Tell me why Tell me why Tell me why Tell me why Tell me why Tell me why Tell me why Tell me why We out protesting for peace When they kill **** in the streets Now they hanging us on trees like it's 1863 I been feeling like the only one who want revenge is me Scared to go eye for an eye Like we would rather watch us bleed I don't know why we keep pandering And tryna pull they teeth Knowing they can't let you breathe Cuz they know just who you be If you remembered who you are Then you'd move different word to me Said it once but I'm convinced They only hear me over beats They relish in the fact you overzealous And you always tryna turn the other cheek Been on the blocks for weeks But every day a **** still gonna wake up And see the boys in blue been doing as they please I'm convinced that you insane Cuz the only piece I'm tryna keep is this .45 I got tucked inside my briefs **** all that love and light **** they tryna preach Cuz King got popped And all he did was speak his peace Just help me understand Just help me understand How you love someone that hates you Knowing that that hatred Only started cuz they ain't you Built a nation off our backs Cuz them **** wasn't able Just help me understand How you misread the play When they cards out on the table I don't think we can coexist I think that **** a fable Being honest cuz I know them boys Is scared to lose they label But **** it they on top now Been running the clock down All this time I would think That **** fed up We should take the win Cuz we know they'll never let us I might go get a choppa To go with my new Beretta If we never apply Then they'll never feel the pressure Need to let these **** know that They ain't welcome in our sector I think I'm at a point I wanna show em why we better Cuz I know that's the **** That all them **** really scared of I'm tired of tired of them raping and killing women And stealing all of our children This **** in front of our eyes dawg Lately my whole mentality hella grimace I bid them **** good riddance Could give a **** if they die off Know I'm sicker than **** That got that dry cough And never took no time off Passion get the best of me Can't say that I won't fire arms Weirdo **** acceptable But demonizing our norms Took all of their problems And somehow they made it our storm Just help me understand it I been all in my feelings And I wanna do some damage But I won't lose my life for **** who can't understand it The war they waging goes beyond Plane that we breathe air in Find yo roots and get yo bearings Or you might just end up vanished No fear inside a scrap So with a strap might get too manic Poppin' at the problem cuz That's they all they understanding I could meet you where you at But I ain't really with the antics Just help me understand Just help me understand How you love someone that hates you Knowing that that hatred Only started cuz they ain't you And it's boiling yo blood Cuz they knew they couldn't slay you Just help me understand Just help me understand How you make peace with the **** Tell me why you fine That this **** is like it is Can't be the only one wish It would cease to exist Just help me understand Just help me understand How you love someone that hates you Knowing that that hatred Only started cuz they ain't you Just help me understand Just help me understand How you make peace with ya **** Just help me understand How you that much of a **** Just help me understand Made us think it's our hands Just help me understand Just help me understand Just help me understand How you make peace with ya **** Just help me understand How you that much of a **** Just help me understand Some mornings, the very moment I wake is fire Blackened blood in my eyes White ceiling, painted with gunsmoke My nightmares a retort Awaken to cremation Some mornings I am haunting Ascending into the shadows I consider Everything I know I am Everything I know they are afraid of A mirror of mass potential With pepper in the ducts of my eyes I become my enemy Blind and reactionary No reform, only invasion, Call it manifest destiny I can't breathe before I exhale vengeance I am a loving woman But black and woman so Some mornings I am overwhelming experience My body cramps with recoil A constant misfire Fingers clenched around the trigger On my own block With my own men No safety until I am locked in my barracks Still, my mental has been breached by the colony These thoughts don't align with my tribe If only we could educate Use our voices to infiltrate But the troops are stuck in the trenches Debating who's black enough to reparate We are all stuck imperial shell shock Some mornings I must pry open my fists, press palms together and pray Ask every angel and orisha, god, I ask myself Forgive me what I dreamt last night Remind me who I am today Cleanse the white from pituitary Break the chains Give me my nerves back Burn me Black. Rich. Loving woman As fearless as they come Dress me my own liberation Some mornings This fire will not go out until everything worth burning is ash
