Lord Knows Video (MV)

Lord Knows
Still I Rise, my stat line, say i should reside in a cell or a flat line
Momma had twins in her teens, that means
I should have a couple rounds in me, that what o' boy mentioned
We steady thinking politicians listen to whatevers missing
They cash kissing, population pimping, my wife get it bad
Men paid more than she do, but she twice degrees he do
I'm still stereotyped, last hired, first fired, worst yet, grilled for my silent protest
Enraged, everyday a dead black male on the front page
Or demonized cuz we marginalized, listen
Crack broke the back of the hood, bruh, we went to jail, but
Meth hit the burbs and they all get help
Wait Jay, I think we need all the facts
Very few a y'all trade your skin to be black
Lord knows

Lord knows the pain in your soul when your knees hit the floor said you gotta let it go
Lord knows the pain in your soul when your knees hit the floor said you gotta let it go
Lord knows the pain in your soul when your knees hit the floor and you gotta let it go

Still I rise, I see the eyes of my fam sitting middle class
House broken barely buy gas
Big crib, nice car, couple kids, wat a farce
Mortgage killer, car note killer, Healthcare killer
Year round soccer a killer
Prescription drugs a killer an
Addicted to porn, uh
Iphones, samsung, xbox, uggs and j's
Not to mention college debt, Lord Knows gotta to be paid
Bills through the roof
American pie killing you
In bed wit yah boo
They nah one talk to you
Yah dont event rub toes, haha!
Spark gone, trying to hold on
Lost God in the midst
And ready to quit, head low
Where to Go, when your life
Is what everybody aim fo
Lord Knows, Lord knows, Lord knows

Still I Rise
We only as blind as We chose to be
Fulfillment ain't cash and the cars, jewels and the bars
Shoes and the charms, prestige and who dat on your arm
Nore to rule or to harm, we are broken and we scarred
The desires of my heart, got to stay with the Lord, no you, no me
Our arms to fight god, big dog, don't reach
We students, he the teach, Lest that trust be breached
We'll be lost a sea
Truth aint soft, don't believe what you see
Cuz sugar look like salt, Be a warrior not a worrier
Imagine how sweet the world would be
If we pushed love like our one political team
You can't, spray tan personality
Be you, they crucified the king for being who he was made to
The lights, and the glamour is made to, trap and betray you
That's why you stay glued to the cat that made you
Only Lord Knows

Lord knows the pain in your soul when your knees hit the floor said you gotta let it go
(Only Lord Knows)
Lord knows the pain in your soul when your knees hit the floor said you gotta let it go
Lord knows the pain in your soul when your knees hit the floor and you gotta let it go

Lord Knows
