Lyrics
If you are not one of us This is not for you Internal Meeting If you are not one of us This is not for you I understand We’re living in trying times Everyone’s trying to survive Should it be peace Or trying to fight fire with fire? Everyone’s trying to decide Who’s is enlightened? Who got ideas for the fight? And who can provide it Usually black women That’s entirely tired of trying So put your pride aside I know you’re tired of all that explaining Teaching the people Who never treated you like one and the same Working for everybody else’s gain Screaming power to people While you were fighting with the power And fighting your people Trying to enlighten your people Getting showered in the shade How can our politics change? How can we not be enraged? That little girl in BK Jumped by a muhf**kin gang Of n***as laughing like it was a mu’f**kin game Listen Not protecting your sister Is like digging your grave We forget it’s a similar figure In which we were made We all say that God works in mysterious ways Blessing gon come with some rain Lessons gon come with some pain Sometime rebuilding starts with setting a building in flames Sometimes rebuilding means correcting our ignorance ingrained Sometimes it’s difficult to say if people really want that change Or an invitation to their game But we can’t be the same I don’t know how it’s gonna look when it’s all over But I know repeating **** people mistakes Really can’t be the way I stand with my n***as With my sisters Everyone else on the spectrum Its about spreading the message Its about spreading the wealth Not picking and choosing who gets it Putting my foot in your shoes Then step on the necks of oppressors But here’s the thing That could be my oppressors Could be your oppressors Really that’s irrelevant We in this together Even if I’ve e been benefitting There ain't no exception Really that’s irrelevant We in this together
