Gotham and Solomon - Don't Understand lyrics
rate meYeah, good gracious we're good natured
But the fact remains the hood raised us
Remember Nana laced my shoe lace up
Cooked porridge the food ate up
A young buck..Eh..a true brave heart
Learned to save the crumbs that you scraped up
Sorry moms, my habits disgraced you
I’m just trying to fill my food plate up
Sorry pops, you made what you gave up
And it’s past the prayer that could save us
Do you hate us? You hate us
And you hate to see the Jews draped up
New Jacob, new paper
Tented up in a brand new coupe laid up
And I got my eyes on a few acres
Yeah, 40 acres and a mule
Big backyard with a lake and a view
Four garages, elevators, many rooms
Uhhh, I stay away from interviews
They don’t know what it took
So they’re sayin in the news
Oh he’s just another rapper
Using race as an excuse
Well let’s trade places, come fit up in my shoes
Or we could trade faces, now look up in the mirror
If you’re seeing what I’m seeing then it’s me in front of you
Hook:
You don't understand my life,
You don't understand my life,
You don't understand my life
Girls be coming into the morning light,
You don't understand my life,
You don't understand my life,
You don't understand my life,
I’ll be making beats till the morning light.
It's like this, for relief we like to light kush
Former leaders acting like Bush
And them people dying like woosh
Bodies washing up in them bushes
No Kanye, well that’s bullshit
New religions prophesize Reagan
They’re still Pagans, they’re still sayin’
They’re color blind but their money is still racist
Even a blind man could see the big faces
When I walk in the bank I feel hatred
Yeah, I’m the rap Phil Jackson
Everywhere I go I’m in the block still asking
You still rappin? I’m still at it
I still raps like Nas, I’m illmatic
I’m from the US, you hear that accent?
[Hook:]
