Lyrics You Don't Understand - Lil Rob

You Don't Understand

You’ve been a man without a plan
And just because you are
Doesn’t make you less a man
Get up and do somethin'
Before you lose somethin'
Get yourself an education
If you wanna prove somethin'
Yeah you’re pretty bad, right?
Leave you in the dark
Left behind without a flashlight
Blinded, criminal minded
So you’ve been blind sided
Where’d all the time go?
Probably like a slideshow
Put down the pipa
Pick up a book
You might surprised
And realize that’s all it took
Be optimistic and listen
And see your vision
It’s right in front of you
It’s up to you it’s your decision
Read what’s written
You’ve been blind
And you can’t see
All the things that you could be
Looking back, it’s killing me
Cause you’re not where you should be
Hey homeboy you don’t understand (you don’t understand)
And I can’t understand (and I can’t understand why)
Why you don’t understand (Why you don’t understand)
That you can be a better man (That you can be a better man)
Hey homeboy you don’t understand
Open your eyes
And look at the bigger picture
There’s more to you
You’re more than what’s been written in the scripture
Take a look around
See what’s going down
And try to understand the world is bigger than your town
Don’t you wanna be a better person?
Do all you can
Be all you can be
Just to be a better man
Live and learn
But at the same time learn to live
Learn to give
The future is the kids
That’s what it is
Take a good look at yourself
And tell me what you see
Tell me why you don’t see the same things as me
You need to wake up wake up shape up
Shape up and ship out
Face up lace up, let’s go
You’ve been blind
And you can’t see
All the things that you could be
Looking back, it’s killing me
Cause you’re not where you should be
Hey homeboy you don’t understand (you don’t understand)
And I can’t understand (and I can’t understand why)
Why you don’t understand (Why you don’t understand)
That you can be a better man (That you can be a better man)
Hey homeboy you don’t understand
Your actions have consequences
Learn your lesson change direction
Make corrections
Know the answer to the question
Before it’s asked to you
No excuses
You just have to do what you have to do
If you don’t want to
Then once again I’ve lost you
But in the long run holmes
It’s gonna cost you
You may not see it now
May not believe it now
I can guarantee it though
Sígale míralo
Pobrecito el hombre en el espejó
With no clue what to do
The best way out is always through
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow’s a mystery
And today?
Today’s a gift
That’s why we call it the present
You’ve been blind
And you can’t see
All the things that you could be
Looking back, it’s killing me
Cause you’re not where you should be
Hey homeboy you don’t understand (you don’t understand)
And I can’t understand (and I can’t understand why)
Why you don’t understand (Why you don’t understand)
That you can be a better man (That you can be a better man)
Hey homeboy you don’t understand
