Stand To The Side Lyrics - Quality - Talib Kweli

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

NEW SONG: Machine Gun Kelly - 'Candy' Lyrics feat. Trippie Redd 

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 

Photos 

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
