[00:00.000] 作曲 : Cleopatra Nikolic/Dean Josiah Cover/Simbiatu Ajikawo
[00:00.220][Verse 1: Little Simz]
[00:23.163]The mercenary don't fight the war for free
[00:25.320]They fight the war for a currency, not unity, not peace
[00:27.710]Bookkeepers with information that covers all of these details
[00:30.445]Fake news won't prevail if we holding the keys
[00:33.078]Land of the free?
[00:34.393][?] by the false pretense
[00:36.451]They attack and we play defence
[00:37.566]How do I make you see sense?
[00:38.897]Have all of your thoughts deepen, test your beliefs?
[00:41.225]If the law ain't for us, use police on thе police
[00:44.242]Who's increasing all their fees?
[00:45.861]Listеning to their speeches
[00:47.998]How many times did we march with no shoes on? No J's or Louboutin
[00:52.046]Been beaten on, been chewed on
[00:53.913]But it happened years ago, so we should just move on
[00:56.010]You think that man don't know pain 'cause he got a suit on?
[00:58.601]'Cause he finally got a plate that he can now have food on?
[01:01.523]Telling me that luck isn't everybody's friend
[01:04.450]But, really, you can't fathom that my tree now has fruit on
[01:07.438]Don't get me irate in this climate, it's heating up in that plane now
[01:10.577]Can't fly straight, I might up and migrate
[01:12.207]Turbulence results in your mind racing
[01:15.077]Prone to dehydration
[01:16.662]Run 'cause you want freedom, don't die chasing
[01:18.702]This is post-apocalyptic, where we stand
[01:21.330]You wanna give us the Bible and have us give up the land
[01:24.210]They will dangle the carrot when nothing is in your hand
[01:27.065]And tell you never to worry, "it's all just part of the plan"
[01:29.959]**** what you got planned, your wish isn't my command
[01:32.829]These people are not your friends, I finally understand
[01:35.424]They wanna divide you and [?] people in your set
[01:38.343]'Cause when you're winning together, that's bigger than any check
[01:40.971]
[01:41.240][Chorus: ?]
[01:42.571]One day, you'll love my pain
[01:48.084]One day, you'll love my pain
[01:52.755]I need you, Lord
[01:56.079]I need you, Lord (I need you, Lord)
[01:58.586]I need you, Lord
[01:59.632]
[01:59.890][Verse 2: Little Simz]
[02:10.191]Undervalued, underappreciated in the workplace
[02:12.835]Why give you my ideas in the first place?
[02:15.835]Know how you contribute, they tell you "describe how"
[02:19.275]You ask for a pay rise, and they raising they eyebrows
[02:21.338]Why does my Blackness have to come with a fight now?
[02:23.709]I'm peaceful at heart, but I suggest you pipe down
[02:26.831]I'm not ashamed of the soil that I'm made of
[02:29.817]Brave woman, my granddaddy is where I got my name from
[02:32.475]You don't know me well enough to call me Simbi
[02:35.126]The closest people to me actually call me Simz, apart from my family, in a loving capacity
[02:39.961]I could never sell my soul for a salary, no
[02:43.593]They want everything I own, the audacity
[02:45.711]Try somethin', and test your mortality
[02:48.953]That there, is a tragedy
[02:49.992]Oh, you mad how I clocked it and I got here? Mentally, taking back my power and I'm signing out, respectfully
[02:54.954]
[02:55.205][Chorus: ?]
[02:56.454]One day, you'll love my pain
[03:01.492]One day, you'll love my pain
[03:07.110]Protect me, Lord (Protect me, Lord)
[03:09.452]Protect me, Lord (I need you, Lord)
[03:11.961]Protect me, Lord
[03:12.958]
[03:13.212][Verse 3: Little Simz]
[03:13.467]Protect the body, protect the mind
[03:14.271]No, God making sure my blessings are perfectly timed
[03:17.087]We, as a people, die over pride
[03:18.775]Those handouts are never options, where we reside
[03:21.915]And I still gotta provide, what a mess I'm in
[03:24.776]Wonder if it's 'cause I been westernised
[03:26.954]Speaking to the suits, they never give you the best advice, a lesson I've
[03:30.087]Learnt the hard way
[03:31.411]Emphasise real, recognise real, then you become recognised
[03:35.015]Oh, please, step aside, if you're not fighting the war with us
[03:38.299]How do you become numb to a genocide?
[03:40.830]Can't you see that everything we feeling is intensified?
[03:43.441]Bleeding straight from the heart, leave you painfully scarred
[03:46.578]Many say, "Rehabilitation is hard"
[03:49.086]Use all your vices, and escape through the dark
[03:52.476]Running away from the childhood trauma
[03:54.836]So, tryna get clean's sounding like torture
[03:57.986]I'm somebody's daughter
[03:59.578]I'm somebody's sister, I'm somebody's friend
[04:01.953]You don't see me how they see me, you see money you could spend
[04:04.623]Took me some years to comprehend, which led me to writing the realest shit ever penned
[04:10.391]God said, "It's time to give them some gems"
[04:13.306]Switch your perspective, how you look at it through my lens?
[04:16.279]They can never fool me again
[04:18.917]Never silenced, I'ma speak my truth 'till the end
[04:21.026][Outro: Cleo Sol & [?]]
[04:21.293](The Lord is with you, dear)
[04:38.813]One day, you'll love my pain
[04:44.205]One day, you'll love my pain
[04:49.186]I need you, Lord (Lord)
[04:52.087]I need you, Lord (I need you, Lord)
[04:54.211]I need you, Lord (Lord)
[04:57.123]I need you, Lord (I need you, Lord)
[04:59.245]I need you, Lord (Lord)
[05:02.444]I need you, Lord (I need you, Lord)
[05:05.090]I need you, Lord
[05:10.732](You'll never be alone)
[05:33.548](The Lord is with you, dear)
[05:46.573](The Lord is with you)
