Amir Sulaiman - They Don't Know lyrics

[Chorus: Goapele] They don't know where I'm coming from they don't know They don't know where I'm coming from they don't know They don't know where I'm coming from they don't know They don't know where I'm coming from they don't know [Verse 1: Amir Sulaiman] Where we're coming is struggling, hustling Before my brothers were drug smuggling Our fore fathers were smuggled in Like raw white powder Wet black bodies Packed like packs bricks in the bottom of ships And when them ships hit the docks Like the Raw to to rock Men turned to slaves would neither forgive nor forgot So before my bullets were hustled on the block Our fore mothers were hustled on auction blocks Like stocks on Wall Street So these are our streets And I'll protect them whatever it cost me What was built on our great grandmothers back Now lays beneath our feet So it's our responsibility SO open her honor These are our streets Upon your honor these are our streets [Chorus: Goapele] They don't know where he's coming from they don't know They don't know where he's coming from they don't know Tell them where you're coming from so they know Tell them where you're coming from so they know [Verse 2: Amir Sulaiman] Live free It's easy to say But it's harder to do Gotta ittaq'illah Go hard for the truth My brothers are scare to d**h they go hard for the youth But the youth going' hard for the convertible coupe I said 'tryna go hard to converge with the crew' Converge my crew with the words of a coup I said it's cool n***a do what it do But don't give love to the system that's murdering me [Chorus: Goapele] The world is tasking me but you said keep on shining Though I feel what some could do to me If I can't have hope what's the use of being Can you see where I'm coming from you should know Can you see where I'm coming from you should know I wish for things that may not come but who knows I wish for things that may not come but who knows
