Verse i
Woke up on the wrong side
Wipe that sleep out his eye
Swear this bread gotta rise
Need cheese, can’t run with the mice, no
Only way he put food on the plate
He never went gym, he’s moving the weight
Want him locked, don’t care bout his age
How you cope on minimum wage?
So f#ck all that talk, he got him some racks
You black or you white? i’ll show you the facts
We gotta work much harder
Stand on the corner, or you turn marga (or you turn marga)
It’s not black or white, gotta step to the plate
When you got no father (got no father)
You can talk that sh#t but it is what it is
Don’t makе you smarter (for real)
I was sevеnteen and i coulda gone left or right
When he showed me the ting, it was cold like ice
See i know what it bring, and i know what he’s like
And the shot dem sting, i ain’t ‘fraid of a fight
I’m a hypocrite, ‘cuz i dance to the sh#t
When they talk about swinging it (swear)
If they talk that sense black boys ain’t hearing it
And all these white boys cap on the internet
Now i feel like a prick ’cah my boy just lost his bro in a stabbing (mad)
Put my hand on my heart, if i lost my kin i’d forget this sh#t that i’m rapping (facts)
Just turn to a ghoul, you don’t see no face, and the night same colour as my fashion (for real)
But i pray to the lord, see the pen is my sword, and i hope that sh#t never happen (no, no, no, no)
Verse ii
Rest up jay, you’re a real one
All these wounds in my heart gotta heal from
Put a wound in your side they ain’t care none
I know your bro f#cked up i ain’t heard from
Situations i gotta learn from
See i know that tomorrow ain’t certain
See how it feel when your man close curtain
Wake everyday but your heart still hurting
Gotta low that person
Yeah i know that your pride got your ego burning
Know that it’s calm til the mandem learn him
Came to a point but the knife still turning (knife still turning)
Belly just churning
Feds ain’t sh#t, why they stopping and searching
Twisting the facts, see they tamper the wording
Keeping us broke, while all of them earning (all of that, all of that)
But i can’t watch them man, i ain’t losing sleep
Gotta buss the gang, i got mouths to feed
Got a bag of plans, paper for my seed
Plotting on this land, that’s the place to be
They don’t want us free
Took us from the sand, told us not to speak
Beat us when we ran, say it’s history
If you take a stand, they can’t stand to see
Chorus
We were born on the wrong side (side)
If you black then it’s on sight (sight)
Way i look yeah i can’t hide (hide)
Make us run like the pharcyde (cyde)
Been this way for a long time (time)
Just the next in a long line (line)
All my dogs are beyond trying (trying)
We were born on the wrong side (side)
If you black then it’s on sight (sight)
Way i look yeah i can’t hide (hide)
Make us run like the pharcyde (cyde)
Been this way for a long time (time)
Just the next in a long line (line)
All my dogs are beyond trying (whoa)
