[Intro: Pete Seeger]
Which side are you on, boy?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on, boy?
Which side are you on?
[Verse 1: G1]
See before I draw the line, I gotta welcome you close
To all the folks who knew Obama sold the people a hoax
Gave the money to suckas while our community's still poor
Withdrew the troops but started another war
Colonized and terrorized and created an oil crisis
So they could make a killin' on food and gas prices
Prisons is fillin', they tryna lock up the future
Militarize borders and control of computers
While the stupid bumping music that ain't healthy for the shawties
Povertize the schools and policeman in the hallways
Can't be dormant, I've awoken, rise up, be ready
Brought the family with us and we hold the machete
[Verse 2: M-1]
Ridin' the fence, ridin' the fence
Too many people be ridin' the fence
Yeah you say you're ready for war but are you convinced?
I'm not convinced
If you're a writer, freedom fighter, crime exciter, then let's do this
We can make one big united middle finger to the U.S
Gimme the bravest and the truest, fuck the hippest and the coolest
We're gonna spark this revolution and cross this off our to-do list
Put your foot down if you look down on this criminal system
Put your book down and get shook down like my niggas in prison
Don't be condemning and condoning they actions in one sentence
Now keep in mind, you decide
Is you a patriot or a menace to society?
So riot or sit by quietly
But don't pull out your flag and try to say you gon' ride with me
You flip-flopping like hip-hop, I don't get locked in that trick box
Get got like Big and Pac, shit's got to stop
"I am the people, not the pig," I repeat after Fred
So please blow my brains out if I ever forget
Which side are you on, boy?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on, boy?
Which side are you on?
