Tef Poe - Which Side Are You On lyrics

[Intro] Which side are you on, friend? Which side are you on? Which side are you on, friend? Which side are you on? Justice for Mike Brown, justice for us all Justice for Mike Brown, justice for us all (He was a thug) [Hook 1] Which side are you on, boy? The silence is unappreciated Which side are you on, my lord? I'mma go ahead and take that as disrespect Which side are you on, boy? Silence is d**h, yes Which side are you on, my lord? Get off the fence son Get off the bench son Which side are you on, boy? Who will stand to defend us? Which side are you on, my lord? If you ain't with us, you against us [Verse 1: Talib Kweli] We drawing a line in the sand You with us or against us? Gotta decide where you stand There's an angel and a demon inside of every man It's completely up to you, who getting the upper hand? I make my music for the people Survival guide the ruthless, be confusing it with evil When I say "the people" I don't just mean the ones that agree with me I'm on the side of the people regardless of who they seem to be following [Hook 2] Which side are you on, boy? Get off the fence son Which side are you on, my lord Get off the bench son Which side are you on, boy? Who will stand to defend us? Which side are you on, my lord If you ain't with us, you against us Which side are you on, boy? Get off the fence son Which side are you on, my lord Get off the bench son Which side are you on, boy? Who will stand to defend us? Which side are you on, my lord If you ain't with us, you against us [Verse 2: Talib Kweli] Ain't none of these d**hs making sense Nothing is sacred when you suffering to pay your rent Celebrities be making money off the powerless They silence in the face of injustice is just cowardice I roll with a crew that ain't never scared of the challenges We don't wait for the tragedies, freedom is the catalyst We don't call in the cavalry, we the leaders we waiting on You standing up for justice, then trust us, this is your favorite song They want us caught up in more legal drama than Law & Order In the streets police is on trial and rappers is the court reporters You won't be more then one of the lambs they fattening up for the slaughter If you don't pull your weight [?] for our daughters How a kid without a gun become a threat to cops When they let off shots, hoping that his head will pop and that his breath will stop? Gotta be satisfied with waiting until we get the verdict It's just perverted, no justice for the family of the kid they murdered [Bridge: Kendra Ross] Today, today, who you gonna be? Who you rollin' with? Quit your stalling, all or nothing Which side are you on? Today, today, who you gonna be? Who you rollin' with? Pick your poison Which side are you on? [Verse 3: Tef Poe] Gold choppers, [?] match my eyes if they road block us Martin on my arm, but the struggle made me more Malcolm Demon in the smoke, kush burnin' like Ferguson f** Obama and Don Lemon n***a, the nerve of them CNN, CNN but they ain't seein' him Tears of the tear gas, tears of the Elohim POE the priest, hit a pig with a prison shank God got me, copy? I ain't scared of a f**in' tank Glorious struggle, shout out my brother [Troy Russell?] [?] don't put a bullet hole in my spleen [?] in my dreams Don't k** me for that line, conceal me or flat lines I don't believe in no laws, I don't believe in your God It's your block for my black freedom, put a car bomb in your heart Black child, ain't no love in this b**h Feed your seed and get your chopper like the government did P-O-E [Hook 2] Which side are you on, boy? Get off the fence son Which side are you on, my lord Get off the bench son Which side are you on, boy? Who will stand to defend us? Which side are you on, my lord If you ain't with us, you against us Which side are you on, boy? Get off the fence son Which side are you on, my lord Get off the bench son Which side are you on, boy? Who will stand to defend us? Which side are you on, my lord If you ain't with us, you against us [Outro] Mike Brown Eric Garner Tamir Rice John Crawford Kajieme Powell Antonio Martin And that's just last year son
