Lyrics

Humanity's on the brink of insanity
I put it on wax, they oppose my profanity
My lyrical ability is songs of hostility
As Jimmy the Greek speaks, I'll keep flowing steadily
On the opposite side, a scene is set
Said don't say but "fuck it", I'm Hardhead
What's said is done, what's done is said
Would it make a difference if they brought us over on a jet?
Despite the perils, and our men are going sterile
And every thirty seconds there's another black burial
I stand on a side without a flag
On every corner a fag, five outta ten are black drags
Thoughts I think often
Sometimes, I feel my kids will be orphans
I hate to think so
Or will my wife finish life as a widow?
Justice is just us, history is his story
Equality even today is just story
Who will enlighten me instead of inviting me
To places without a gun I feel would frighten me?
But I ain't surprised
'Cause I'm on the opposite side
Pale faces on the paper of currency
Which makes my side live comfortably in poverty
Why not my face on a hundred dollar bill?
The thought of such a bill would kill Capitol Hill
A ****'s spiritual song we still sing
First get a dial tone if you want freedom to ring
There's another hell but this one's on earth
Like twelve-year-old Nina wearing her up the butt mini skirt
I called a caucasian cop a bitch
'Cause I saw his disease, an incurable trigger itch
But he said it didn't matter 'cause I was poor, he was rich
A week later, his body was found in a ditch
The white cop who died a rich bitch
Certain places in the south, I live but can't go
'Cause only in daylight will my color show
How much can one **** withstand
Before sunsets I must be back in ghetto land
On the opposite side facing my mirror each day
Never ever will I look and wish black me away
As long as the Most High allows me to keep breathing
I won't get mad, I'll get even
On the opposite side, on the opposite side
