LYRICS
The mercenary don’t fight the war for free
They fight the war for a currency not unity not peace
Book keepers with information that covers all of these details
Fake news won’t prevail if we holding the keys
Land of the free
Enslaved by the false pretence
They attack and we play defence
How do I make you see sense?
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
