歌詞
[Verse 1]
Fuck you, understand me
Fuck you, understand me
Fuck you, understand me
I said, fuck you, understand me
Fuck you, understand me
Fuck you, understand me
Fuck you, understand me
I said, fuck you, understand me
Understand me
Fuck you, understand me
Fuck you, understand me
I said, you understand me
Understand me
Fuck you, understand me
Fuck you, understand me
Fuck, fuck you, understand me
[Verse 2]
Raise up
Ignorant motherfucker, get your game up
Who out there runnin' thing?
[Verse 3]
First nation, sweat ceremony in a spaceship
****, we outta here
Unanimous goldmine
[Verse 4]
All Coltrane solos at once
Race is performative
Asked Maya to translate Joplin
She said, "Scott or Janice?"
To be honest, I was used to the shackles
Religious upbringing
Patriarchal male child in the promised land
My identity was encrusted with the myth of having been chosen
Stop and frisked Monday morning
Got schooled before I even arrived there
Teacher wanna know why I'm late
Criminal justice and the pipeline
Virtual freedom, avatar dust and the mockingbird
[Verse 5]
Fuck you, understand me
Fuck you, understand me
Fuck you, understand me
Fuck you, understand me
Fuck you, understand me
Said, fuck you, understand me
[Verse 6]
Your feeling comin' through the ceiling
Never let the light in, heard it gives you cancer
Never had an answer for anything in life
If you think you do, then you better think twice
Everything is trife, everything is fright
Knife through him if he don't look at you right
It's like flex
[Verse 7]
All Coltrane solos at once
[Verse 8]
Twist them horns round the necks of each equation
And expand upon multiples of death
We were crowded in the shit pickings of a floating toilet
Dreaming of an afterlife
Memory stored in a cloud
Terabytes in C major
The winners of religious thinking praise books for bookends
Here is the invention of the astronaut
First nation sweat ceremony in a spaceship
To imagine Hell is privilege
Paint a dream world solid enough to hold us
Held by blocks of times, margins, and calendars
Divisions of labor, contracts social and otherwise
With each kiss, biodynamic in direct co-relation to stars and seasons
The ability to calculate distance, harness power
Stem cells erect mobile mansions capable of projecting destruction
At greater and greater will
What could be keeping us here?
[Verse 9]
Fuck you, understand me
Fuck you, understand me
Fuck you, understand me
I said, fuck you, understand me
Fuck you, understand me
Fuck you, understand me
Fuck you, understand me
Fuck you, understand me
Fuck you, understand me
I said, fuck you, understand me
