Zi - Try To Understand [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Zi]
Life is short and nobody wants to go first
But they'll be times in life when you'll regret your own birth
Cause being poor hurts
And the hardest thing to understand is that it's not like we don't work
My Momma told me don't curse
But I'm 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 he'll be late for dinner
Left in a coma but it could've been worse
History repeats itself because we didn't learn
And all I got is my balls and those mother fucking words
I'm thinking some people have no heart or maybe Cupid is not that skilled
See you can't judge a man until you truly feel how he feels
And I can understand
But was that enough for you to kill

[Chorus: Zi]
There's not always a simple answer to the question why
I know it's hard to understand but we have to try
We gotta come up with a plan cause I'm tired to see us cry
And this is not a one man's job
There's not always a simple answer to the question why
I know it's hard to understand but we have to try
We gotta come up with a plan cause I'm tired to see us cry
And this is not a one man's job

[Verse 2: Zi]
I need to get up but I'm 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 there's 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 it's like they'll keep ignoring it until we start a new riot
You see reading between lines needs to be the new science
Cause the one who's selling always has the advantage on the one who's buying
That's why I flip the channel when the news is on
Cause what they're doing to the youth is wrong
And if you could read my heart you'd read the lyrics to my future songs

[Chorus: Zi]
There's not always a simple answer to the question why
I know it's hard to understand but we have to try
We gotta come up with a plan cause I'm tired to see us cry
And this is not a one man's job
There's not always a simple answer to the question why
I know it's hard to understand but we have to try
We gotta come up with a plan cause I'm tired to see us cry
And this is not a one man's job

[Verse 3: Zi]
I wish we could all just pop bottles and party
But this world is a jungle and this life ain't 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 don't notice cause they don't scream
See baby girl's a queen in her own dreams
But to society she's nothing but a dope fiend
So fucked up she lets the phone ring
Says a lot shit she don't mean
And got left out by the whole team
I don't have the answer this is not me raising my hand
Plus we can't agree with everything but we can try to understand
And this is not a fucking brand this is who I am
Fuck a dream I'm trying to come up with a plan

[Chorus: Zi]
There's not always a simple answer to the question why
I know it's hard to understand but we have to try
We gotta come up with a plan cause I'm tired to see us cry
And this is not a one man's job
There's not always a simple answer to the question why
I know it's hard to understand but we have to try
We gotta come up with a plan cause I'm tired to see us cry
And this is not a one man's job
