Figure It Out
French Montana Feat. Kanye West & Nas Lyrics

No matter how many times I've tried to you
No matter how much I try to tell the truth

I can't lie to you, I can't lie to you
I cannot deceive you, I cannot deceive you

I never lied to you I can't
I have never been dishonest with you, I am incapable of it

Can't lie y'all, he disrespected y'all
I cannot deceive you all, he showed disrespect to all of you

Uh, just like a nigga, go figure
It's typical behavior for a black man, it's not surprising

Some shit they said they might never figure
There are some things that people said they may never understand

Mo' figures, more hating ass niggas
The more money people have, the more haters they encounter

Mo' commas, more hating ass problems
The more money people have, the more issues they encounter

Coming from the back block, posted like a backdrop
I come from a poor neighborhood, standing in the background

Rags to the riches, got rich and bought the rack top
I went from poverty to wealth and bought a fancy car

Lot of homies died here, look at what the grind did
A lot of my friends passed away due to the hardships we faced

Put me in the same shoes, still do what Shyne did
Even if I were in the same situation, I would still make the same choices as Shyne did

More bitches, more bitches, more riches
More women, more women, more wealth

They don't want no broke niggas
Women do not want men who are financially struggling

But don't call them gold diggers
Although they desire wealth, do not call them opportunistic

I don't know, I don't know, why I ain't get the picture?
I do not understand why I did not see the truth

Why Cosby slipped her?
Why did Cosby use drugs to incapacitate his victim?

Why I fucked 'em both when they said they sisters?
Why did I have intercourse with both of them, even though they claimed to be siblings?

Why Eazy ain't have the Magic?
Why did Eazy not have the same level of success as Magic Johnson?

Why AI never won a 'ship?
Why did Allen Iverson never win a championship?

And why God took Max and Chinx
Why did God allow Max and Chinx to die?

And he ain't take me when I got hit?
Why did God spare my life when I was shot?

Beyond Pérignon, the fame, the money
Aside from expensive champagne, fame, and wealth

The Baccarat crystal that's hanging from the ceilings above me
The expensive glassware that decorates my surroundings

Hearing people whisper, screaming I'm lucky but trust me
Hearing people comment on my good fortune, but they underestimate my hard work

Nothing come free, shawty tried to keep my son from me
Nothing in life is free, someone attempted to prevent me from seeing my child

Or I could be delirious to take life serious
I could possibly be out of touch with reality for taking life too seriously

Remain single forever, can't wife nothing, period
I will remain unmarried indefinitely, I cannot commit to anyone

I'm a G, I need privacy, media's never kind to me
I am a gangster, I require privacy, the media never portrays me positively

Niggas beefing on small time things, we on a dying spree
People are fighting over insignificant matters, our community is facing a high rate of deaths

He disrespected y'all
He showed disrespect to all of you

Just like a nigga, go figure
It's typical behavior for a black man, it's not surprising

He talking reckless, yo
He is speaking in a disrespectful manner

I can't accept it, yo
I cannot tolerate it

For the love of my people, I guess I'll let it go
Out of love and respect for my community, I will overlook the disrespect

I can't figure it out
I cannot understand or comprehend it
