[Intro]
They don't understand
They don't understand
My n***a
Swear to God, they don't understand

[Verse 1]
N***as go from playing ball to slanging raw and passing rocks
It's hard to come up when you don't have a lot
9 to 5, n***as was down, we couldn't brag a lot
And half the time, homicide tape covered half the block
We was never scared though, posted like a scarecrow
My pockets shoulda said rest in peace, I was dead broke
We was hungry, just tryna eat, but they said no
Steady pacin', life is a race and nobody said go
But fuck it, I ain't givin' up
I'm loyal I ain't switchin' up
Rather die like a fuckin' man before I live and duck
They ain't never there when a n***a stuck
Just remember who cared when they ain't give a fuck
I'm never lackin', even though I know shit could happen
I'ma flip the napkin, movin' forward ain't goin' backwards
But I get distracted by these bitches, don't know what happened
They get inside of my head, and I go missing in action, but

[Hook]
You don't understand, my n***a
You don't understand, my n***a
You don't understand
I wanna be the man, my n***a
I wanna be the man, my n***a
I just wanna be the man
You don't understand
You don't understand
I tried to tell 'em my n***a, but they don't understand
You don't understand, my n***a
You don't understand, my n***a
[Verse 2]
You ever wake up hungry, but you go to sleep full
And to make your money, you sell your soul to evil
And a lot of n***as do it 'cause they wanna be cool
They just wanna get money, I'm like n***a me too
And, I ain't got no beef with nobody, nah I ain't into that
But I ain't playing games, no monopoly, where my chicken at?
I will let the Smith & Wesson put men in black
And show up to the funeral stuntin' like "Where the bitches at?"
I thought I told you that we won't stop
I thought I told you that we won't stop
I thought I told you that
I thought I told you that we won't stop
And n***as frontin' like we won't pop
Na na na
And I ain't gon' feel comfortable until I could say
I gotta a couple hundred bands
Got a couple hundred bands
And n***as they don't fuck with you
I'll tell you what my n***a, you don't understand

[Hook]
You don't understand, my n***a
You don't understand, my n***a
You don't understand
I wanna be the man, my n***a
I wanna be the man, my n***a
I just wanna be the man
You don't understand
You don't understand
I tried to tell 'em my n***a, but they don't understand
You don't understand, my n***a
You don't understand, my n***a
[Verse 3]
Tried to give her my heart, but she wanted the bag
I always had to ball, shit that I wanted to have
Back when I was spitting bullshit, now I know it was trash
They said I was goin' hard, when they really wanted to laugh
Tellin' me they never hatin', when I know they probably wait to see me stumble
King of the jungle, I know they lyin', fakin'
Tellin' me to be patient but n***a I ain't waitin'
Try and stop me, they wanna pop me, but n***a I ain't bacon
I'm just sayin' they wanna cut me but they can't cut no deeper
Life is a bitch, I wouldn't trust her neither
Thought that I was in the right lane, for that money train
But they just threw me on a track, like a fuckin' feature
And I'm a ape, that's why I fuck with Caesar
Ric Flair, I'm my brother's keeper
Trippie Rell, Bennie D, YFN, I'm the n***a with the hoodie
Fuck the reaper

[Hook]
You don't understand, my n***a
You don't understand, my n***a
You don't understand
I wanna be the man, my n***a
I wanna be the man, my n***a
I just wanna be the man
You don't understand
You don't understand
I tried to tell 'em my n***a, but they don't understand
You don't understand, my n***a
You don't understand, my n***a
