You might want to say but you you got to understand
'Cuz in the blink of an eye it can all go awry
And you can keep playing after the fact
Related to the game and came after crack
Speak the truth for real
Or sign the autographs till the last cat's standing
You got to understand
I ain't hating, I just heard better
Who'd ya pack ya things and get up and bounce
We're more than meets the third eye, words fly
You might want to say but you you got to understand
And all the times I tried ta do what this wanna God do?
I don't know man, 'cuz we see fiends who dream cream
Ms. Thing I don't know
You might want to say
We trying to tell you the deal from our perspective
So love me when I'm home and cherish the moment
Testing
Reppin' from the bird's eye view
I know some women who dodge balls like Ben Stiller
And I ain't gon' talk about no cat whose decision is poor
Before I was a member of your favorite rap band
Yeah, between me and myself and all of these things
Understanding is a theme when we doing our thing
You might want to say, but you you got to understand
Speak the truth for real
You live life the next part is you die, too
But ever I leave you ready to go
I'm obligated just ta say it like it T-I is
Ooh, ya got to understand
And there's no one on this Earth it doesn't apply to
Now that's true, 'cuz every single day I live
The J5 collective will wreck 'cuz you
Uh-huh, 'cuz some of you women are men's mirrors
Understand I was a fan
You got to understand
We trying to tell you the deal from our perspective
The J5 collective will wreck 'cuz you

You got to understand keep it together and try
You got to understand

The J5 collective will wreck 'cuz you
You might want to say
What ya gotta
While you're thinking the skills, some are thinking the mills
What ya gotta
Reppin' from the bird's eye view
In a never-ending quest ta get the house on the hill
And it seems you need to be the one to flash that cannon
I need some understanding in this world between me and my girl
Reppin' the west through special effects and green screens
You might want to say
Now if it ever came to the bank account
She want the diamonds and the pearls to be a part of my world
And the next man will quickly take your title
From the job to my queen and chasing my dream
My Momma told me about how it flow
Your only way of coming up is probably inking a deal
We're more than meets the third eye, words fly
The whole world needs a little bit of understanding
But I didn't wanna listen but she told me so
The J5 collective will wreck 'cuz you
We're more than meets the third eye, words fly
You might wanna say it
You got to understand keep it together and try
What ya gotta
Trust me, man, my hand is just as dirty as yours
Speak the truth for real

Twenty four-sev but love don't pay the rent
And that's real
These the type of things that I be thinking about
You got to understand" keep it together and try
Speak the truth for real
You might want to say but you you got to understand
We trying to tell you the deal from our perspective
It's cuz I see the world from the Artist eye view
Either they like you or they hype you, it's a cycle
What ya gotta
Reppin' from the bird's eye view
Brother pass that action and your trashin' is real

To all my other fellas you got to understand
So why you wanna go and do that, huh?
Reppin' from the bird's eye view
But every queen need a king wit her
Up the ante on the game and apply the pressure
Choices that we make in the vital
'Cuz every nigga I know is out ta get a plaque
