Understand
Schwizzle D.A.W.G. & Shapeless Noob Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't understand why they treat me like I don't deserve the fame
Why they treat me like they never knew my name
Don't understand why they wanna see me
Stuck where I am
Or why they capping like they never was a fan
Don't understand why you only call when you're alone
Or why my number still ain't saved up in yo phone
Don't understand
No, I don't understand, I don't understand
Won't take me seriously enough cause I won't rap a certain way
But they was bumpin' twin like just the other day
They don't like me cause I make sure that I
Stay out the way
But like, what the fuck they want for me to say
Am I supposed to say it's up with yall when y'all don't fuck with me
The truth is ugly
Like how they lied to me instead of plugging me
They lucky I'm respectable cause I could air it out
They know exactly the shit I'm talking bout
Ain't enough hours in the day for me to
Live how I wanna
I been ducking from the music biz I
Feel like Rihanna
Don't nobody stick around so you can go if you wanna
I been grinding hella hard sweat like I'm up in a sauna
Am I not going hard enough for them to pay attention
Or am I speaking on some shit that end up raising tension
Like how you all up in my dms but ignore my mentions
Is you starting drama now cause you know when they fishing
I don't understand why they treat me like I don't deserve the fame
Why they treat me like they never knew my name
Don't understand why they wanna see me
Stuck where I am
Or why they capping like they never was a fan
Don't understand why you only call when you're alone
Or why my number still ain't saved up in yo phone
Don't understand
No I don't understand, I don't understand
Said I don't understand why they treat me like I don't deserve the fame
Why they treat me like they never knew my name
Don't understand why they wanna see me
Stuck where I am
Or why they capping like they never was a fan
Don't understand why you only call when you're alone
Or why my number still ain't saved up in yo phone




Don't understand
No I don't understand, I don't understand
