Zi - Try To Understand lyrics

[Verse 1: Zi] Life is short and nobody wants to go first But they'll be times in life when you'll regret your own birth 'Cause being poor hurts And the hardest thing to understand is that it's not like we don't work My Momma told me don't curse But I'm just expressing the feeling of living in this cold world What am I supposed to say when homie got jumped for going out with the wrong girl Tell the family he'll be late for dinner Left in a coma but it could've been worse History repeats itself because we didn't learn And all I got is my balls and those mother f**ing words I'm thinking some people have no heart or maybe Cupid is not that sk**ed See you can't judge a man until you truly feel how he feels And I can understand But was that enough for you to k** [Chorus: Zi] There's not always a simple answer to the question why I know it's hard to understand but we have to try We gotta come up with a plan 'cause I'm tired to see us cry And this is not a one man's job There's not always a simple answer to the question why I know it's hard to understand but we have to try We gotta come up with a plan 'cause I'm tired to see us cry And this is not a one man's job [Verse 2: Zi] I need to get up but I'm too tired Then I remember last night I heard my boo crying And she deserves better so I wake up with the strength of a tiger 'Cause at the bottom there's no room for the weak you gotta be a true fighter 15 years old k**ed with a screwdriver Sometimes you literally need to be a true fighter Too many victims of unnecessary violence And it's like they'll keep ignoring it until we start a new riot You see reading between lines needs to be the new science 'Cause the one who's selling always has the advantage on the one who's buying That's why I flip the channel when the news is on 'Cause what they're doing to the youth is wrong And if you could read my heart you'd read the lyrics to my future songs [Chorus: Zi] There's not always a simple answer to the question why I know it's hard to understand but we have to try We gotta come up with a plan 'cause I'm tired to see us cry And this is not a one man's job There's not always a simple answer to the question why I know it's hard to understand but we have to try We gotta come up with a plan 'cause I'm tired to see us cry And this is not a one man's job [Verse 3: Zi] I wish we could all just pop bottles and party But this world is a jungle and this life ain't a safari Instead of keeping 'em in school they make 'em join the army Politicians with their short term visions are professionals at being sorry Some people get hurt but we don't notice 'cause they don't scream See baby girl's a queen in her own dreams But to society she's nothing but a dope fiend So f**ed up she lets the phone ring Says a lot sh** she don't mean And got left out by the whole team I don't have the answer this is not me raising my hand Plus we can't agree with everything but we can try to understand And this is not a f**ing brand this is who I am f** a dream I'm trying to come up with a plan [Chorus: Zi] There's not always a simple answer to the question why I know it's hard to understand but we have to try We gotta come up with a plan 'cause I'm tired to see us cry And this is not a one man's job There's not always a simple answer to the question why I know it's hard to understand but we have to try We gotta come up with a plan 'cause I'm tired to see us cry And this is not a one man's job
