What’s Understood Lyrics

[Intro]
True story
(Jahlil Beats, holla at me)

[Verse 1]
Saturday, a few missed calls while the TV on but I'm not watchin'
My brother readin' car magazines, really into cars, like rim shoppin'
Obama just been re-elected, who gives a fuck when the coke dry?
Dope high, gettin' less for shows, gotta branch off into different markets
This means being cautious, all types of people in large assortments
Erick on the phone and he callin' me collect
Got his motion for discovery and he ain't even stressed
Witness was victim of a random act of violence
Nigga pulled up on the side of him and shot him in the neck
I'm a street gang project legend, trap house line like we sell concession
GPS in foreign whips make me don't even need directions
Found a line, got activated, pints of Actavis six hundred
Fuck a tour bus, I might pull up I'm my white CL600
With my front girl out of town who love me way before the money, Gates

[Chorus]
You niggas insecure
I don't even listen
What's understood need not be explained if you really live it
Rollin' 'round my hood they speakin' like they rollin' with me
What's understood need not be explained if you really live it
My baby mamas keep it the realer than my fuckin' niggas
What's understood need not be explained if you really live it
Three in the liter when I'm drinkin', that's just how I sip it
What's understood need not be explained if you really live it (Lucas Brasi)
[Verse 2]
If I'm dead broke, would you lend somethin'?
Thought I'd quit thuggin' 'til my ribs touchin
Up town Deezy he a six somethin'
Like a pit, up the four fifth fuckin'
My bitch ugly, ol' fine ass
Ridin' past, you know, big stuntin'
You could fuck around and get bit stuntin'
Handshakes fake, 'lotta snakes here
Lions, tigers, and apes here
"Rest in peace" on a white tee
Play crazy, make me put your face here
While you rest in peace, I might be
With your girlfriend or your friend girl
Convincin' her to smoke Elavils
Impressionable, simplistic, ain't no tellin' what the hell it is
Ain't no tellin' what the hell I did
(Say you fumbled?) The hell I did
Spent some time in the cell, I did
Question askin' what the hell I did
Pray hard and talked to God
And picked the Bible up off and on
Fuck, I don't give, brain up like switch
Havin' trouble turnin' it off and on

[Chorus]
You niggas insecure
I don't even listen
What's understood need not be explained if you really live it
Rollin' 'round my hood they speakin' like they rollin' with me
What's understood need not be explained if you really live it
My baby mamas keep it the realer than my fuckin' niggas
What's understood need not be explained if you really live it
Three in the liter when I'm drinkin', that's just how I sip it
What's understood need not be explained if you really live it

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
