Pharoahe Monch - Black Hand Side Lyrics
[Phonte:]
I say open the door, let me in
Teach us all, preach ya sins
Turn the cheek, let it slide
Give me five on the black hand side
Oh, oh the black hand side
The black hand side, oh
[Styles P:]
Give me five on the black hand side
I'll tell you what I see through the black men's eyes
Fly chick, in the Cadillac a black man rides
But every different day a different black man dies
Shawty momma tripping off a crack, mad high
Now you're watching TV, loving the bad guys
Cause we ain't get help here yet, no help
Now he puts down his knapscak, Got a crack pack
You don't overstand if your vision ain't abstract
Me and the projects, a lot of us is lab rats
Voted for Obama, hoping he wouldn't have that; don't have that brotha
Now I can tell you that I felt that, I felt it
I still remember how the cell smells
I still remember how the pigs at
Family crime up on the B.I. couldn't dig that
Open the door and teach your soul
Passin' the blunt around, and hoping to reach his soul
Now give me five on the black hand side
Ghost to Pharoahe Monch watch the black man ride
[Phonte:]
I say open the door, let me in
Teach us all, preach ya sins
Turn the cheek, let it slide
Give me five on the black hand side
The black hand side, oh
Oh, oh the black hand side
The black hand side, oh
[Pharoahe Monch:]
Pharoahe's a Navajo chief, the way I'm making it rain
But never for a stripper with emotional pain
You wouldn't despite system nourishment for the brain
Cause rain plus soil equal fruits and grains
My hood told a nigga: keep it simple and plain
Let me explain the game, break it down a couple levels like Tetris
These young'ns kill they own blood for a necklace
Leave slumped over the wheel of your Lexus
Smoke kush, wake up and eat breakfast
What the fuck he expect
A generation overly obsessed with mobsters
Our revolutionaries won Grammys and Oscars
Impostors, fake auras and weak chakras
Makin' a mockery of the music to be pop stars
And they say I'm insane because I see the remains of the whips and chains
In my hood where it ain't all good
Peep the pain of a single mother, she struggling
Young child slain
Give me five on the black hand side
Let's maintain like it's Soul Train keep and move it together
I'm saying
[Phonte:]
I say open the door, let me in
Teach us all, preach ya sins
Turn the cheek, let it slide
Give me five on the black hand side
The black hand side, oh
Oh, oh the black hand side
The black hand side, oh

Phonte is a talented cat
Phonte should have had a verse.

Stylesbetheghost
WE STILL IN HERE
Great song and video man!
Love this song and the vid is dope af. Too bad we're living in the black and white world instead of the one in color.
This jam is a piece of art nothing less..
man where do i know this Sample from??!!
Real hood story, preach styles.
One of the greatest songs
3 monstros!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Incredibly nice!! #respect
Seven years later, this is STILL one of my favorite joints ever! Pharoahe is hands downs of the most gifted lyricists to ever touch the mic. Broken Again (P.T.S.D. album) is also one of many favorite joints from him as well.
The mighty pharaoh
Right on Brother🔥🔥🏀✊✊✊✊
먼치는 너무 압살이라서 피처링하면 먼치꺼만 듣게되네
god he's beautiful. what i wouldn't do just to meet him and share a hug or even just a handshake some day. i love him.
So inspirational
This track is so 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥...
💜💓🎧
Obama failed America, was just another puppet. We got a real leader now. Lowest unemployment for blacks/Hispanics in decades.
Keep America Great 2020
Foh you dumb blind pos.
If you don't like this, it probably wasn't meant for you in the first place.
The GTFOH with that dislike business!
KEEP SCROLLING!
I was waiting for Tay to rap... then the video went off and I realized he was singing the hook.
2018.... philippines...
Can we please blame radio for the bullshit we hear.
Did you know corner stores and grocerie stores in black communities sell poison in the food. Biological war. Dead at 40. No legacy.
Don't know how I missed this one. Better late than never, added to some chill playlists.
His music has such an authentic sadness to it. He’s obviously felt the pain he sings about. Makes it that much more heart rending and potent.
we still in here in 2018
I don't know why this song makes me want to cry
WtF its 2018 and im Just now hearing this fiya🔥track!! man iBeen sleepin... But im #WokeNow
I still bump this heavy
I might say fuk bad boys records but styles p is one of the most underrated microphone controller in the rap industry.
P e r f e z i o n e
This video made me love this song so much more man!!
Why was the dude un-packing that box of Newport?.
Underrated!!!
🎶▶️🔂
Dope music Classic music awesome poet hip-hop raw lyrical era
Real dope 3kings
love it!
This video is so dope!
Genius song and video!
The Great, Pharoahe Monch!
Pure hip hop right here...
3:12 Phonte put the paws on 'em
Top notch production and lyrics... Inimitable pharaoh...
I just happened to think about him and thought id look him up. Im not disappointed. This tune will be timeless!
Classic right here
I wish tigallo would have blessed this jawn with a few bars. The vocals was dope but he would have also helped murder this piece. It’s still fire though!
there's South African blood in this song.
I wish Phonte had more than just the hook on this track, he speaks from the soul and this kind of song is exactly the form he would've been able to draw up his empowerment lyricism from/for. Three heavyweights though attempting to move the cultural narrative forward, and I like to see that.
who produced this
Bring back that 90s flavor
Jacob Gonzalez 80's even better YANKEE'S DIDN'T WIN 1 RING IN THE 80'S BUT HIP-HOP WAS 6 YRS. OLD & IT WAS REAL#!!!!!!!!!
beautiful song
That's whats up!!!!
THIS IS HIP HOP....#BlackKings
Amazing song and video
TYLER WOODS i know this you
i insist upon the fact tjat Styles P is the greatest ever to do it
Brother Hood TOP TEIR WITHOUT KAREEM ABDUL JABAAR CRYING!# GET IT TOP TEAR!!!!!!!!!!!! OOOOH$$!!!$$$$!
still such a awesome tune
All my brothers gimmie five, on da back hand side.... Peace and love to everybody, i love all....
Phonte should have rapped on this.
Straight classic
This whole album was brutally slept on.

Que música mas verdadera
in living color show love to your brother from another whom u may have never met

Brilhante!
