[Intro: Riley]
You just don't understand me
Roads I've walked, things I've seen
Experience subjective, world revolves
Round my feelings
You just don't understand me
Attempting to understand we
[Verse 1: Riley]
Take a look at him
Layers of labels layer the player persona
Boulders where you would ball
And on point with a pen
Shelving some many pointless events
Test him rarely or face a vent
Of aggression frustrated
You're breaking his patience
Vacate premises or promise this Earth
You'll be vacant or taken
Trainers in suede, alcohol faded with haze
Claims of tertiary gaze
But really opaque as his chain
Changing for nothing
While gaining the change in abundance
Slinging substance and lucky his life
Was not ended abruptly
But in life I know that's all he's known
Judge a book by the roots of its trees
Not price of boots it may show
[Chorus: Riley]
You just don't understand me
Take a long stroll in my shoes
And believe, comprehend none
Ill perceived
Now, now, now
You just don't understand me
Roads I've walked, things I've seen
Experience subjective, world revolves
Round my feelings
You just don't understand me
Attempting to understand we
[Verse 2: Riley]
Take a look at her
Eyes green in the lambent club lights
Eye contact like sun's always in eyes
Contacts practical wise
Objectivise men like
f**ing with many men in the club, grind
Find her in the bed in same night twice
Waking to light of dawn, rise
Coming at your life with lies held high, yup
Five foot, two feet within highs, yup
Always something sideways in her stride, yup
Comfort relies on her blanket of lies
Compose self to come pose for somebody else, why
[Chorus: Riley]
You just don't understand me
Take a long stroll in my shoes
And believe, comprehend none
Ill perceived
Now, now, now
You just don't understand me
Roads I've walked, things I've seen
Experience subjective, world revolves
Round my feelings
You just don't understand me
Attempting to understand we
[Verse 3: Riley]
Take a look at them
Your sons and daughters
Lawless decisions, network addictions
Street corners and then
who*es in their element, friends
Pointing their swords at yours
Can't trust nobody cause nobody can f** with your thoughts
But she will f** with your thoughts
And he will f** you up for not signing up to his cause
And they will drown out the dying noise of this generation
Plug in your headphones
Throw middle fingers to conversation
Then you wonder why me, you
Lose trust
Understanding nothing but we bluff
Something seems mutual as such
A diamond in the rough collecting dust
[Chorus: Riley]
You just don't understand me
Take a long stroll in my shoes
And believe, comprehend none
Ill perceived
Now, now, now
You just don't understand me
Roads I've walked, things I've seen
Experience subjective, world revolves
Round my feelings
You just don't understand me
Attempting to understand we
