KellGoCrazy
I seen some dogs turn real flaw when they ain't got a bone
I ain't got no understanding niggas better go pick a side and know where they standing
You know these hoes a set you up dawg don't get to romantic
Don't leave your heart out in these streets they might leave it abandoned
I ain't got no understanding lot niggas still stranded
I mean I use to understand but right now ion understand what they on
When they see me they like big dawg you really put some weight on
Is it love is it hate I don't know I just let it play on
Still trying to read between the lines you know life is a book
You ain't know money was a drug then you already hooked
How these niggas still searching for gold when they already struck
Perfect example of greed shit just ain't making no sense
Those who never picked a side playing both sides of the fence
Pick a side and stand on that lil nigga that's real as it get
If you ain't in the field or in these streets don't be sending no blitz
Cuz money can't protect you when it's lit it's lit
Loss some dogs that's in these streets can't never find they way home
I seen some dogs turn real flaw when they ain't got a bone
Ion understand how they leave the whip and let me ride on my own
Some must be leading them huh
I ain't got no understanding niggas better go pick a side and know where they standing
You know these hoes a set you up dawg don't get to romantic
Don't leave your heart out in these streets they might leave it abandoned
I ain't got no understanding lot niggas still stranded
Whole lot of loss dogs prolly never find they way home
I mean I use to understand but right now ion understand what they on
When they see me they like big dawg you really put some weight on
Is it love is it hate I don't know I just let it play on
I can't lie dawg I been eating very good
They can never tell me where not to come I'm good in every hood
If they don't understand it by now ion think we'll never get it understood
Cuz all I know is keep it going you know lil engine that could
Never said that I was perfect at all but I always make the right move when they call
Why you think they calling me never see a chef in the kitchen without no recipe
Lose a couple dawgs in these streets pray that they rest in peace
Tell save a spot for me in heaven we got to ball again
Ion understand how it's hard for you to pick a side boy who you came wit
That's how I came in tea kettle these niggas done I'm trying to pop his lid
I ain't got no understanding niggas better go pick a side and know where they standing
You know these hoes a set you up dawg don't get to romantic
Don't leave your heart out in these streets they might leave it abandoned
I ain't got no understanding lot niggas still stranded
Whole lot of loss dogs prolly never find they way home
I mean I use to understand but right now ion understand what they on
When they see me they like big dawg you really put some weight on
Is it love is it hate I don't know I just let it play on
The lyrics of S.M.I.T.H.'s song "Understanding" delve into the complexities of navigating life in the streets, relationships, and personal growth. The opening lines paint a vivid picture of lost souls in the urban environment, comparing them to dogs who struggle to find their way home without a guiding force. The metaphor of a bone symbolizes the basic needs and desires that can lead individuals to compromise their values or integrity when they are deprived of them.
As the song progresses, S.M.I.T.H. reflects on the importance of clarity and decisiveness in a world where loyalty and betrayal coexist. He warns against being misled by false promises and emphasizes the need to stay grounded and aware of one's surroundings. The reference to leaving one's heart in the streets speaks to the vulnerability that comes with trusting the wrong people and the potential for being taken advantage of in such environments.
The lyrics also touch on the themes of growth and self-awareness, with S.M.I.T.H. acknowledging his own evolution and the challenges of deciphering true intentions amidst the noise of external influences. The mention of weight gain can be seen as a metaphor for personal progress and resilience in the face of adversity, while the ambiguity of love and hate reflects the complexity of human relationships and emotions.
The song concludes with a call for authenticity and integrity, urging listeners to choose a side and stay true to their principles. S.M.I.T.H. emphasizes the importance of standing firm in one's beliefs and actions, especially in the face of external pressures and temptations. Overall, "Understanding" encapsulates the struggles and triumphs of navigating a turbulent world while striving to maintain one's moral compass and sense of self.

Every University Teacher must watch this before teaching to students. Perfect, clear and neat way to explain. I request your team to continue posting such videos. Thank you so much.
@buffplums
My points exactly. As someone recently called to teach simplified communications in radio, these videos are an excellent source of refreshment of essential principles. I love the concise and pitch (for my level of interest anyway) of these videos and will take a leaf from the presentation style of these presentations.

Thanks!
@buffplums
I’m so impressed by how effective your short videos on VSWR and S Parameters are. I’m a lecturer who hasn’t worked in the field for many years but does occasionally dabble as a hobbyist. Recently I have been called upon to teach fundamental radio communications and it’s very refreshing to see these videos. Thank you.
