Lyrics
[Intro: Georgia Anne Muldrow] I got to be understanding you, understanding me I want, I need, I got to to be Understanding you, understanding me I want, I need, I got to be Understanding you, understanding me I want, I need, I got to be Understanding you, understanding me [Verse: eLZhi] Aye, never sleep on the king with the lost crown My neighborhood was different from the ones across town Blocks flooded with packets containing yay's or liquor stores Pray you celebrate, or drink your pain away, and guzzle endlessly For weak minds drawing hustle imagery That made it hard to pull our strength from outta muscle memory Wе only thought we were sold and bought Thеy never taught the teachers how Jesus Christ has our features Before they brought us here to fail we were royalty Back then they would've rubbed my black skin while they oil me That's why the schools was fucked up from the jump Where they used to stomp you out, now they wanna grab the plump And I felt it was appealin', killin' left somebody slump In the same dump, I learned to shoot dice and dry hump Was young and misguided, smokin' a mixed hybrid My peoples fed me pork, if there was ever fish, fried it Not puttin' poisons in my body takes discipline Meditating, readin' books 'bout nutrition, when You only can afford to get you a 4 for 4 And can't order more from off the menu, the corner store Venue, or the gas station robbery probably seem doable That nightmare right there makes the dream beautiful But quite rare what is lost hope, understand Some of us crack babies 'cause our moms came across dope But never got a fair shot Understand most conspiracy theorists think that the system put it there It was their plot to break up the homes, to break up our spirits They broke our English up, we turned it to slang But that's just a dialect that I select when I hang It's not meant to be understood, especially if you join a gang And for the family, you let off every shell and casing Tryna turn a pity party to a celebration The energy from the cotton field Subconsciously is why my folks get shot and killed Think about it, when I finally have my seed I'll show him how to succeed Since he bleed the same blood of ancestors that couldn't read Before they got freed on paper And trickin' us to thinking that we were free 'cause of paper I'm 'bout to own some land and build a couple skyscrapers A few hospitals and some houses for my neighbors Understand me? [Chorus: Georgia Anne Muldrow] I want, I need, I got to be Understanding you, understanding me I want, I need, I got to be Understanding you, understanding me I want (I want), I need (I need), I got to be (I got to be) Understanding you (Understanding you), understanding me (Understanding me) I want (I want), I need (I need), I got to be (I got to be) Understanding you (Understanding you), understanding me (Understanding me) I want, I need (I need), I got to be Understanding you (Oh-oh), understanding me (Yeah) I want, I need (I need), I got to be (I got to be) Understanding you (Understanding), understanding me (You and me) [Outro: Georgia Anne Muldrow] You know I got to be Understanding you, and understanding me I got to be Understanding you, understanding me I want, I need, I got to be Understanding you, understanding me
