Jahaziel - They Don't Know lyrics

rate me

They don’t know, they don’t know

They don’t know what we go through

Every day we keep on dying

They don’t care, they don’t care

Shut their ears and close their eyes

Only God can hear us crying

I’m from the bits where kids there have been known to disappear

Some roam with knives and chrome ‘cause they live in fear

While on the corners the poor men are sipping beer

Begging for change, same pain just a different year

Yeah, now come picture the landscape

Victims of gang rape and kids tryna bad way

They flip like the pancakes so arguments end with arms extended

In peace but it’s not a handshake

They peel back and let the still clap, some wanna escape but feel trapped

This is real rap, kicking drums ain’t easy when you got no CV

Just a record, but not no CD

I see these guys remaining in the same spot

Instead of changing they complaining what they ain’t got

Stop! Transformation is the job at hand

They say we can’t but my faith’s in the God that got me

They don’t know, they don’t know

They don’t know what we go through

Every day we keep on dying

They don’t care, they don’t care

Shut their ears and close their eyes

Only God can hear us crying

It seems like we don’t like love

From streets to school, neighborhoods to night clubs

Too much of these young Gs on the high rough

They done beef with just one squeeze and let the power off

I like them for make the universe rise up

I done know far ready pon who live to find jobs

…these preachers is tryna thief from believers

And make it all for the people to find God

Some find it odd, they wanna know how come

You move to the hood most try to move out from

I’m sure it … take a break, get out the trap without an ounce of crap

They needed loots and excuse but I won’t give

I know one too many youths doing life for this

I know one too many daddies who deny their kids

That’s why I’m standing in the valley screaming dry bones live

They don’t know, they don’t know

They don’t know what we go through

Every day we keep on dying

They don’t care, they don’t care

Shut their ears and close their eyes

Only God can hear us crying

Yeah Lord, only He can hear me holler

Here today, no guarantee I’m gonna be here tomorrow

Gotta celebrate life, every day another heart seizes

If we can’t see that’s ‘cause we don’t wanna

Time to rediscover teachings that Jesus brought us

To fix and watch, we have God, how we treat each other

Would we feed a brother if we see him suffer?

If we do, that doesn’t mean that our responsibility is covered

No, plain and simple as I can put it

Raising a generation whose ways are sinful and crooked

Play games till the bill came and I couldn’t afford it

Moved by grey, saw a route of escape and I took it

It’s a new day, let’s do this thing, Lord switched up the ways that I used to think

You can force any horse to the water but in order for the horse to see change

Gotta choose to drink!

They don’t know, they don’t know

They don’t know what we go through

Every day we keep on dying

They don’t care, they don’t care

Shut their ears and close their eyes

Only God can hear us crying

They don’t know, they don’t know

They don’t know what we go through

Every day we keep on dying

They don’t care, they don’t care

Shut their ears and close their eyes

Only God can hear us crying
