Dedicated to every black woman who has had her heart broken. We got us.

lyrics

Who Got Us ©2020 Dominique Jones

Verse 1:
The most disrespected, most neglected
The most affected, unprotected
How long will you sit by?
The one who sacrificed and gave you life
Who’s once again on the front lines
Who hears us when we cry out

Pre-Chorus
Love black women protect black women
Not just when you wanna sex black women
Receive black women, Believe black women
How long are you gonna leave black women

Chorus:
Who got us, let me know
If you got us, let me know
Who got us, let me know
If you got us, let it show

Rap
Respecting only the women that you’re feeling ain’t respect
And yet you only call queen the chick you think you keep in check
You’re not a king, still a clown if you only see my crown
When I’m moaning making sounds and it’s your seed that I ingest
WIntercede on your behalf, if you only did the math
You’d see the numbers on forgiveness, devotion are unmatched
What’s your appeal when you approach, tryna be equally yoked
Not just with lovers with my bros, when will you all clean up your act?
The system brings you harm and we're the first ones at your back
Yet you still gon’ break our hearts when we’re assertive bout what lacks
You can turn up for a game, you can turn up for some stacks?
Then turn up for black queens, yo Eric turn up the track
Been a cut above many, been ahead of the pack
Given love you to you plenty, now I’m busy with the facts
Been gifted and driven and nothing has ever stopped us
But can you tell your mothers, sistas, lovers who got us?

Chorus:
Who got us, let me know
If you got us, let me know
Who got us, let me know
If you got us, let it show

Bridge:
Gotta say it plain ‘cause oppressors keep on playing us
Message I’m conveying so that you can feel weight of us
When we on our knees at night pleading who is we prayin for
Black man got me wondering what I’m staying for
Lauryn said it then it could all be so simple
Bullet to my temple, I’m always gon’ pick you
But will you choose me too?

Chorus:
Who got us, let me know
If you got us, let me know
Who got us, let me know
If you got us, let it show
