I Can’t Understand

I can't understand, I can't understand
I can't understand, I can't understand
(It's got me goin' crazy
Things are goin' crazy)

Forgive me Father for I have sinned
I just destroyed another phony
Ass rapper again she wasn't causin' it
She must be stupid as a fiend
They should have told the child 'You
Don't step to the Queen!'
Perplexed and I'm vexed 'cause
Everywhere I go
People be flexin' expectin' me
To wanna flow
I don't play that, the only way that
I would be playing is if I pay back
And run the playback, so whatcha sayin'?
You don't wanna be a sista'
In the name of rap
And yet you wanna talk shit
And your style is wack
I would have squashed it before and
Made the whole issue dead
But now I'm fed, so it's off with your head
Now the moral of the verse is
Your career is through
And don't be fuckin' with nobody
Who ain't fuckin' with you
If I was in yo shoes I'd
Let the BS start walkin'
Next time there might not be no talkin'

I can't understand, I can't understand
I can't understand, I can't understand
(It's got me goin' crazy
Things are goin' crazy)

A brotha pushed up on me
At the movies one weekend
He was on a quest and I
Was who he was seekin'
And although I am Black and
He was a Puerto Rican
Ain't make no diff to me
So we continued to speak and
We hit it right off and
Everything was on a roll before I knew it
I fell in love with his soul
"Aye papi! Aye!" Was the cry as
He made love to me
I was freaked by the way he used to do me
And then one day when I
Was washin' our clothes
A number fell outta his pocket
And her name was Rose
A girl's number? Hmmm that
Struck me kinda funny
I lost my grip, I had to call up the honey
"There was a chick on the side!"
Oh no it couldn't be!
"There was a chick on the
Side!" He's down with OPP?
I gave you the whole shabang
Just to find another woman hittin' my thang

I can't understand, I can't understand
I can't understand, I can't understand
(It's got me goin' crazy
Things are goin' crazy)
I can't understand, I can't understand
I can't understand, I can't understand
(It's got me goin' crazy
Things are goin' crazy)

Why the negative vibes? And why
Do people take bribes?
I don't understand it, yo (I don't know)
Why do bad people live? And
Why do good people die?
Somebody gotta tell me why (I don't know)
Why do people smoke crack? And
Why do White fight Black?
What's that scenario? (I don't know)
Why do hearts get broken? Why
The chumps get choked?
They know I ain't no joke (I don't know)
Now, with the drums to the bass
To the piano to the horn
It's a crazy ass life and that's my word
It's bond i'm tryin' to be as logical
As I possibly can but for the life of me
You know I just can't understand
What's goin' on sometimes
So situations like this come out in my rhymes
But Queen Latifah ain't gone just yet
'Cause when it comes to masterin'
Confusion I'm a VET

I can't understand, I can't understand
I can't understand, I can't understand
(It's got me goin' crazy
Things are goin' crazy)
