay over there.

BRAZIIIIIIL

Amazing!

best song of the album

TIM MAIA VIVE! ❤

What a wonderful way to close an overall brilliant album n to feature the lovely St. Beauty
💯🔥

I love his music he actually talks about something that makes since💛👍

smoking weed and listening to jidenna

Wow, at :52!

David from Top Boy would be dope on this song

Beautiful ending for a great album

Does my other half exist.. 😑

One of my favorite songs on this album.... Peace and Love ... I enjoyed seeing it live as well.

Oh my word I love this song!!😱 What a masterpiece! And really like the collaboration with Mereba she’s so talented, as well as you!

the Tim Maia song that starts this one has a version in portuguese called 'Lamento'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4v3LW35akI

Tim Maia👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽®️

Nothing like crusing at the end of a long work day and just enjoying this song with the windows down and the warm sun gleaming on your face 😍

Whoever thumbs downd this...smdh🙈

😳😮 I must have just returned to earth, impossible. I was today years old learning bout this guy. He's talented asf, I listened to basically the whole album recently and it sure is going in my playlist. Love the musicality and the lyrics are meaningful he respects the Africa culture. I heard not so long a collab between him and K. Lamar Classic Man, this brutha is talented. Better late than never, since I cant get my greatest rap duo no more "OUTKAST" music still lives on thru new artists.

Yooo Mick Jenkins would slap on a remix of this. This shit is such a vibe and mick can come with the vibes for sure.

Much love from Ireland. legend in the makeing

Spit that fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🌋

can we talk about mereba’s part?

They want to say SAMURAI KINGS weren't compatiable. Commit genocide and then paint us like savages.

But our culture was centered around compassion and also gems

We were/are a system.

An amazing album

Every man deserves a woman
Every woman deserves a man
So, I'm about to ask
I have feel the strange vibration
And I had a lot of patience
But where is my other half?
Can somebody say? Can somebody tell?
I love her, will I love her?
Can't you hear my pray? Many many days
I've wondered, will I wonder?
I wonder why she left me
I wonder why she left me
(Bring it back)
I wonder why (yeah), I wonder why
I pray for my niggas surviving the pen'
Demons taking my friends
Boys pretending they're men
Bitch, don't fuck up my zen
My homie told me you violated a body
And shawty, that put me on ten
She beggin' me now to add it to the list
Of the feelings I gotta keep in
Ain't that the root of the drama?
How we just lock out the trauma
Fighting within, fighting without
Fighting, divide it and conquer
Like God didn't make us compatible
They wanted to turn us to animals
We lynching, that Willie Lynch manual
Real niggas are back from sabbatical (I wonder why)
Jaded on mental, it meant to us
The reason our family slipping up
'Cause our women won't submit to us
You let a bitch run a crib and us other men
Say it's the bitch in us
We dominate to overcompensate
Our bravado dripping with the cowardice
Our marching power feeling powerless
Like I gotta get my niggas outta this Hell
Outta this spell
From the pill, on the powder, fish scales
From a rapper with the loudest tip drills
We don't win with no amount of pistols
In a battle on the soul-ology
Fresh we got that kinda dough, properly
Where can niggas really own property?
Motherland be like our own prophecy
We can see eye to eye
They know it's by design
That in the dark we shine
And that's the bottom line
When we're together, we stay strong
But they don't want us to last long
We can see eye to eye
We can see eye to eye, yeah (bring it back)
Forgive me for the side I've shown
Can't control this other half here on my own, yeah (yeah)
I said forgive me for the side I've shown
Can't control this other half here on my own, yeah, yeah, yeah
Why she left me, shit got way too messy
Show my mask to the world
Show my worst to my bestie
You were like Jidenna
Got my Poppa temper
Don't fuck with my dinner
Touch it, and you die like
That's the rage in a age coming to a end
'Cause we must be greater men than we ever been
You know, you know we don't break, we bend
We resilient
They studying our genes
We the creme de la creme
We can see eye to eye
They know it's by design
That in the dark we shine
And that's the bottom line
When we're together, we stay strong
But they don't want us to last long
We can see eye to eye
We can see eye to eye, yeah
Forgive me for the side I've shown (oh yeah)
Can't control this other half here on my own, yeah (oh yeah)
I said forgive me for the side I've shown, yeah (oh yeah)
Can't control this other half here on my own, yeah, yeah, yeah
Inside your window, mmh
Inside your window
Remedies a part of you, inside of me
Don't forget shedding tears sitting on woman's knee
All we need's empathy and this recipe
Close your eyes, feel the shoes, could fit on your feet, yeah
I could see through, to the real you
Got the sharp side, like a hawk eye
I don't want your skin, but from within
Pharaoh in your eyes with the thick skin
Inside your window, ahh
Inside your window
But ain't it amazing?
That it's still love we're receiving
Oh, and we could fill up the spaces
Oh, and piece it all back to one
And it's amazing (oh it's amazing), oh
It's still love we're receiving
Yeah, and we could fill up the spaces
Oh, and piece it all back to one (piece it all back to one, mmh)
And it's amazing, whoa, it's still love we're receiving
Oh, and we could fill up the spaces
Oh, and piece it all back to one (piece it all back to one)
And it's amazing, mmh, no, no, and it's amazing (ohh)
And it's amazing, ahh, ahh

Thankyou 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Top 3 albums in 2019

The melody from 6:10 to the end is amazing!

This message is so powerful and the music is phenomenal. Wow. 👏

Absolute banger!!💯💯💯💯💯

I love this song Jidenna. The whole album really. But this song 🙌🏾

Sometimes I skip to 3:52 cuz it’s madd dope #insideyourwindooooow 😊

I just love him so much it just do something to soul everytime I listen to his music. I been trying to wake up my own people but they don't wanna listen 🤦‍♀️

Goddamn love the flow

This track is surely a chartbuster. It is a scam how this track or any of his songs in this album is not featuring in billboard charts yet. Atleast I know good music when I hear one.

I’m surprised no hear My Boo by DJ Ghost Town sample on here. 😂

I thought I was the only one!!!

I just love this album..it so good!!!

This entireeee album mannnnn.

TIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMM MAIAAAAAAAAAA

We can sea, eye two eye!

The Diaspora is strong!!!!

The transition in this track tho .. Jidenna you knew what you were doing ❤

I really love Jidenna cause he represents Africa wherever he goes. Proud Africans 🌍#Ghanaian 🇬🇭.

To anyone wondering, Jidenna sampled this from Tim Maia's "Where is My Other Half", he was the greatest brazilian soul singer to exist. I encourage you all to check some of his other songs out:
Eu Amo Voce
Ela Partiu
Me Dê Motivo
Que Beleza

Thanks for the info. I know Brazil has more external Nigerians outside of Nigeria, maybe its that connection I wonder.

Tim maia grande artista brasileiro! Sample muito bom! Ótimo som!
Algumas outras músicas do Tim que eu também curto pra quem quer pesquisar:
Lamento
Réu Confesso
Telefone
Bom Senso
[...]

Vai Brasil,kkkk. Esse álbum do Jidenna faz várias referências à cultura brasileira e isso é bem legal.

Thank you!! Will check him out right after this song.

Thank you

This is beautiful, man. As a brazilian, seeing a non-brazilian singer sample one of Tim Maia's most iconic songs brings joy to my heart.

Fooooooddddaaaaaaaaaaaaa

@Tiffany Pollard .. no, i wanted to spread the Word of Jesus.. blessings to you and all

This dude is talented 🔥. I feel like this album is going to give a lot of life to the listeners.

I like the 1970s soul / funk vibe here. I just feel Jidenna sounds too much like Drake here.

Ahk Thawadah this album is a Classic Mane 😝 Barrack Atha Yahuah. Shalom

What a GEM! Thank you Jidenna!

This track would slap different when you’re high 😍🗣

nubianxobabe it really does though this song is dope

I can confirm. I was high when I listened to this whole album and this song stood out the most. That intro had me hooked then the beat dropped and I was like "ooouuuuuu shit 🔥" bring em back!

@TrizollinTehWorld when the beat dropped I was driving... The weather recently switched to fall Yellow leaves were Falling off the trees in slow motion... I swear I went back to that beat drop like 10x... And I had already listened to this album multiple times through...
