jidenna - worth the weight lyrics

[intro]
people, confusion going on
why don’t we just learn how to live with one another?
it’s not really impossible, why do we have to make it so hard?
with so much pollution and erasion, why? why?
if we can learn how to live with one another, then we can learn who is going to take the weight?
wait, i think that you’ll find it
wait, wait, i think that you’ll find it
wait, wait, i think that you’ll find it

[verse 1]
yeah, yeah
i go for the record, i don’t just go for the medals, bro
n-gg-s used to know that we stronger than the devil, bro
since i buried papa in the village with the shovel, bro
every move is bold, ain’t no time for bein’ subtle, bro
in the face of evil, i can find the needle, haystack
could have freed my people if this weed was legal way back
popo spun the wheel on misfortune, but i ain’t play that
they come round and pat-pat-pat us down but i ain’t say jack
i escaped the trap, i escaped the cubicles, bro
i escaped the drive by’s, drop the funerals, bro
and i beat the case, and i beat the chase, woah woah
can i keep the pace? can i keep the pace ? i’on know
i escaped them tryna bleach a n-gg-‘s brain
coulda went to wall street, instead i built up my own lane
rather have a street in my own name
or money with my face on it like i’m prince arcane

[refrain]
you not gon’ see me frowning in these days and times, you see, the days of the oyinbo man are numbered like football dresses, we all know that all of our suffering and smiling has been worth the wait

[verse 2]
my n-gg-, who knew?
who knew that that boy from [?] with the b–boo on his knee (knee)
back then was actin’ like a bulldog on a leash (leash)
one day he’d have to learn the juju on the streets (streets)
starin’ at death, like, is your shooters gonna squeeze? (squeeze)
freeze, please
as a little boy slanging chains back in chinatown
thinkin’ to myself, i’ma build a block at [?] town wit’ my, wit’ my, wealth
and i pray that i’m the brightest sound that you ever felt
i’ma take a million flights around, ’til that sh-t is felt
that’s that lead the way, ayy
that’s no piece of cake, ayy
that’s that troll online that live inside the tree all day, ayy
that’s that he so g-y, ayy
that’s that she so fake, ayy
that’s that insecure, ayy
that’s that issa rae, ayy
hey
you do you, me do me
so long as you don’t fuss wit’ we (we, baby)

[outro]
i believe it’s time for african people powered highway, this highway that will connect the desperate motherland, a global highway for african people all over the world to discover themselves, to remember that the only thing that unites black people, globally, the only thing we have in common is that we’re from africa
