Understand Me
[Chorus: TXS]
You just wanna get a bag, yeah, I understand
(Hope you understand baby)
You just wanna do your thing for your family
(Love you, I love you, I love you, I swear I love you)
I know life can be a drag, especially for a black man
But you just get home safe, understand me?
Understand me?

[Verse 1: TXS]
Can't lie, boy I love you, you the man
I be checkin' for you, I be checkin' for you
And I know you out here doin' what you can
My respect is for you, my respect is for you
But you know I can't sleep unless I know that you're okay, okay
And when you're not with me I'm sending all my prayers your way
I ain't judging you my baby

[Chorus: TXS]
You just wanna get a bag, yeah, I understand
(Hope you understand baby)
You just wanna do your thing for your family
(Love you, I love you, I love you, I swear I love you)
I know life can be a drag, especially for a black man
Oh but you just get home safe, understand me?
Understand me?
Understand me?
But you just get home safe, understand me?
Understand me?
[Verse 2: TXS]
Chances out here, you takin' chances out here
Bae you not coming back home, it's the only thing that I fear
I try to give you your own space, don't be all up in your ear
Pray that the days turn into months and the months turn into years
Just to want to cry sometimes
Thinking 'bout the possibilities that be killing me, they don't ever leave
All up in my feelings but not all up in your business
Hustling is good but don't mean shit if you not with us

[Chorus: TXS]
You just wanna get a bag, yeah, I understand
(Hope you understand baby)
You just wanna do your thing for your family
(Love you, I love you, I love you, I swear I love you)
I know life can be a drag, especially for a black man
But you just get home safe, understand me?
Understand me?
Understand me?
But you just get home safe, understand me?

[Verse 3: Mike Smiff]
You know how we record in the bathroom last year Rico, huh
When I be out here in these streets, girl I know you trippin'
I know you miss me and I can tell by your hugs and kisses
You kiss me like you tryna do me
Hug me like you scared to lose me
Keep a big bankroll on me
And you know it come from more than music
You know I'm thuggin'
But you don't judge me 'cause you love me
And you don't care about all this money
'Cause you really got feelings for me
And you would trade in all the purses, all the jewelry, and all the heels
If that guaranteed when you woke up in the morning I'd be here
And girl that's real
That's why I love you and respect you how I do
And I hate that I run up your blood pressure how I do
I'm in these trenches where they dealin' and they robbin' and they stealin'
Never mind the fact the police out here doin' all this killin', I know you get it
[Chorus: TXS]
You just wanna get a bag, yeah, I understand
(Hope you understand baby)
You just wanna do your thing for your family
(Love you, I love you, I love you, I swear I love you)
I know life can be a drag, especially for a black man
But you just get home safe, understand me?
Understand me?

[Outro: Mike Smiff]
I already know when the phone ring late night your heart drop baby
You know I resent the fact that I put you in this position, you know
You deserve better but it's gon' get greater later, you dig?
