They don’t understand me,
They’d rather call me names, than call my phone
I am the foundation of their companionship,
I am fuel to their speech, they’ll be mimes if I didn’t exist,
They don’t understand me.
I am a bird, I want to spread my wings and fly,
I don’t want to watch NEWS, I want to experience all four corners,
Be one with the rainbow and shine brighter
Why discuss people when I can be the conversation?
If I die tonight, am I going to celebrated by many like Mutukudzi?
Would my son live his whole life without working a single day if he chose to?
I could answer these questions and wake up a liar tomorrow,
My whole life has been a lie society is, that’s why I keep to myself,
As I think and grow rich.
Energy is
They don’t understand me,
They’d rather call me names, than call my phone
I am the foundation of their companionship,
I am fuel to their speech, they’ll be mimes if I didn’t exist,
They don’t understand me.
Don’t tell me your purpose is to study me, judge me according to your beliefs,
Forgetting we aren’t the same, but in a way we are,
I would explain but you’ll call me blasphemous, saying the shit I listen to is satanic,
If only I repent will I make sense, bow to Middle Eastern carpe…
Nah! I’m not gonna let you put words in my mouth, you choose to numb your pain with religion,
I let J. Cole take away mine.
They don’t understand me,
They’d rather call me names, than call my phone
I am the foundation of their companionship,
I am fuel to their speech, they’ll be mimes if I didn’t exist,
They don’t understand me.
