[Intro: H.E.R.]
Can we try for a moment?
Ooh (Can we try?)
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh
No, no, no, no, no

[Verse 1: H.E.R.]
Bloody waters
Drowning every day
Every day
Feels like I'm runnin' in slow-motion
And I'm losing the race, oh-oh

[Pre-Chorus: H.E.R.]
Ooh, so frustrating
Ooh, you keep on taking
Ooh, corporate racists
Ooh, got me praying
'Cause all I hear is sirens from every way
Every way, yeah

[Chorus: H.E.R.]
Can't make no sense about it
Tired of hearing about it
We ain't talking about it
We don't wanna see
Can't make no sense about it
Get so anxious about it
We keep talking around it
Reassess it, yeah
Speculate caution signs
Incriminatе people's minds
War and love don't combinе
Destiny doesn't roll the dice
Watch your back, save me mine
Under attack, spiritual kind
Where you stand, you decide
Destiny doesn't roll the dice

[Post-Chorus: H.E.R.]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh (Oh)
Ooh-ooh (Yeah)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh (Oh)
Ooh-ooh (Ooh)
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 2: H.E.R.]
Bloody waters
Baptize me
Can't stand the rain
Yeah, yeah
Oh, Lord
Please come save me
From all of this pain, pain, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: H.E.R.]
Reparations
Ooh, no conversation
Ooh, insensitive maybe
Ooh, times ain't changing (Times ain't changing)
No, people marching, no one's there to lead (Uh)
Someone give me somethin' to believe, yeah

[Chorus: H.E.R.]
Can't make no sense about it (No, we can't)
Tired of hearing about it (Oh, baby)
We ain't talking about it (Oh-oh)
We don't wanna see (We don't wanna see)
Can't make no sense about it (Can't make no sense)
Get so anxious about it (Oh-oh)
We keep talking around it (We keep talking)
Reassess it, yeah
Speculate caution signs (Caution signs)
Incriminate people's minds (People's minds)
War and love don't combine
Destiny doesn't roll the dice
Watch your back, save me mine
Under attack, spiritual kind
Where you stand, you decide
Destiny doesn't roll the dice (No, it don't)

[Post-Chorus: H.E.R.]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

H.E.R is an acronym for the phrase Having Everything Revealed, which is used as a moniker by Gabriella Wilson. The singer, who is signed to RCA Records was known for keeping her real identity under

“The mystery is a metaphor of who I am, of who I was at the time of creating the project. I feel like oftentimes we don’t like to be open as people about out emotions or things that we are going through. At the time [of recording], I was very closed off except for when I was writing or when I was in the studio.”

First showing up on the scene at SoundCloud when she dropped her first EP in 2016, H.E.R., Vol 1, followed up with H.E.R., Vol. 2. Her music is mixed with inspirations of R&B, hip-hop, and soul.
