You Wouldn't Understand

The kid had to turn into the man The man had to go get them bands They told me chase the money I just got up and ran If you're not where I'm from then you wouldn't understand Understand no you wouldn't understand Prayed every day this is only God's plan The kid had to turn into the man The man had to go get them bands The hungers' real when you're starving Real dogs get to eating no barking They say they want it, but they don't real want it Cause if they did they would be up on it I'm thinking wallets-pockets-straight profit I'm thinking economic-banks and deposits I'm thinking large, this my life I'm taking charge We moving smart-I'm cutting up my mind too sharp (Way too sharp) My brother told me you better come out hard So I got out them bars like it's my first day in the yard Never fold I keep my guard, never fold don't show my cards I'm on target I'm on the mark like playing darts The kid had to turn into the man The man had to go get them bands They told me chase the money I just got up and ran If you're not where I'm from then you wouldn't understand Understand no you wouldn't understand Prayed every day this is only God's plan The kid had to turn into the man The man had to go get them bands Where I'm from, we're stuck in a cycle Stuck in a vortex, stuck in a spiral And it just keeps spinning like a record on a vinyl Friends become rivals over titles so spiteful That's wild that shit there that's not my style Y'all need to put down them rifles, y'all need to pick up some bibles That information's vital, Bless up Bless me bless you, (Bless who?) bless us The night can be dim, but get your shine on Get your grind strong, till that 9-5 gone Nothing's given its all earned, get your ass up get to work Get what's yours the reward, live that life that you deserve The kid had to turn into the man The man had to go get them bands They told me chase the money I just got up and ran If you're not where I'm from then you wouldn't understand Understand no you wouldn't understand Prayed every day this is only God's plan The kid had to turn into the man The man had to go get them bands
