I Need You To Understand

Too many tears I've cried, so much pain inside But baby, it ain't gonna take too long

Too many years I've tried to keep up with the times But baby, it ain't gonna take too long

Yeah, I could be minding my business Yeah, then it seems like in minutes I get caught off by surprise

Facing my demise, and I don't know how I got caught up in it

You can give a bitch the world, she'll still cross you

Be the backbone for your dog, he'll still fault you

Yeah, you can be everything they say they need in your circle

Just know the greed mixed with the pride can't hold the disguise

One look at them guys, I recognize that they gon' hurt you

Yeah, I need you to understand them niggas ain't built like you Ain't been through shit like you

So you can't expect them to understand shit like you
