Understand
grit boyz lil keke and hawk Lyrics

Try to understand, all the shit that I've been through
Requesting empathy for past struggles

Try to understand, I got a life to live too
Stating that the singer has their own life to prioritize

Try to understand, I got problems but I feel you
Acknowledging that everyone has their own difficulties
