I live it day by day, mmm
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 (Conscious way)
The messenger side I picked over pay
For my people's sake (Yeah)
I'm the rap Sade (Yeah)
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 see it
The result of Clive learning from Harvard kids
You see it
The intention, they infiltrate and got rich (Talk)
Shi', keep it all in mind
Prison pipeline, I keep in mind
Sexualization, I keep in mind
Stereotyping, I keep in mind
They might shadowban, but I got light inside
And the light gon' shine 'cause the mic is mine
Ain't no killing me, huh, check my vital signs (Yeah)
This the final hour, they all losing time, pick a side
I live it day by day, mmm
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 dangling 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 wit' some billions to bank
That ain't liberation, you Abel or Cain, my brother?
For my sisters and brothers, my brother
Keep it in mind that these systems don't love us (Nah)
Capitalism ain't freeing none of us (Nah)
Look around at everybody still struggling (Nah)
Made you think message in music was lame
You calling us boring, that's part of they game, my nigga
Game, my nigga
So I add a — for nigga to get it
You hearing me different?
Should I pop a titty for nigga to get it?
Should I pop a titty?
You hearing me different?
Should I pop some pussy for nigga to get it?
Should I pop some pussy?
You hearing me different?
Should I kill some nigga for nigga to get it?
Should I pop a nigga?
You hearing me different?
I need to clout chase for you nigga to get it? What side?
I live it day by day, mmm
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
