Satisfied

Lyrics for Satisfied

It's not something we get to choose, but it is something we get to cherish (yeah) It's something we get to wear, and we get to rock this with honor I'm black like my granddaddy and my great-great-great-great-grandmother Black is that lift every voice and sing Black is that letting your freedom ring and resound Black is adjective, adverb, color and noun (We've only just begun) Listen and understand Listen and understand Listen and understand Listen and understand I'm listening There's an adventure show You see me and you think you know Power deep down inside me grows now Listen up and I'll tell you, tell you Stronger than a sequoia Can't be drowned by the water Got my grandma was fire Sweeter than jambalaya Ooh Listen and understand Listen and understand I'm listening I ain't the one to play with, don't you fuck with me now Don't you play with me, don't you fuck with me now This ain't my first rodeo, I know what's going on now Don't you play with me, don't you fuck with me now I can tell you how it feels To cry and die and stop the tears In a broken washed-up hill The sadness that shows real bliss Listen and understand Listen and understand Listen and understand Listen and understand I'm listening I'm in need of satisfaction, talking about word and action Leave it all on the floor, dripping head to toe with hella passion Talk about transactions, talk about cameras flashing Lined up at the door with a velvet rope like Janet Jackson Stronger than a sequoia Can't be drowned by the water Got my grandma was fire Sweeter than jambalaya Ooh Listen and understand Listen and understand I'm listening I ain't the one to play with, don't you fuck with me now Don't you play with me, don't you fuck with me now This ain't my first rodeo, I know what's going on now Don't you play with me, don't you fuck with me now I can tell you how it feels To cry and die and stop the tears In a broken washed-up hill The sadness that shows real bliss Listen and understand Listen and understand Listen and understand Listen and understand I'm listening But let me tell you something You brought me over here, motherfucker I didn't want to come here I don't even know what you brought me over here for To work me to fucking death And then tell me I'm ungrateful And I won't be satisfied Hell, no, I'm not gon' be satisfied
