WRONG SIDE OF THE BARS Lyrics

Look, all these leaders that they call leaders, this included Lena Horne, this included Dick Gregory

this included comedians, comics, trumpet players, baseball players

Show me in the white community where a comedian is a white leader

Show me in the white community where a singer is a white leader, or a dancer or a trumpet player is a white leader

These aren't leaders

These are puppets and clowns

People who have been set up are over the black community, by the white community, and have been made celebrities

And usually say exactly what they know that the white man wants to hear

Usually Negroes know that when this bourgeois Negro walks through the door, he is not doing something that he's initiated himself

but he's involved in something in which the white man is the absolute author of

and has sent him to the Negro community for some information

And we usually get y'all on the wrong side of the bars, niggas, being drunk off of hard liquors

and trying to be hard niggas with hard niggas

Security, the owner, the bartender, a team of large men, still mean hard-hitters

whose gossips are figures

And golly, honestly, I'm aware some of the dopest to do it

We stay showing and proving, knowing and moving, the more we're improving

We go to them grooving, coasting and cruising, those boasting we bruising

We're roasting reunions, we toasting when tuning

Hungry emotions, that movement, the best our moves been

It's like success just moved in

And with the movement moving, we ain't in the mood, friend

Care less what your crew spends, ain't tightening up our loose ends

Cause for a few bends, you'll lose untrue friends

And fights for a life, facing like two tens

Who wins when it's all writings and stars

We on the wrong side of the bars from trying to be hard

What's hard is starting a business, whether legal or illegal

It is what sets up future skill sets for all the people in it

It all starts when you're young, wanting more digits

There's truly no limit, get up and go get it

Those timid, never follow their dreams, victims of the wickedness

Plots and schemes, diabolical means, trying to own all of the things

You'll know with y'all on the team, champions that God them a ring

What's hard

Getting your family and friends off that broke shit

What's hard

Remaining focused even when things seem hopeless

What's hard

Getting all your shit and getting you some ownership

What's hard

Doing your thing, making sure you're the dope piece

What's hard

Getting your family and friends up off that broke shit

What's hard

Remaining focused even when things seem hopeless

What's hard

Getting on your shit and getting you some ownership

What's hard

Doing your thing, making sure you're the dope piece

What's hard

It's for people to quit smoking

Nicotines gets more fiends while we sitting joking

Same people that own them companies said that they didn't smoke it

With warnings on the label, you catching cancer's fatal throat

You didn't know it

What's hard

It's to stop drinking

Start plotting and start thinking how to make it to the top peaking

Black buffets at buffets, owners who's blocked eating

We all feasting from leaving them proper meetings

What's hard

It's to stop cheating and stop leaving rooms when loss loves leaving grooms

It's rooms for reasons that you assume the meanings

Deadbeat dads who zoom from skeetings that bloom into heart beatings

What's hard

It's daughter dances and sunny days instead of dark evenings

It's loving your sisters and brothers, building our communities to fluently love each other

Finding that godliness we all possess inside to discover

What's hard

It's getting your family and friends all that broke shit

What's hard

Remaining focused even when things seem hopeless

What's hard

Getting on your shit and getting you some ownership

What's hard

Doing your thing, make it sure you're the dopest

What's hard

Getting you family and friends all that broke shit

What's hard

Remaining focused even when things seem hopeless

What's hard

Getting on your shit and getting you some ownership

What's hard

Doing your thing making sure you're the dopest

What's hard

Getting your family and friends all that broke shit

What's hard

Remaining focused even when things seem hopeless

What's hard

Getting on your shit and getting you some ownership

What's hard

Doing your thing making sure you're the dopest

What's hard

Getting your family and friends all that broke shit

What's hard

Remaining focused even when things seem hopeless

What's hard

Getting on your shit and getting you some ownership

Doing your thing making sure you're the dopest

What's hard

Getting off that bull shit

What's hard

Getting on that real shit

What's hard

Time's got a tune now and the tune is neat

Bite rough, certainly roll away, but I hope it touch you where you feel
