I Don’t Understand
[Intro]
Man I'm happy to be here man
I thank the judge man
She gave your boy a chance to come out here and get these millions man
Like why y’all wanna slander my name man
Real rap man, can you pay your mom's bills man
Is your mom safe, right now
I need seven hundred right now electric bill is high as shit
You can't do nothing you in the house writing rants about me
[?]
You done, you sick you can’t even pay your moms bills
Now she got candlelight dinners every night man
[?] shit gonna be like this
[?] and I'm gonna show it to you, like what
I'm back out here man
[Verse 1]
They only miss you when you're gone
They only love you when you're gone
The crackheads only miss me when I'm gone
The fans only love me for my songs
Police always trying to lock me in a cage
If I can't travel how the fuck I'm gonna get paid?
And mom dukes need a couple froggies on the rent
You fucked up blowing all your money getting bent
Gram dukes only got a couple days left
Trying to keep it cool, it’s a lot on your chest
Pop dukes in a coma hooked up to machines
Trying to keep it cool, how the fuck I’m supposed to think
Baby sis just had a baby premature
Probation still trying to hang me on a cross
Miss Anderson said she didn't understand
Tell me how the fuck I’m supposed to take care of the fam
If I'm dead broke and I'm locked up in a can
[Chorus]
Can't even roll up a strand, I don’t understand
I'm locked in a jam and I don't understand
(Yo I'm doing everything right)
Ain't got no commissary, I don't understand
(Taking care of the family, the kids, making sure everybody's straight)
My mom dukes miss me, I don't understand
(Shit's difficult though)
[Verse 2]
I can't even walk up out the house past nine
Ask me how I'm doing, Imma say I'm doing fine (Shit I'm good)
Even though I know it's a chance I'm going up
Caught by myself ain't nobody showing up
Stressed out for real but I'm playing for the best
In the lab heavy trying to get it off my chest
I used to play the block with a thirty and a vest
I know if fuck n***as try and put the lord to rest
Mom dukes praying for her baby every night
You know I'm in the field hope nobody take his life
My family really can't afford another loss
I work too hard for them to nail me on a cross
I been through the worst I'm just playing for the best
I'm just hoping that I don't get caught up in the mess
I played my cards right but this a game of chess
Imma keep it going until there ain't nothing left
I'm still blessed
[Chorus]
I'm stretched out, I don't understand
My family ain't got caught, I don't understand
(Where everybody at man?)
Nobody picking up the phone, I don't understand
Come see me, I don't understand
I showed so much love, I don't understand
Nobody ever showed it back I don't understand
Man where my family at I don't understand
It's a lot of shit I don't understand
(Know what I'm saying?)
