[Verse 1 Zi] Life is short and nobody wants to go first But theyll be times in life when youll regret your own birth Cause being poor hurts And the hardest thing to understand is that its not like we dont work My Momma told me dont curse But Im just expressing the feeling of living in this cold world What am I supposed to say when homie got jumped for going out with the wrong girl Tell the family hell be late for dinner Left in a coma but it couldve been worse History repeats itself because we didnt learn And all I got is my balls and those mother fucking words Im thinking some people have no heart or maybe Cupid is not that skilled See you cant judge a man until you truly feel how he feels And I can understand But was that enough for you to kill [Chorus Zi] Theres not always a simple answer to the question why I know its hard to understand but we have to try We gotta come up with a plan cause Im tired to see us cry And this is not a one mans job Theres not always a simple answer to the question why I know its hard to understand but we have to try We gotta come up with a plan cause Im tired to see us cry And this is not a one mans job [Verse 2 Zi] I need to get up but Im too tired Then I remember last night I heard my boo crying And she deserves better so I wake up with the strength of a tiger Cause at the bottom theres no room for the weak you gotta be a true fighter 15 years old killed with a screwdriver Sometimes you literally need to be a true fighter Too many victims of unnecessary violence And its like theyll keep ignoring it until we start a new riot You see reading between lines needs to be the new science Cause the one whos selling always has the advantage on the one whos buying Thats why I flip the channel when the news is on Cause what theyre doing to the youth is wrong And if you could read my heart youd read the lyrics to my future songs [Chorus Zi] Theres not always a simple answer to the question why I know its hard to understand but we have to try We gotta come up with a plan cause Im tired to see us cry And this is not a one mans job Theres not always a simple answer to the question why I know its hard to understand but we have to try We gotta come up with a plan cause Im tired to see us cry And this is not a one mans job [Verse 3 Zi] I wish we could all just pop bottles and party But this world is a jungle and this life aint a safari Instead of keeping em in school they make em join the army Politicians with their short term visions are professionals at being sorry Some people get hurt but we dont notice cause they dont scream See baby girls a queen in her own dreams But to society shes nothing but a dope fiend So fucked up she lets the phone ring Says a lot shit she dont mean And got left out by the whole team I dont have the answer this is not me raising my hand Plus we cant agree with everything but we can try to understand And this is not a fucking brand this is who I am Fuck a dream Im trying to come up with a plan [Chorus Zi] Theres not always a simple answer to the question why I know its hard to understand but we have to try We gotta come up with a plan cause Im tired to see us cry And this is not a one mans job Theres not always a simple answer to the question why I know its hard to understand but we have to try We gotta come up with a plan cause Im tired to see us cry And this is not a one mans job
