Understand Me

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 woo 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
Call it my intervention
Little way to release my tension
Oh yeah, and did I mention
Too 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 woo, 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 their jokes
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 woo, 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
