Week 1: "Thank You for Understanding" Lyrics + Description



Click HERE to download "T.Y.F.U." from 'Welcome.'


LYRICS (chorus co-written by Dom Darling.)

Yeah. So we're finally here.
Thank you.

Been a long time since you heard from me
And if not, listen up, you can learn from me,
I got a lot to say. No prophecy, but life is a test that God forsakes
And by the way, it's time to say what's behind my face before it rots away,
When it was locked in a safe, deep inside, back when I might've been a decent guy
Now my old girls all tweeting like, "every good guy has a beast inside."
Probably true, can't even lie, but that's just the view from an eagle's eye.
And I might make it look like cake but the truth is there's no peace inside
Of a rapper who dropped out, no FAFSA;
Who blasts off, no NASA; who cashed out, no bad luck.
I look back at my past like 'I wish I could go back right
Now and not live the fast life, now can I get my bagpipes?
And that's in celebration of a real man.
Now I smoke and rap to fit in where I still can.
Much love to my real fans.
My first year of college taught me nothing but 'be fresh man!'
I could say "no stress mahn," but truth is I dread things.
I could say "my money's straight," but truth is it's sex change.
I could make a fire beat, truth is that's methane
And you could say that I'm next, thanks, but truth is I'm already great.
Come on.

If you understand this, then tell me why they hate me more.
You will not understand this, so what are you hating for? (x2)

Thank you for understanding me. (x2)

If you understand this,
Thank you, I love you.
Some people just like the beat so thank you, but f**k you.
This ain't no mixtape but call it that if you want to
'cause frankly it's my baby - a straight classic out the womb.
I put my watch on when I wrote this shit,
So I could think about accomplishments and not hopelessness.
So when I'm on stage with a glowing wrist,
Just note that shit had cost a lot and I bought it so you'd notice it.
My motor's sick - spinning so fast I'm motion sick, with
Rum and coke in a mix - yes, I am as dope as it gets.
If your eye is the window then open that bitch.
Look in my eyes, that's as close you'll get.
Polo kicks - size 12
That's a size that your soul can't fit in, bitch.

If you understand this, then tell me why they hate me more.
You will not understand this, so what are you hating for? (x2)

Thank you for understanding me. (x2)

Thank you for understanding me. (x2)
