[Chorus]

I don't understand

This shit that we go through

It's hard out here for me

I know it's hard out here for you

They don't understand

That a young nigga got struggles

I be locked up in the booth

Tryna stay away from trouble

No they don't understand, no

I got people counting on me

I know that I'm gonna make it

Cos I feel it's destined to be

[Verse 1]

I know we got it hard out here

This shit ain't what it seems

Keep your eyes open

Never lose sight of your dreams

They gon' tell you shit you don't wanna hear

But you've got to learn how to black it out

Focus on the big picture

Everything else getting crowded out

I've finally found myself and it feels so good

I would change the world right now if I could

I just wanna show the young niggas that it's possible

I just wanna show the young niggas they don't gotta be locked up or dead in a hospital

All the young niggas wanna gang bang

Thinking that that shit cool

Nigga get your money up

Lil nigga stay in school

Make momma proud of you

Pops proud too

Cos they only want the best out of you

It's inside of you

[Chorus]

But it feels like they don't understand

This shit that we go through

It's hard out here for me

I know it's hard out here for you

They don't understand

That a young nigga got struggles

I be locked up in the booth

Tryna stay away from trouble

No they don't understand, no

I got people counting on me

I know that I'm gonna make it

Cos I feel it's destined to be

[Verse 2]

They don't understand what you're going through

But you gotta find the way before you find an excuse

You, that's true

Even though it might take some time

You just gotta keep faith alive

And don't give up on nothing

You just gotta keep pushing

It's gonna pay off

It gotta pay off

So what ever you're going through

Know you're not alone my nigga

Yeah, I'm human too

That's why I wrote this song my nigga

Time on the wall still moving

And dreams come true watch me prove it

We are all in charge of our destiny

And I wanna thank God just for blessing me

[Chorus]

But it feels like they don't understand

This shit that we go through

It's hard out here for me

I know it's hard out here for you

They don't understand

That a young nigga got struggles

I be locked up in the booth

Tryna stay away from trouble

No they don't understand, no

I got people counting on me

I know that I'm gonna make it

Cos I feel it's destined to be
