[verse 1: chrys jones]
i feel stuck in middle, some of y’all don’t wanna hear my views on race
my circles are mostly white people from day to day
but that doesn’t mean i don’t feel the struggles of being black in america
i’m looking around at this hysteria
seeing george floyd k!lled was a hard hit
but if i speak my mind i’m called a social marxist
instead of listening, what do some of you do?
jump into the comments and drop a link from youtube
i’m being told that i’m speaking with quite grim intent
if i say i understand what’s meant by white privilege
instead of having dialogue and a discussion
we’re sitting here debating if there’s systemic injustice
i ain’t saying i agree with all these theories
if i did though, it seems that you would choose not to hear me
and that’s the kind of stuff that i been seeing on a daily basis
while out proclaiming that i don’t believe all whites are racist

[hook: chrys jones]
please try to understand where i’m coming from
i am just a man where i’m coming from
and i am torn
please try to understand me
please try to understand where i’m coming from
i am just a man where i’m coming from
and i am torn
please try to understand me
[verse 2: chrys jones]
some of y’all think i’m a sambo, i ain’t black enough
’cause i married a white woman and i ain’t in these streets out here acting tough
the racial lines, my family is out here blurring them
but y’all are mad because i read reformers and the puritans
it’s not enough that i rap and spit the right verses
’cause i’m a token when i speak up in these white churches
you shake your head, “man, look at him disgrace, again”
because i told my white friends that whiteness ain’t a sin
i remember when you made me feel like a chump
for arguing that all white christians ain’t vote for donald trump
we say that black lives matter, but it’s k!lling me
that you demand for black folks to vote for hillary
when she supports abortion, and that is more sin
of course that industry k!lls more blacks than a trump endors*m*nt
i didn’t vote for him, either, don’t treat me like ye
i’m out here urging white people to listen to our pain

[hook: chrys jones]
please try to understand where i’m coming from
i am just a man where i’m coming from
and i am torn
please try to understand me
please try to understand where i’m coming from
i am just a man where i’m coming from
and i am torn
please try to understand me
[verse 3: chrys jones]
you see what i mean, though?
i understand what people be saying about the social justice lingo
the word of god is sufficient, it’s not a plan b
and it’s the foundation of all our understanding
that’s why i can’t rock with blm and the movement
because it’s anti*biblical in all its blueprints
in the beginning god made them male and female
it’s true when people say that the devil is in the details
they wanna k!ll the family, and get rid of our genders
they stand up with the blacks folks, but they have an agenda
but don’t misunderstand, don’t let your mind get pinned up
most people don’t know that when they’re out there to defend us
so don’t misjudge their motives, don’t forget the root
ask em what they mean and then point them to the truth
we’re made in god’s image, he gave us earth to fill it up
black lives matter, especially when they’re k!lling us
but on the flipside, don’t say all lives matter
when you don’t do that when you’re talking abortion
we know that all lives matter, but some sin is specific
and some people use that phrase just to dismiss it
all lives matter, and that’s true, and i’mma say that
but black lives haven’t seemed to matter since way back
so some people say it to remind us of that fact
that as there’s bad cops there are also some bad blacks
that means police lives matter, too, i ain’t mad at you
a dead policeman means a daughter might not have her daddy, too
we must remember this and check all of our attitudes
especially if we’re believers and we have the truth
jesus christ is our only hope in all of this
look to his throne and trust in him, not your politics
what does this mean when we talk of social justice
we need theology and practice in this discussion
jesus is lord, that is our confession
that’s why we speak up when we’re seeing oppression
we know that policies can’t change what’s inside man
and we’re not racist saying “down with the white man”
we want every man to bow down to jesus’ throne
we’re giving glory to god because it’s his alone
when the talking stops and we quit all this chitter*chatter
we need to look to christ ’cause his life really mattered
his death and resurrection must be preached with fervency
’cause we know all men will face him in eternity
and when we turn and see this sad emergency
jesus is our only hope in this uncertainty
[outro: sample]
“follow jesus and jesus alone into this moment. only jesus liberates the oppressed by abolishing oppression itself. ‘for he himself is our peace who has made us both one and has broken down in his body the dividing wall of hostility’ (eph. 2:14). sin remains the problem and jesus remains the solution, and we can never ever let that go.”
