Vinia Mojica - Stand to the Side lyrics

[Intro: Talib Kweli] Go right to left, left to right Middle pa**age connection Yeah, about to build Tell you which way to go [Talib Kweli & Vinia Mojica] We go right to left, left to right If you fight to the d**h, what's left to fight We go right to left, left to right If you fight to the d**h, what's left to fight We go right to left, left to right If you fight to the d**h, what's left to fight We go right to left, left to right If you fight to the d**h, yo, here we go [Talib Kweli] 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 d**h 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 [Hook: Talib Kweli & Vinia Mojica] 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 d**h 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 [Vinia Mojica] And the story line goes on, right to left, who's right who's wrong f** 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 pa**in' 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 [Talib Kweli] 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 pa**ed, what do we have? n***as 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 [Hook: Talib Kweli & Vinia Mojica] 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 d**h 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 [Outro: Talib Kweli] 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
