I Understand

Yeah Mmm Need y'all to feel this If you ain't never listened Listen now Listen to something that'll help Let's talk about where they got us The system constructed got us Okay with destruction got us Okay with reduction got us Not feeling so special got us Not sticking together got us Feeling this pressure got us Building aggression got us Taking it out on each other Used to the self-infliction They profit from truth we living And hide it by selling fiction The more that i think about it We live in a contradiction Being apart Is whats causing us all the friction Together we on this journey One hell of an expedition Our DNA got the code They studying the encryption I'm sick to my stomach I'm in need of a good physician God is the doctor and We in need of a good prescription We sick of they inquisitions We sick of the false depictions We sick of the back and forth We sick of this motion sickness We sick of the same story Let's write us a new position We know we can stand the rain Let's write us a new edition Dry your eyes black queen Dry your eyes black king Lift your head black queen Lift your head black king I am here black queen I am here black king Never fear black queen Never fear black king I know it's hard as a woman I know it's hard as a man You don't feel the support It's like no one understands Whenever you think No one understands Just know that I understand I understand You want a piece of the pie Slice of the bread They want your brain on drugs So they can scramble your egg They don't want us to eat They want us to taste it They got the pig we Trying to bring home the bacon They living in greed We really do need it Don't show me the cake If you don't want me to eat it You smiling and laughing At the chair that you're seated We'll break the legs off the chairs And watch you fall to the cement We plot to move forward Y'all plot to attack We shoot for the future We get shot in the back Where's the justice for all? Where's the justice in that? You mean justice for y'all It's not the same when you're black But we're still in the race It was late when we started But we're closing the distance And catching up on our target Our heart is a weapon In the land of the heartless If we feel for each other We can get through the darkness Dry your eyes black queen Dry your eyes black king Lift your head black queen Lift your head black king I am here black queen I am here black king Never fear black queen Never fear black king I know it's hard as a woman I know it's hard as a man You don't feel the support It's like no one understands Whenever you think No one understands Just know that I understand I understand
