jk-47 - i am here (trust me) lyrics

[intro]
h+h+h+hazy

[verse 1: jk+47]
you think you above me
now you be quick to come and judge me
i wonder why you just can’t love me, d+mn it’s gettin’ ugly
down about a thousand in some fines
and wanna make me pay your price with my life?
try make it nice, put your reasons and excuses down
but you’ll see the worth of your words useless now
the truth is out, you puttin’ labels on your own kind
prejudice and hatred got you makin’ up your own mind
so blind toward the fact that i am more than black
you lyin’ to yourself and everybody else
and let my people die inside them cells when you were meant to help
don’t talk about the struggle when it’s more than mental health
so what we gotta do to see our daughters livin’ well?
‘cause we ain’t doin’ this ourselves when they ask “how come?”
it’s the outcome of bein’ brought up in this h+ll
tell me get a bucket, but there ain’t no water in the well
nah, i ain’t stupid, brah
so i’m on the watch when the copper cruises past
because i’m black, i can never tell the two apart
if he’s a cop or just a dog tryna chew my +rs+
i’ma spit it for my peers and my brothers, f+ck the shoes and cars
i ain’t in it for your “ooh”s and “ah”s
i’m doin’ this for my community and half my people don’t know who to be
reason bein’ we got no identity
[pre+chorus: jk+47]
we don’t know who to be
‘cause they robbed us of our identity
nah, we don’t know who to be
‘cause they robbed of us of our identities

[chorus: jk+47, jk+47 & phoebe jacobs]
so look, i’ma do it for my people
can’t stop, won’t stop until it’s equal
ay, yeah, i do this for my people
can’t stop, won’t stop until it’s equal, yeah
ay, i said i do this for my people
can’t stop, won’t stop until it’s equal
yeah, i’ma do it for my people
can’t stop, and i won’t stop till it’s equal

[post+chorus: jk+47 & phoebe jacobs, jk+47]
we don’t wanna be here
we don’t wanna go, where we gonna go?
we just want peace, yeah
a place to call home, you are not alone
i am here with you
sister, keep your head up, brother, don’t you let up
i am here with you
i know you feelin’ fed up, don’t you ever give up
i am here, trust me
[verse 2: jk+47]
i feel like the walls been cavin’ in
guess now i’m caught up in this state again
i swear the game’s playin’ me, i can’t find a way to win
been blazin’ since a kid, i been tryna shake it since
waitin’ for the day i do, but my patience been paper thin
yet and still all the while i do this for my family
that’s why an only child ain’t really understandin’ me
come walk a hundred miles trapped in the fact
that because you’re black you get no slack from a judge or a jack
so i ain’t slackin’, i’ma let ‘em have it
give a d+mn about your black robes or your badges
‘cause i got that black magic
kinda sh+t that have you wiggin’ out, full spinnin’ out on me like “the heck happened?”
i been at ‘em with the rhyme you cannot fathom
yeah, hard times, you know i had ‘em, watchin’ that rain pitter patter
thinkin’ my life didn’t matter no more as i fall to the floor
lookin’ at god like “what you mad at me for?”

[interlude: jk+47]
man
how the h+ll did we get here?
how we livin’ like this?
do they not care about us?
what are we supposed to do?
[pre+chorus: jk+47]
nah, we don’t know who to be
(i need to get out of here)
‘cause they robbed us of our identities (uh) (get me out of here)
