Verse 1:
Who let the torch passed fall in the tall grass?
Fire alarm wireâs disarmed, what do you call that?
Call it predictable political cliche
So when the movie ends, the revolutionâs dead. Replay
the sequence of events that led to these deep divisions;
Iâve realized that all the wrong people are in prison.
The children wanna know if I believe in the Reptilians!
I tell em âI donât knowâ but on the TV I see lizards.
When action was in fashion you were such an easy mimic!
Bumpersticker quote lifting, crib note statistics,
Grasp for the straw man, born again cynics
Fair-weather firebrand; spark my suspicion.
We knew you were the type to take the fight like a gimmick,
and rock the t-shirt when your sweat wasnât in it.
The clock is still ticking for the victim of the future,
Youâre waiting tilâ they look like you to ever choose butâ
Chorus:
Which Side Are You On?
Which Side Are You On?
(Damn)
Which Side Are You On?
(Ask the Industry.)
Which Side Are You On?
(Ask an Emcee.)
Verse 2:
Who wrote the greatest lines of our generation,
but couldnât get from under their own small-minded hate trip?
The same rappers say theyâre trooping the frontlines,
and casually use the word âFaggotâ as a punchline.
Thatâs not a man, thatâs not a tough guy.
That is a sucker and a fraud to the culture!
Hip Hop is folk music grown from the struggle and
half these fools could put the mic down and run as a Republican.
Fuck âem then; they learn from their own wrong.
Homophobes donât go to my shows, we too strong!
And if youâre in the front row, harassing girls during a song
I will reach and ask you exactlyâ
Chorus:
Which Side Are You On?
Which Side Are You On?
Verse 3:
Iâm on the side of poor people getting organized;
Iâm on the side of Choice where it is in short supply;
Iâm on the side of those the system doesnât authorize;
L-G-B-T We are on the side of Pride,
Justice and Equality;
Egypt to Wisconsin when they march against the Policy;
If you bringing down a King Iâm on your side probably.
Kidsâll give me shit for this it really doesnât bother me.
They were not around when we were wrestling with poverty.
So I follow none and ask no-one to follow me
Use your own mind, use your heart and your anger
Check yourself because Apathy is a cancer
And let your action be the answer.
Chorus
Which Side Are You On?
(Ask your government)
Which Side Are You On?
(Ask your media)
Which Side Are You On?
(Ask yourself)
Which Side Are You On?
Sample:
Donât scab for the bosses,
Donât listen to their lies.
Us poor folks havenât got a chance
Unless we organize.
