Opposite Side Letra

As Jimmy the Greek speaks I'll keep flowing steadily
On the opposite side a scene is set
They 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 30 seconds there's another black burial
I stand on a side without a flag
On every corner a fag
5 outta 10 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 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 would feel frighten me

But I ain't surprised
Because 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 100 dollar bill
The thought of such a bill would kill Capitol Hill
A nigga's spiritual song we still sing
First getta dial tone if ya want freedom to ring
There's another hell but this one's on earth
Like 12 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's 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 nigga 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
