Lyrics
Open up my bible looking for the truth that’s written
Searching for truth in the Bible, seeking clarity.
See the game so clearly even though the gems are hidden
Perceiving the game clearly despite concealed truths or challenges.
Chess pieces scattered all across my linen sheets
Chess pieces represent life's complexities on linen sheets.
Cuh my mental couldn’t rest on the thought of defeat
Mental unrest due to the fear of failure.
It’s only dubs or lessons
Life presents either victories or lessons.
The n fell off like that lil nigga in between the session
An individual lost connection (the letter 'n') during a session.
His right hand still standing clocked a lil brownin looked interesting
Observing a friend in an interesting situation.
Simmered the lust so now they’re texting tryna build em some trust you see
Suppressed desires, now building trust through communication.
Pain ain’t nothing to me it’s just how they game goes
Pain is familiar; it's part of life's game.
My people be fighting they wet us down with a hose
Reference to historical oppression using water hoses.
They try to say we lesser they put up their nose
Facing accusations of inferiority.
They cover their eyes they couldn’t handle the glow
Avoiding the brilliance that others can't handle.
The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice
Celebrating strength in Black identity.
The deeper the greatness the tighter the noose they try to tie
The more significant the potential, the stronger the challenges.
The people huddling together tryna unify
Encouraging unity against opposition.
They don’t want you and I to see the power in our eyes
A call to recognize personal power.
See past all the bs and the propaganda
Seeing through misinformation and propaganda.
When we asking em big questions all they do is flounder
Frustration with evasion of important questions.
It’s sad to see they really do not have a clue
Expressing disappointment in others' lack of understanding.
Boris don’t give a
Unfinished thought about Boris and indifference.
Man if only we knew
Expressing a wish for greater awareness.
I’m talking all that French but man I voted labour
Speaking about political choices, despite language differences.
Corbyn a better choice but nah he ain’t the saviour
Not considering a political figure as a savior.
Mind be in the future but body is present
Mind focused on the future, while physically present.
It’s funny Boris sees most of his fan base as peasants
Observing a leader who views supporters as inferior.
Three years gone Grenfell we’ll never forget
Remembering the Grenfell tragedy after three years.
I wonder if the council sit down and regret
Questioning if the authorities regret their actions.
I wonder if the council sit down and regret
Repetition for emphasis on potential regret.
Fighting for my freedom I’m needing some healing
Struggling for freedom and seeking emotional healing.
The last couple weeks have been so damn revealing
Reflecting on recent eye-opening experiences.
They really tried kneeling
Referring to resistance against oppression, possibly kneeling protests.
But we finally breathing
Finally overcoming challenges and breathing freely.
Fighting for my freedom I’m needing some healing
Continued pursuit of freedom and healing.
The last couple weeks have been so damn revealing
Ongoing revelation and self-discovery.
They really tried kneeling
Resistance against oppressive actions.
But we finally breathing
Celebration of overcoming challenges and experiencing freedom.
