B-Sides

[Verse 1: Aquil]
Most of my heroes were murdered or ostracized
So how could I accommodate the lies
I see why niggas afraid to ride plus standing up suicide
When you collide with corporate interest where the power lies
Afraid to die, why’s our leadership predetermined
How many earn the position qualified
The first to lay they lives down and sacrifice
The brave we venerate deify continue backwards ways and misbehave
Picked off since the Roman times
From stone to crucifixion to lynching to bullets
Of assassins who were paid to pull it
Foolish to have a sense of agency
Leaders names are screamed
Niggas benedicts, playing for the wrong team
But of convenience front runners cowardice and scared to ride
True leaders in the trenches treated second class as B Sides

[Hook:Electric Lady]

Treat our leaders like they B Sides ain't too many people gone ride treat our leaders like they B sides
Treat em like they B Sides ain't too many people gone ride treat our leaders like they B sides
Treat em like they B Sides ain't too many people gone ride treat our leaders like they B sides
B Sides...B Sides...B Sides B sides

[Verse 2:Aquil]
Why be a leader for plight of the people
When martyrdom is sure to meet you hostile and deceitful
I see two options either co-opt you or red dot you
Odds are colossal and whats the prize of giving life when ideas die?
Perception-wise, deconstructed injustice, human rights are obstructed
Message taken mistaken used for commercial purposes
Reason for standing and speaking and the averted perverted escapist delusion
And drug comsumption adds to confusion
Losing heroes to heroin and betrayal
Colonize they pass the nails to impale the limbs
Of prophetic woman and men who meet they end
Short of they goal niggas in mind control
They love the same traps of killin those who address where they at
The reverance tends to pale to the hate they face the cells of opposition wires their place
The fakes ya’ll admiring in dire states
The fall of man and synthetic brands of leadership in their place
Its the bsides

[Hook:Electric Lady]
Ain't to many people gone ride treat our leaders like they B sides

Treated like they B Sides ain't too many people gone ride treat our leaders like they B sides

Treat em leaders like they B Sides ain't too many people gone ride treat our leaders like they B sides

B Sides...B Sides...B Sides b sides
