1
Go right to left, left to right
2
Middle passage connection
3
Yeah, about to build
4
Tell you which way to go
5
We go right to left, left to right
6
If you fight to the death, what's left to fight
7
Yo, here we go
8
I want to write away
9
I want to write here
10
I want to write brave words to fight fear
11
Write dreams and nightmares
12
Might scare the folks stuck in the day
13
But nothing to say
14
Well I'm way ahead by light years
15
So beware we keep the lights on
16
I want to write the songs from right to wrong
17
Right on
18
Riding the light so you see in the dark
19
So deep you gotta be still like your beating heart
20
My words apply the pressure to make the bleeding stop
21
See the art, living right, eating smart
22
I want to right to life, a right to death
23
Police read your rights from right to left
24
But I never write to remain silent
25
I fight through police line
26
Cops walk the beat that I write to
27
I teach minds, write rhymes with the right sound
28
Right now, journalists write up
29
I write down
30
Party people put a hand in the sky
31
Grab a cloud and squeeze til no man is dry
32
We wet it up, go ask the people if they plannin to die
33
Can't stay to live, consumers is plannin to buy
34
Smoke death operators is standing by
35
They take you order for the slaughter of the family why
36
Do they make it so hard for a man to provide
37
You better get wit it, or stand to the side
38
And the story line goes on
39
Right to left, who's right who's wrong
40
Fuck the politics and pride
41
I just to try to stay alive
42
To witness where the battle lines are drawn
43
Speak my mind and sing my song
44
I'm passin on the moral y'all
45
This is ain't play
46
True, you got to know the way
47
It's hard now
48
Open eyes
49
See hopeful lives
50
Sing it now
51
Making my way through life
52
Talking to elders and taking advice
53
Ignoring their words and paying the price
54
Living in the world where false preachers got us praying to Christ
55
Get with the young girls in the choir and laying the pipe
56
No control of our soul we all wait at the light
57
So comfortable they we hating to fight to make it right
58
Late at night I'm controlled by the DJ on the mic
59
I love hip-hop and every joint he playing is tight
60
A day in the life is a brick in the foundation of like
61
A maze in Egypt amazing when I'm creating a sight
62
For the world to behold and the story to last
63
So one day ghetto children can visit their glorious past
64
After Pac and Notorious past what do we have
65
Niggas worth more when they dead, it's so sad
66
Started with the slavery we finish the plan
67
But I broke the cycle, and became a man
68
Party people put a hand in the sky
69
Grab a cloud and squeeze til no man is dry
70
We wet it up, go ask the people if they plannin to die
71
Can't stay to live, consumers is plannin to buy
72
Smoke death operators is standing by
73
They take you order for the slaughter of the family why
74
Do they make it so hard for a man to provide
75
You better get wit it, or stand to the side
76
Come on
77
I got my man Savion in the house
78
We about to put it down
79
Here we go
