Understand Me Lyrics

I thank God for my mother

Hope she knows how much I love her

When it's time to pray, she won't mumble or stutter

She knew that I was loading but she didn't ever buffer

Gave me love with joy even though I made her suffer

And my pops too, food on the table every supper

Long drive to the cousin's, in the night playing Usher

The things I took for granted, the truth hurts

Miss the times it was plimsolls, p.e and blue shirts

Now some friends have passed away

Now even on sunny days the sun is hitting my face

But the sky is looking grey, told me hold my head high

But it's hard just looking straight

When there's, blood all on your mates

And death got higher rates, now school just ain't the same

No it ain't no fun and games, same stuff, different day

My friend just passed away now I can't concentrate

Sent out like a disgrace but

It's gonna be okay, that sentence is cliche

What a shame I didn't have a therapist to take notes from

But they're still expecting me to change now I'm numb

And the closest thing to life is feeling pain

Have you ever felt dead with blood running through your veins

Have you ever been free but held by mental chains

Have you ever caught the bus, when you could have caught the train

But long journeys ease the grief, all in needed was the grace

Now I'm visiting the grave, and the cycle starts again

Have you ever found it hard to speak

Crying on your knees, sentence incomplete

But inside the words are uppercase

Have you found it hard to walk, like beginner rollerskates

Trying to work it out, while carrying heavy weights

Teen years made me age you can see it in my face

You can see it in my eyes, you can hear it in the bass

I was hungry at lunchtime but I couldn't eat the plate

And I couldn't talk about it cause I grew on the estate

Cause I know drillers that would slap it in your face

Most them jiggas in the can, no they didn't graduate

Cause you can't be a joker they will jack all of your trades

And if your hustling for wage you still gotta keep a blade

Now I've got friends, and they stick closer than a brother

Not the same mother, but I know we'll always have each other

I just wish my old friends could really see so they discover

The peace that Jesus breathes, it ain't like any other

I've had tribulations pass, used to hide it with a mask

Life was going downhill like Ferdi why you coming fast

Almost crashed at the start, but I prayed to the Lord

Holy Spirit taking charge, and He's working on my heart

Now you don't get a second chance, will you scream or will you dance

It's a warning in advance, you'll receive it when you ask

I prayed with open arms, and I gave my life to God

Now I'm singing all the psalms, I can feel Him in my palms

Broad ain't the way to go, come and get this water in the farm

Where the shepherd keeps the sheep away from harm

You can take all that I own, and stick a bullet in my dome

I know Jesus on the throne so I'll be happy going home

And every seed I've ever sown, will get watered till it's grown

All the love I've ever shown will penetrate into the bone

And you will always have a friend in God, you'll never be alone

Eternal life after death, hear me through the microphone, uh

I just wanna understand you

I wanna understand you, understand you
