Verse 1:
In order to understand the ending,
First you gotta start from the very beginning,
Of my story,
I know it ain't all fame and glory,
But I lived it,
And with all the things that happened,
I should be so hateful and unhappy,
But that ain't got a damn thing to do with you,
So I ain't gotta put that weight on you
Pre-Chorus:
And I can't understand how a man could look
At his woman and wanna throw hands,
And I can't understand why they wanna wish death upon me,
I'm still struggling,
And I can't understand why so many mammas gotta raise a man of their own,
Cause where I'm from this ain't the way God intended it to be done,
Chorus:
Why do they always got me under attack,
Where they do that at,
Look at the sky askin' God "why so much pain on me"
How you gon' take my love and don't give none back
Where they do that at,
Where they do that at,
Verse 2:
Lord knows I did some things that I wasn't suppose to be doing,
But I had to, to keep living,
What yo excuse, I mean really,
Cause you wanna ride through the hood on Twenty-Four,
Good woman at home but ya video hoe's,
Talkin' 'bout how real you are,
But ain't real man,
Like my granddaddy,
Pre-Chorus:
See you the kind of man that can look at his woman
And wanna throw hands,
And I can't understand how they wanna wish death upon me,
I'm still struggling,
And I can't understand why I got to raise my son on my own,
Cause where I'm from this ain't the way God intended it to be done,
Chorus:
Why dot they always got me under attack,
Where they do that at,
Look to the sky askin' God "why so much pain on me",
How you gon' take my love and don't give none back,
Where they do that at,
Where they do that at,
Bridge:
This might be to real for the radio,
But I still wanted you to know,
We ain't doin' what we was put here for,
And I ain't sayin' I'm perfect,
But what ya'll doin' people don't deserve it,
So girl grab your hand and look at your man,
If you understand what I'm sayin'
Bridge 2:
Always got me yeah,
Where they do that at,
Where they do that at,
How you got take my love and don't give none back,
Where they do that at,
Where they do that at.
