Understand
Tottywat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't nobody really understand me
Nobody knows the things I'm going thru
Don't nobody really understand me
Nobody knows the pain they put me thru

Don't nobody really understand me
I'm trynna hold it in and play it cool
Don't nobody really understand me
But lately I been feeling like a fool

Don't nobody really understand me
Nobody knows the things I'm going thru
Don't nobody really understand me
Nobody knows the pain they put me thru

Don't nobody really understand me
I'm trynna hold it in and play it cool
Don't nobody really understand me
But lately I been feeling like a fool

I been thru the cold nights
Slept on the floor
I don't know who to trust
So I walked out the door

I seen some things you won't believe
I can't ignore
I got some money fancy things
I wanted more

I don't know who to trust
I feel like a fool
I don't know who to trust
But that shit was cool to me

I can't get over that, I don't know what to do no more
I feel like giving up but that's something I'll never do

Don't nobody really understand me
Nobody knows the things I'm going thru
Don't nobody really understand me
Nobody knows the pain they put me thru

Don't nobody really understand me
I'm trynna hold it in and play it cool
Don't nobody really understand me
But lately I been feeling like a fool

Don't nobody really understand me
Nobody knows the things I'm going thru
Don't nobody really understand me
Nobody knows the pain they put me thru

Don't nobody really understand me
I'm trynna hold it in and play it cool




Don't nobody really understand me
But lately I been feeling like a fool
