Help Me Understand - Radio Edit

Tell me why

We out protesting for peace
When they kill n in the streets
Now they hanging us on trees like it's 1863
I been feeling like the only one who want revenge is me
Scared to go eye for an eye
Like we would rather watch us bleed
I don't know why we keep pandering
And tryna pull they teeth
Knowing they can't let you breathe
Cuz they know just who you be
If you remembered who you are
Then you'd move different word to me
Said it once but I'm convinced
They only hear me over beats
They relish in the fact you overzealous
And you always tryna turn the other cheek
Been on the blocks for weeks
But everyday a n still gonna wake up
And see the boys in blue been doing as they please
I'm convinced that you insane
Cuz the only piece I'm tryna keep is this .45
I got tucked inside my briefs
F all that love and light bulls they tryna preach
Cuz King got popped
And all he did was speak his peace
Just help me understand

Just help me understand
How you love someone that hates you
Knowing that that hatred
Only started cuz they ain't you

Built a nation off our backs
Cuz them n wasn't able
Just help me understand
How you misread the play
When they cards out on the table
I don't think we can coexist
I think that s a fable
Being honest cuz I know them boys Is scared to lose they label
But f it they on top now
Been running the clock down
All this time I would think
That n fed up
We should take the win
Cuz we know they'll never let us
I might go get a choppa
To go with my new Beretta
If we never apply
Then they'll never feel the pressure
Need to let these n know that They aint welcome in our sector
I think I'm at a point
I wanna show em why we better
Cuz I know that's the s
That all them n really scared of
I'm tired of tired of them raping and killing women
And stealing all of our children
This s in front of our eyes dawg
Lately my whole mentality hella grimace
I bid them n good riddance
Could give a f if they die off
Know I'm sicker than n
That got that dry cough
And never took no time off
Passion get the best of me
Can't say that i won't fire arms
Weirdo s acceptable
But demonizing our norms
Took all of their problems
And somehow they made it our storm
Just help me understand it
I been all in my feelings
And I wanna do some damage
But I won't lose my life for
N who can't understand it
The war they waging goes beyond
Plane that we breathe air in
Find yo roots and get yo bearings
Or you might just end up vanished
No fear inside a scrap
So with a strap might get too manic
Poppin' at the problem cuz
That's they all they understanding
I could meet you where you at
But I ain't really with the antics
Just help me understand

Just help me understand
How you love someone that hates you
Knowing that that hatred
Only started cuz they ain't you
And it's boiling yo blood
Cuz they knew they couldn't slay you
Just help me understand

Just help me understand
How you make peace with the s
Tell me why you fine
That this s is like it is
Can't be the only one wish
It would cease to exist

How you love someone that hates you
Knowing that that hatred
Only started cuz they ain't you
