JAY-Z - Soon You’ll Understand lyrics

Mmm, you don't understand now
Because you're cryin', and you hurt
You'll understand soon enough soon enough

Let him hold you, let him touch you
Soon you'll understand

You're my best friend's sister
Grown woman and all
But you see how I am around
Girls I ruin 'em all
Plus your mom call me son
Around you since I was small
Shit, I watched you mature, nah
This ain't right
But still when your boyfriend ditched you
Life's a bitch you cried
Over my right shoulder
I told you to wipe your eyes
Take your time when you likin' a guy
'Cause if he sense that


Your feelings too intense, his pimp'll die
I bought you earrings on your birthday
Drove you to college your first day
It must be sad, though it hurts to say
We could never be a item, don't even like him
You deserve better, this is ugly Gina
Please don't love me
There's better guys out there other than me
(You need a lawyer or a
Doctor or somebody like that, you know?)
Like a lawyer or a doctor with a PhD
Think of how upset your mother
And brother would be
If they found that you was huggin' me
My conscience is fuckin' with me

Let him hold you, let him touch you
Soon you'll understand
Let him hold you, let him touch you
Soon you'll understand

Man, I look in the eyes of our
This our kid this whole life we made together
We're tryin', really tryin' to make it work
I'm young, and I ain't ready, and I told you

It ain't like, I ain't tell you from day one
I ain't shit when it comes to relationships
I don't have the patience now it's too late
We got a little life together
And in my mind I really want
You to be my wife forever
But in the physical it's like
I'ma be trife forever
A different girl every night forever
Told you to leave
But your stubborn and you love him and
No matter what
Despite all the fuckin' and the cheatin'
You still won't leave him
Now you're grievin'
And I feel bad, believe me
But I'm young and I ain't ready
And this ain't easy
Wasn't fair to tell you to wait
So I told you to skate you chose not to
Now look at the shit we gotta go through
Don't wanna fight, don't wanna fuss
You the mother of my baby
I don't want you to hate me, this is about us
Rather me I ain't ready to be
What you want me to be
And 'cause I love you, I want you to leave
Please

Let him hold you, let him touch you
Soon you'll understand
Let him hold you, let him touch you
Soon you'll understand

Mm listen ma
I mean, I seen you workin two or three jobs
Daddy left I
I thought I was makin' things better
I made it worse

Dear ma, I'm in the cell, lonely as hell
Writin' this scribe
Thinkin' 'bout how you must feel inside
You tried to teach me better
But I refused to grow
Goddamn, I ain't the young man
That you used to know
You said the street claim lives
But I wanted things like
Bling-bling ice I was wrong in hindsight
Shit, we grew apart
Try to blame it on your new spouse
I know it hurt like hell the
Day you kicked me out
But your house is your house
I ain't respect the rules
I brought crack past your door
Beefed with rival crews
And who wants to be the mother
Of a son who sold drugs?
Co-workers saw me on the
Corner slingin' Larry Love
Meanwhile, you workin' hard, like 2 or 3 jobs
Tryin' to feed me and my siblings
Makin' an honest livin' who am I kiddin'? I
Call myself easin' the load
I made the load heavy
I need money for commissary
Try to understand, please

Let him hold you, let him touch you
Soon you'll understand
Let him hold you, let him touch you
Soon you'll understand
Let him hold you, let him touch you
Soon you'll understand
Let him hold you, let him touch you
Soon you'll understand
Let him hold you, let him touch you
Soon you'll understand
Let him hold you, let him touch you
Soon you'll understand
