[Verse 1]

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


[Verse 2]

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 nigga'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 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
