Have all of your thoughts deepen Test your beliefs If the law ain’t for us who’s policing the police? Who’s increasing all their fees? Listening to their speeches How many times did with march with no shoes on No Js or Louboutin Been beaten on we been chewed on But it happened years ago so we should just move on You think that man don’t know pain cos he got a suit on Cos he finally got a plate that he can now have food on Telling me that luck isn’t everybody friend But really you can’t fathom that my tree now has fruit on Don’t get me irate in this climate It’s heating up and that plane now can’t fly straight I might up and migrate turbulence results in your mind racing Prone to dehydration Running cos you want freedom don’t die chasing This post apocalyptic, where we stand You wanna give us the bible and have us give up the land They will dangle the carrot when nothing is your hand And tell you never to worry it’s all just part of the plan Fuck what you got planned Your wish isn’t my command These people are not your friends I finally understand They wanna divide you and close people in your set Cos when your winning together that’s bigger than any check One day you’ll love my pain One day you’ll love my pain I need you Lord I need you Lord (I need you Lord) I need you Lord Undervalued under appreciated in work place Why I give you my ideas in the first place know how you contribute they tell you describe how You ask for a pay rise and they raising they eyebrows Why does my blackness have to come with a fight now? I’m peaceful at heart but I suggest you pipe down I’m not ashamed of the soil that I’m made of Brave woman my granddaddy is where I got my name from You don’t know me well enough to call me Simbi The closest people to me actually call me Simz Apart from my family in a loving capacity I could never sell my soul for a salary no They want everything I own the audacity Try something and test your mortality That there is a tragedy Oh you mad how I clocked it and I got here mentality Taking back my power and I’m signing out respectfully One day you’ll love my pain One day you’ll love my pain Protect me Lord (protect me Lord) Protect me Lord (I need you Lord) Protect me Lord Protect the body protect the mind Know God making sure my blessings are perfectly timed We as a people die over pride Those handouts are never options where we reside And still I gotta provide What a mess I’m in Wonder if it’s cos I’ve been westernised Speaking to the suits they never give you the best advice A lesson I’ve Learned the hard way emphasised Real recognise real then you become weaponised Oh please step aside If you not fighting the war with us, how do you become numb to a genocide? Can’t you see that everything we feeling is intensified Bleeding straight from the heart Leave you painfully scarred Many say rehabilitation is hard You saw your vice as an escape through the dark Running away from the childhood trauma So tryna get clean’s sounding like torture I’m somebody’s daughter I’m somebody’s sister Im somebody’s friend You don’t see me how they see me you see money you can spend took me some years to comprehend Which led me to write the realest shit ever penned God said it’s the time to give them some gems Switch your perspective have you look at it through my lens They can never fool me again Never silenced Ima speak my truth till the end The Lord is with you One day you’ll love my pain One day you’ll love my pain I need you Lord (Lord) I need you Lord (I need you Lord) I need you Lord (Lord) I need you Lord (I need you Lord) I need you Lord (Lord) I need you Lord (I need you Lord) I need you Lord You’ll never be alone The Lord is with you The Lord is with you SUBSCRIBE: https://littlesimz.ffm.to/youtube.oyd #LittleSimz #NOTHANKYOU
