Black Hand Side |
The great Pharoahe Monch, yo |
Yes, sir, what up, P? |
The great Styles P, the ghost |
One, two |
I say open the door and let me in |
Teach us all, preach ya sins |
Turn the cheek, let it slide |
Give me five on the black hand side |
The black hand side, oh |
The black hand side, oh |
The black hand side, oh |
Give me five on the black hand side (Give me five, brother) |
I’ll tell you what I see through the black man’s eyes (Look at me) |
Fly chick, in the Cadillac, a black man ride (Ride) |
But every different day, a different black man die (Damn) |
Shorty momma tripping off of crack, mad high (You know) |
Now he watching TV, loving the bad guy (You know) |
Piss-poor with a Welfare check, he know he African (Pssss) |
'Cause he ain’t get help there yet (No help) |
Now he put down his knapsack, got a crack pack |
You don’t overstand if your vision ain’t abstract |
(You don’t overstand) |
Me and the projects, a lot of us is lab rats |
Voted for Obama, hoping he wouldn’t have that |
(Don't have that, brother) |
Now I can tell you that I felt hell (I felt it) |
I still remember how a cell smell (I still remember the stench) |
I still remember how the pigs act |
Family crying up on the V.I., I couldn’t dig that |
Open the door and teach us all |
Pass a blunt around, hoping that it reach us all |
Now give me five on the black hand side (Give me five, bro) |
Ghost and Pharoahe Monch, watch the black man rise (Yep) |
I say open the door and let me in |
Teach us all, preach ya sins |
Turn the cheek, let it slide |
Give me five on the black hand side |
The black hand side, oh (Give me five, bruh, give me five) |
The black hand side (Give me five, bruh, give me five) |
The black hand side, oh |
Pharoahe’s a Navajo chief, the way I’m making it rain |
But never for a stripper with emotional pain |
You wouldn’t despite the system nourishment for the brain |
'Cause rain, sea plus soil equal fruits and grains |
My hood told a nigga: keep it simple and plain |
So let me explain the game |
Break it down a couple levels like Tetris |
These young’uns kill they own blood for a necklace (Gimme that) |
Leave slumped over the wheel of your Lexus |
Smoke kush, wake up and eat breakfast |
What the fuck he expect? |
A generation overly obsessed with mobsters |
Our revolutionaries won Grammys and Oscars |
Impostors, fake auras or weak chakras |
Makin' a mockery of the music to be pop stars |
And they say I’m insane |
Because I see the remains of the whips and the chains |
In my hood where it ain’t all good |
Peep the pain of a single mother, she struggling |
Young child slain, give me five on the black hand side |
Let’s maintain like it’s Soul Train |
And keep it movin' together, I’m saying |
I say open the door and let me in |
Teach us all, preach ya sins |
Turn the cheek, let it slide |
Give me five on the black hand side |
The black hand side, oh (Give me five, bruh, give me five) |
The black hand side (Give me five, bruh, give me five) |
The black hand side, oh |
Yeah, (Give me five, bruh, give me five) |
Styles P (Give me five, bruh, give me five) |
Uh-huh, Pharoahe Monch (Give me five, bruh, give me five) |
Yeah, uh-huh (Give me five, bruh, give me five) |
