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