It's not something we get to choose, but it is something we get to cherish (Yeah)
It's something we get to wear, and we get to rock this with honor
I'm black like my granddaddy and my great-great-great-great-grandmother
Black is that lift every voice and sing
Black is that letting your freedom ring and resound
Black is adjective, adverb, color and noun
We've only just begun
Listen and understand
Listen and understand
Listen and understand
Listen and understand
I'm listening
There's an adventure show
You see me and you think you know
Power deep down inside me grows now
Listen up and I'll tell you, tell you
Stronger than a sequoia
Can't be drowned by the water
Got my grandma was fire
Sweeter than jambalaya
Ooh
Listen and understand
Listen and understand
I'm listening
I ain't the one to play with, don't you fuck with me now
Don't you play with me, don't you fuck with me now
This ain't my first rodeo, I know what's going on now
Don't you play with me, don't you fuck with me now
I can tell you how it feels
To cry and die and stop the tears
In a broken washed up hill
The sadness that shows real bliss
Listen and understand
Listen and understand
Listen and understand
Listen and understand
I'm listening
I'm in need of satisfaction, talking about word and action
Leave it all on the floor, dripping head to toe with hella passion
Talk about transactions, talk about cameras flashing
Lined up at the door with a velvet rope like Janet Jackson
Stronger than a sequoia
Can't be drowned by the water
Got my grandma was fire
Sweeter than jambalaya
Ooh
Listen and understand
Listen and understand
I'm listening
I ain't the one to play with, don't you fuck with me now
Don't you play with me, don't you fuck with me now
This ain't my first rodeo, I know what's going on now
Don't you play with me, don't you fuck with me now
I can tell you how it feels
To cry and die and stop the tears
In a broken washed up hill
The sadness that shows real bliss
Listen and understand
Listen and understand
Listen and understand
Listen and understand
I'm listening
But let me tell you something
You brought me over here, motherfucker
I didn't want to come here
I don't even know what you brought me over here for
To work me to fucking death
And then tell me I'm ungrateful
And I won't be satisfied
Hell, no, I'm not gon' be satisfied
