Stand To The Side - Talib Kweli[00:00:01]

Go right to left left to right[00:00:04]

Middle passage connection[00:00:10]

Yeah about to build[00:00:15]

Tell you which way to go[00:00:22]

We go right to left left to right[00:00:24]

If you fight to the death [00:00:26]

What's left to fight We go right to left left to right[00:00:27]

If you fight to the death [00:00:31]

What's left to fight We go right to left left to right[00:00:32]

If you fight to the death[00:00:36]

What's left to fight[00:00:37]

If you fight to the death [00:00:39]

What's left to fight[00:00:42]

Yo here we go[00:00:43]

I wanna write away[00:01:04]

I wanna write here[00:01:05]

I wanna write brave words to fight fear[00:01:06]

Write dreams and nightmares[00:01:08]

Might scare the folks stuck in the day[00:01:09]

But nothing to say [00:01:11]

Well I'm way ahead by light years[00:01:12]

So beware we keep the lights on[00:01:14]

I wanna write the songs from right to wrong[00:01:16]

Right on[00:01:18]

Riding the light so you see in the dark[00:01:19]

So deep you gotta be still[00:01:21]

Like your beating heart[00:01:22]

My words apply the pressure[00:01:23]

To make the bleeding stop[00:01:24]

See the art living right eating smart[00:01:26]

I wanna right to life a right to death[00:01:28]

Police read your rights from right to left[00:01:30]

But I never write to remain silent[00:01:33]

I fight through police line[00:01:35]

Cops walk the beat that I write to[00:01:36]

I teach minds write rhymes with the right sound[00:01:38]

Right now journalists write up[00:01:41]

I write down[00:01:42]

Party people put a hand in the sky[00:01:43]

Grab a cloud and squeeze til no man is dry[00:01:45]

We wet it up go ask the people[00:01:47]

If they plannin to die[00:01:49]

Can't stay to live [00:01:50]

Consumers is plannin to buy[00:01:51]

Smoke death operators is standing by[00:01:52]

They take you order for[00:01:54]

The slaughter of the family why[00:01:56]

Do they make it so hard[00:01:57]

For a man to provide[00:01:58]

You better get wit it [00:02:00]

Or stand to the side[00:02:02]

And the story line goes on[00:02:23]

Right to left who's right who's wrong[00:02:25]

F**k the politics and pride[00:02:28]

I just to try to stay alive[00:02:30]

To witness where the battle lines are drawn[00:02:32]

Speak my mind and sing my song[00:02:35]

I'm passin on the moral y'all[00:02:38]

This is ain't play[00:02:41]

True you got to know the way[00:02:44]

It's hard now[00:02:46]

Open eyes[00:02:51]

See hopeful lives[00:02:53]

Sing it now[00:02:56]

Making my way through life[00:02:58]

Talking to elders and taking advice[00:03:23]

Ignoring their words and paying the price[00:03:25]

Living in the world where false[00:03:26]

Preachers got us praying to christ[00:03:28]

Get with the young girls[00:03:29]

In the choir and laying the pipe[00:03:30]

No control of our soul[00:03:32]

We all wait at the light[00:03:33]

So comfortable they[00:03:34]

We hating to fight to make it right[00:03:35]

Late at night I'm controlled[00:03:37]

By the DJ on the mic[00:03:38]

I love hip-hop and every joint[00:03:39]

He playing is tight[00:03:41]

A day in the life is a brick[00:03:42]

In the foundation of like[00:03:43]

A mason in Egypt amazing[00:03:45]

When I'm creating a site[00:03:46]

For the world to behold and the story to last[00:03:47]

So one day ghetto children[00:03:49]

Can visit their glorious past[00:03:50]

After Pac and Notorious passed [00:03:52]

What do we have [00:03:53]

Niggas worth more when they dead it's so sad[00:03:54]

Started with the slavery we finish the plan[00:03:57]

But I broke the cycle and became a man[00:03:59]

Party people put a hand in the sky[00:04:01]

Grab a cloud and squeeze til no man is dry[00:04:03]

We wet it up go ask the people if they plannin to die[00:04:06]

Can't stay to live consumers is plannin to buy[00:04:08]

Smoke death operators is standing by[00:04:11]

They take you order for the slaughter of the family why[00:04:13]

Do they make it so hard for a man to provide[00:04:15]

You better get wit it or stand to the side[00:04:19]
