Тексты песен Talib Kweli

Текст песни "Stand To The Side"


[Kweli]
Go right to left, left to right
Middle passage connection
Yeah, about to build
Tell you which way to go

[Both]
We go right to left, left to right
If you fight to the death, what's left to
fight
X4
Yo, here we go

[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
But nothing to say,
Well I'm way ahead by light years
So beware we keep the lights on
I wanna write the songs from right to
wrong
Right on
Riding the light so you see in the dark
So deep you gotta be still like your
beating heart
My words apply the pressure to make
the bleeding stop
See the art, living right, eating 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

[Both] :Chorus
Party people put a hand in the sky
Grab a cloud and squeeze til no man
is dry
We wet it up, go ask the people if
they plannin to die
Can't stay to live, consumers is
plannin to buy
Smoke death operators is standing 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 X7}

[Vinia Mojica]
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 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 hopeful lives
Sing it now

[Kweli]
Making my way through life
Talking to elders and taking advice
Ignoring their words and paying the
price
Living in the world where false
preachers got us praying to christ
Get with the young girls in the choir
and laying the pipe
No control of our soul we all wait at
the light
So comfortable they we hating to fight
to make it right
Late at night I'm controlled by the DJ
on the mic
I love hip-hop and every joint he
playing is tight
A day in the life is a brick in the
foundation of like
A maze in Egypt amazing when I'm
creating a sight
For the world to behold and the story
to last
So one day ghetto children can visit
their glorious past
After Pac and Notorious past 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

[Both] : Chorus

[Kweli]
Come on,
I got my man Savion in the house
We about to put it down
Here we go

(Savion Glover tap dances)
