Yo therapist
I’m a thug girl, you know a girlie ain’t used to this
Got so much on my mind that a girl can go insane with this
Got so much buildup that sometimes I have to hold my fist
To stop me from cursing and fighting, man I can’t hold this

I just don’t understand
If we were brought to this land
Before the Japanese and Chinese, why we still treated like slaves in this land?
Our black men can’t find jobs and are forced to work under a china man
Cleaning the floors of their stores when they only RECENTLY came to this land
We were promised land and a mule, never got it, yet they give them thousands when they come over to this land
We were shackled and chained
Given white names
Told we were free, yet when we still tried to talk against them we were beat and hanged
Yet they give them fifty thousand to buy land?
Help me understand

Why are we forced to live in projects?
Looked down as rejects
No college aspects
And never talked to in the face direct
They quick to take our jobs when we curse em’
But what they fail to realize is a person like me ain’t scared to holla at em’
It’s a lot of people with built up stress like me against em’
We didn’t press charges when they murdered us
My bad, pulverized us
Well, help me understand why are we going through this?

They say we’re black yet they get tans
They say we’re uneducated yet “Ain’t” and “What’s up?” is in their vocabulary in their southern lands
They not quick to give a black man a job but they will practically RUSH to fukk a black man
They imitate our language and stand
And they expect us to work under them again?
What’s going on woman?

Once we get a little money, buy a BMW or Mercedes
They ride up on us in police cars and bike expecting us to have stolen it from a white lady
That or a dealer who has to make a drop and make money
But their faces look mighty stupid when they out we’re the CEO or United Air Way or President of BET
Lord Save me
Lady help me understand why when a black man kills a black man he gets five years
When a white man kills a black man he only gets six years probation and a year
But yet when a black man kills a white man he gets a life sentence and no probation for years
That is what I fear

Yo therapist help me understand
Help me understand
Help me understand
Help me understand so I can be sane again
 
Whats going on Krazelyricks? Did you finish the post or question?

Nothing wrong with some thug in a life. Cause a thug knows how hold you at night. This is close to what Tupac said...
