Gotta Understand Lyrics

{*Soul sample cut*}


"You might wanna say it" Testing "O, Ya got to understand"





[Chorus]


"what ya gotta" speak the truth for real


"you might want to say ?" "you got to understand"


We trying to tell you the deal from our perspective


The J5 collective will wreck cuz you


"You got to" keep it together and try


"you might want to say ?" but you "you got to understand"


We're more than meets the third eye, words fly


Reppin' from the bird's eye view





[Akil]


I ain't hating I just heard better


Up the ante on the game and apply the pressure


Understand I was a fan


Before I was a member of your favorite rap band


Understand that I'm still a fan





[Soup]


And you can keep playing after the fact


Related to the game and came after crack


Cuz every nigga I know is out ta get a plaque


So why you wanna go and do that, huh?





[Chali 2na]


I don't know man cuz we see fiends who dream c.r.e.a.m


Reppin' the west through special effects and green screens


And it seems you need to be the one to flash that cannon


Or sign the autographs till the last cat's standing





[Marc 7even]


Brother pass that action, and your trashin' is real


Your only way of coming up is probably inking a deal


While your thinking the skills, some are thinking the mills


In a never-ending quest ta get the house on the hill


AND THAT'S REAL





[Chorus]





[Akil]


I need some understanding in this world between me and my girl


She want the diamonds and the pearls to be a part of my world


Twenty four-sev, but love don't pay the rent


So love me when I'm home and cherish the moment





[Chali 2na]


Uh-Huh


Cuz some of you women are men's mirrors


I know some women who dodge balls like Ben Stiller


Please understand, it's not to offend or seem bitter


But every queen, need a king wit her





[Soup - singing]


Ms. Thing I don't know, but ever I leave you ready to go


My Momma told me about how it flow


But I didn't wanna listen but she told me so


Now if it ever came to the bank account


Who'd ya pack ya things and get up and bounce


These the type of things that I be thinking about


To all my other fellas "you got to understand"





[Chorus]





[Chali 2na]


At all times I try to do what the smartest guy do


It's cuz I see the world from the Artist eye view


You live life the next part is you die, too


And there's no one on this earth it doesn't apply to





[Soup]


Now that's true, cuz every single day I live


I'm obligated just ta say it like it T-I is


And I ain't gon talk about no cat whose decision is poor


Trust me man my hand is just as dirty as yours





[Marc 7even]


Either they like you, or they hype you, it's a cycle


Choices that we make in the vi-tal


Cuz in the blink of an eye it can all go awry


And the next man will quickly take your title





[Akil]


Yeah, between me and myself and all of these things


Understanding is a theme when we doing our thing


From the job to my queen and chasing my dream


The whole world needs a little bit of understanding





[Chorus(w/ad-libs from Akil)
