understand - cantrell lyrics

[intro]
mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
uh, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-da-da-da
mm
yeah, yeah
pull up

[verse 1]
look, pull up chair
i got some things i wanna put in your ear
get close so you’ll hear me clear
you got a light, you should handle with care, peep
i got question for you, you remember your first fight?
your first love or first lay or first flight?
your first loss or the first time you got high
or warm house with heated stove on cold nights?
what about your first time that you felt hate?
or what about your first time that you felt god?
the point is, it can’t last if it’s only pain
i’ve danced in heavy rain and seen the sun shine
i feel you, you feeling down and feeling sad
like qbs with no speed, it’s gotta p-ss
it’s no breeze, i’m no saint, i’m just a man
i’m just here let you know that i understand

[chorus]
it takes time to understand
that life ain’t promised, i mean i understand
we learn from it, i know, but understand
understand that we never really understand
it takes time to understand
that life ain’t promised, i mean i understand
we learn from it, i know, but understand
understand that we- yeah

[verse 2]
plant a seed, do the work, grow a tree
sewing seams, on point like folded knees
poetries, quarter keys, hood floetry
ole-es, dark brown, i drew these therapies
woe is me, many problems that really no one sees
go with me, carry baggage that really no one needs
let it breathe, ’til you feel at ease
until they believe, i give you more of me
see, i been looking for guidance, i been running from problems
i been racking up mileage, i been slipping and falling
get a text from my father, i’m inclined to ignore it
but i only get one of ’em, maybe i should’ve called?
forget it, another story of a black boy lost
how many stories you done heard thus far?
we only go so far, it’s the road it’s the journey and all
and goal is why we go so hard, but i know it takes time

[interlude]
what ya know good youngin?
i see what’s going on with ya and just wanted you to know
that the devil can’t hold no power over you
the devil never even lived
i ain’t saying he didn’t exist
i’m just saying he ain’t come and do what son of joseph did
remember that
that negative energy can’t phase you if you keep a positive mind and spirit
stay the course
you’re not what you go through
but what you go through helps make you who you are
through the known and unexplained
stay the course, youngin
stay the course
