Verse 1)

Brought up as david in a terrain of goliaths

Lost my train of thought in my mind don't mind my high flyin

But on the physical level im shackled down by these giants

Tryna escape to the crazy mental pictures im drawin

 

With a stroke across the canvas and a brush to the side

With my palette set and ready i'm bound to arise

but bound to the streets not bound to comply

abound are the robots standardized to pick a side

 

but which side's good and which side's the bad one

which hands you a book while the other a hand gun

which welcomes you with peace signs up in the air

other side does the same leave the air in flares

glares ignite transform into judgement snares

trapping people up now it's labeled public affairs

open your eyes, to real eyes and realize

Being content with current events won't leave you fulfilled

 

(Hook)

Which side would you pick if you had the chance

If you had a chance where would you stand

If you had to stand on which leg would it be?

If you could choose the leg are you really free?

If you had to stand on which leg would it be?

If you could choose the leg are you really free?

 

(Verse 2)

here's a situation ill let ya'll be the judge

three friends arabic, african and american

a boy and two girls, two tall one short

were snaked by another friend, and now pumping adrenaline

plagued with thoughts from games, shows, and scars

the only SOLUTION they found was a 9mil to spar

this is where you come in tell me which one

was the holder of the gun, who got the job done?

plot twist think, stop and understand

stand in place of these people and take it all in

firsthand, firstly i never gave you any underhand

information, it could be the allocation

of your attention to the subject of miscomprehension

where you begin to assume, and zoom past the point

of this gloom, appreciate our compassion

guard our regard and safeguard it in a strongroom

 

(Hook)

Which side would you pick if you had the chance

If you had a chance where would you stand

If you had to stand on which leg would it be?

If you could choose the leg are you really free?

If you had to stand on which leg would it be?

If you could choose the leg are you really free?

 

(Verse 3)

Now back to the story of the midget and the giant

one seemed calm while the other defiant

the giant held his ground unaffected by the battle

the physically smaller felt it was his time shine

living with standards that he did not meet

told what he couldn't do was already defeat

Yet his feet kept moving toward the great beast

But something struck him down as he drew to the greet

he realised this battle was one without a cause

and the victory came from accepting his differences/ in course

of bringing about change that he wanted to see

in the world around him it had to be

him to start the change initiate the drive

binge on the nature that you once tried to hide

bring forth the experience you held back

don't know to swim but in the deep/ i / dive

 

(Hook)

Which side would you pick if you had the chance

If you had a chance where would you stand

If you had to stand on which leg would it be?

If you could choose the leg are you really free?

Which side would you pick if you had the chance

If you had a chance where would you stand

If you had to stand on which leg would it be?

If you could choose the leg are you really free?

If you had to stand on which leg would it be?

If you could choose the leg are you really free?
