[Chorus]
I don't understand
This shit that we go through
It's hard out here for me
I know it's hard out here for you
They don't understand
That a young n***a got struggles
I be locked up in the booth
Tryna stay away from trouble
No they don't understand, no
I got people counting on me
I know that I'm gonna make it
Cos I feel it's destined to be

[Verse 1]
I know we got it hard out here
This shit ain't what it seems
Keep your eyes open
Never lose sight of your dreams
They gon' tell you shit you don't wanna hear
But you've got to learn how to black it out
Focus on the big picture
Everything else getting crowded out
I've finally found myself and it feels so good
I would change the world right now if I could
I just wanna show the young n***as that it's possible
I just wanna show the young n***as they don't gotta be locked up or dead in a hospital
All the young n***as wanna gang bang
Thinking that that shit cool
N***a get your money up
Lil n***a stay in school
Make momma proud of you
Pops proud too
Cos they only want the best out of you
It's inside of you

[Chorus]
But it feels like they don't understand
This shit that we go through
It's hard out here for me
I know it's hard out here for you
They don't understand
That a young n***a got struggles
I be locked up in the booth
Tryna stay away from trouble
No they don't understand, no
I got people counting on me
I know that I'm gonna make it
Cos I feel it's destined to be

[Verse 2]
They don't understand what you're going through
But you gotta find the way before you find an excuse
You, that's true
Even though it might take some time
You just gotta keep faith alive
And don't give up on nothing
You just gotta keep pushing
It's gonna pay off
It gotta pay off
So what ever you're going through
Know you're not alone my n***a
Yeah, I'm human too
That's why I wrote this song my n***a
Time on the wall still moving
And dreams come true watch me prove it
We are all in charge of our destiny
And I wanna thank God just for blessing me
[Chorus]
But it feels like they don't understand
This shit that we go through
It's hard out here for me
I know it's hard out here for you
They don't understand
That a young n***a got struggles
I be locked up in the booth
Tryna stay away from trouble
No they don't understand, no
I got people counting on me
I know that I'm gonna make it
Cos I feel it's destined to be
