| Go right to left, left to right
|
| Middle passage connection
|
| Yeah, about to build
|
| Tell you which way to go
|
| We go right to left, left to right
|
| If you fight to the death, what’s left to fight
|
| We go right to left, left to right
|
| If you fight to the death, what’s left to fight
|
| We go right to left, left to right
|
| If you fight to the death, what’s left to fight
|
| We go right to left, left to right
|
| If you fight to the death, yo, here we go
|
| I wanna write away, I wanna write here
|
| I wanna write brave words to fight fear, write dreams and nightmares
|
| Might scare the folks stuck in the day with nothin' to say
|
| While I’m way ahead by light years so beware and keep the lights on
|
| I wanna write the songs that right the wrong, right on
|
| Ridin' the light so you see in the dark
|
| So deep you gotta be still like your beatin' heart
|
| My words apply the pressure to make the bleedin' stop
|
| I see the art of livin' right, eatin' smart
|
| I wanna right to life, a right to death
|
| Police read your rights from right to left
|
| But I never write to remain silent, I fight through police line
|
| Cops walk the beat that I write to, I teach minds
|
| Write rhymes with the right sound
|
| Right now, journalists write up, I write down
|
| Party people put a hand in the sky
|
| Grab a cloud and squeeze 'til no man is dry
|
| Wet it up, go ask the people if they plannin' to die
|
| Can’t stay to live, consumers is plannin' to buy
|
| Slow death operators is standin' by
|
| They take you order for the slaughter of the family, why?
|
| Do they make it so hard for a man to provide
|
| You better get wit it, or stand to the side
|
| Stand to the side, stand to the side
|
| You better get wit it, or stand to the side
|
| Stand to the side, stand to the side
|
| You better get wit it, or stand to the side
|
| And the story line goes on, right to left, who’s right who’s wrong
|
| Fuck the politics and pride, I just to try to stay alive
|
| To witness where the battle lines are drawn
|
| Speak my mind and I sing my song
|
| I’m passin' on the moral y’all, this is ain’t play
|
| True, you got to know the way, it’s hard now
|
| Open eyes, see for hopeful lives, sing it now
|
| Makin' my way through life, talkin' to elders and takin' advice
|
| Ignorin' their words and payin' the price
|
| Livin' in the world where false preachers got us prayin' to Christ
|
| Get with the young girls in the choir and layin' the pipe
|
| No control of our soul we all wait at the light
|
| So comfortable they we hatin' to fight to make it right
|
| Late at night I’m controlled by the DJ on the mic
|
| I love hiphop and every joint he playin' is tight
|
| A day in the life is a brick in the foundation, I’m like
|
| A mason in Egypt, amazin' when I’m creatin' a site
|
| For the world to behold and the story to last
|
| So one day ghetto children can visit their glorious past
|
| After Pac and Notorious passed, what do we have?
|
| Niggas worth more when they dead, it’s so sad
|
| Started with the slavery we finish the plan
|
| But I broke the cycle and became a man
|
| Party people put a hand in the sky
|
| Grab a cloud and squeeze 'till no man is dry
|
| Wet it up, go ask the people if they plannin' to die
|
| Can’t stay to live, consumers is plannin' to buy
|
| Slow death operators is standin' by
|
| They take you order for the slaughter of the family, why?
|
| Do they make it so hard for a man to provide
|
| You better get wit it, or stand to the side
|
| Stand to the side, stand to the side
|
| You better get wit it, or stand to the side
|
| Stand to the side, stand to the side
|
| You better get wit it, or stand to the side
|
| Come on
|
| I got my man Savion in the house
|
| We about to put it down
|
| Here we go, come on
|
| Stand to the side
|
| Stand to the side
|
| Stand to the side
|
| Stand to the side
|
| Stand to the side
|
| Stand to the side
|
| Stand to the side
|
| Stand to the side |
