Pick A Side

Huh
I live it day by day, hmm
I constantly wake up to pay the cost
You hide the truth away
'Cause you got privilege just to ignore all
But pick a side
Pick a side, my baby
Pick a side
Pick a side, my baby
Just pick a side
The conscious way (the conscious way)
The messenger side, I picked over pay (I picked over pay)
For my people sake (yuh), I'm the rap Sade (yuh)
It's a taboo that I even broke the gate (right)
Look 'em in the face, all the younger kids (right)
The manipulation what consumption did (I did)
The result of Clive learning from Harvard kids (you see it)
The intention, they infiltrate and got rich (talk), shit
Keep it all in mind (keep it all in mind)
Prison pipeline, I keep in mind (I keep in mind)
Sexualisation, I keep in mind (I keep in mind)
Stereotyper, I keep in mind (I keep in mind)
They might shadow ban (yeah), but I got light inside (yeah)
And the light gon' shine (yeah), 'cause the mic' is mine (yeah)
Ain't not killin' me (yeah), huh, check my vital signs (yeah)
This the final hour, they all losing time
I live it day by day, hmm
I constantly wake up to pay the cost
You hide the truth away
'Cause you got privilege just to ignore all
But pick a side
Pick a side, my baby
Pick a side
Pick a side, my baby
Just pick a side
The valley is surface and vain (it's vain)
They danglin' money and fame (they do)
They celebrate murder and gang
And insurance bodies in case you get slain
Industry, they gon' profit off the pain
They make you a pawn for the love of a chain
Success of a few with some billions to bank
That ain't liberation, you Abel or Cain, my brother? (My brother?)
For my sisters and brothers, my brother (yeah)
Keep it in mind that these systems don't love us (nah)
Capitalism ain't freein' none of us (nah)
Look around at everybody still sugglin' (nah)
Made you think message in music was lame
You callin' us boring that's part of the game, my nigga
Game, my nigga, so I add a for niggas to get it
You hearin' me different, should I pop a titty for niggas to get it?
(Should I pop a titty?)
You hearin' me different, should I pop some pussy for niggas to get it?
(Should I pop some pussy?)
You hearin' me different, should I kill some niggas for niggas to get it?
(Should I off a nigga?)
You hearin' me different? I need to clout chase for you niggas to get it? What side?
I live it day by day, hmm
I constantly wake up to pay the cost
You hide the truth away
'Cause you got privilege just to ignore all
But pick a side
Pick a side, my baby
Pick a side
Pick a side, my baby
Just pick a side
I live it day by day
Pick a side, my baby
You hide the truth away
So pick a side, my baby
