NF - Understand Me lyrics

It's obvious that they don't understand me
It's obvious that they don't see what I see
Yeah, they used to tell me I was crazy
Now they listen to me like, "Whoa, maybe"

Yeah, this is more than a dream
This is more than a passion
Don't ignore what you see this
Is more than just rappin'
Here's a picture of me
Take a minute, now let's go backwards
To a time and a place when people
Thought that this would never happen
Sittin' in the back of the bus
Rappin' it up: my emotion
Ain't nobody really got a clue
What I wanna' do, and I'm like my devotion
Don't go nowhere unless I got
My CD player with me
Everybody lookin' at me like I'm nuts
"He ain't serious is he?"
Became a pain relief
Called it my intervention
Little way to release my tension
Oh yeah, and did I mention?
To all them kids that told me, "Nate
You just so overrated"
I took them haters and made
Them into my motivation

It's obvious that they don't understand me
It's obvious that they don't see what I see
Yeah, they used to tell me I was crazy
Now they listen to me like, "Whoa, maybe"

I got lost in the movement
I got lost in the beats
Don't just talk to the music
Music's talkin' to me
Don't make it hard, see
It really ain't that complicated
But people complicate it
Let me clear the complication
Some said the music's fly-
Some told me I was basic-
Some say shoot for the sky-
Some said, "You'll never make it"
Don't know what's in this mind
Don't know my situation
Put my life in these lines
Put my pain in these pages age twelve
Walkin' around with a dream that no one knows
Ain't nobody else in my zone
Just me and these headphones
Some people crack theyjokes
Some people laughed at me but in the end
He turned them dreams into reality

It's obvious that they don't understand me
It's obvious that they don't see what I see
Yeah, they used to tell me I was crazy
Now they listen to me like, "Whoa, maybe"
It's obvious that they don't understand me
It's obvious that they don't see what I see
Yeah, they used to tell me I was crazy
Now they listen to me like, "Whoa, maybe"
It's obvious that they don't understand me
It's obvious that they don't see what I see
Yeah, they used to tell me I was crazy
Now they listen to me like, "Whoa, maybe"
It's obvious that they don't understand me
It's obvious that they don't see what I see
Yeah, they used to tell me I was crazy
Now they listen to me like, "Whoa, maybe"

Yeah, a lot of people don't understand
A lot of people don't know
I been doing music since I was twelve, man
It's been a dream
It's been a passion for so long
And like I said, it's way more than that now
It's way more than just something I wanna be
This ain't about me just wantin' to be famous
Me about wantin' to make money
It's like, part of my life now, you know?
Yeah, let's go
