Gotta Understand Lyrics


You might wanna say it
Testing
Ooh, ya got to understand
What ya gotta
Speak the truth for real
You might want to say
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 might want to say but you you got to understand
We're more than meets the third eye, words fly
Reppin' from the bird's eye view
I ain't hating, I just heard better
Up the ante on the game and apply the pressure
Understand I was a fan
Before I was a member of your favorite rap band
Understand that I'm still a fan

And you can keep playing after the fact
Related to the game and came after crack
'Cuz every nigga I know is out ta get a plaque
So why you wanna go and do that, huh?
I don't know man, 'cuz we see fiends who dream cream
Reppin' the west through special effects and green screens
And it seems you need to be the one to flash that cannon
Or sign the autographs till the last cat's standing
Brother pass that action and your trashin' is real
Your only way of coming up is probably inking a deal
While you're thinking the skills, some are thinking the mills
In a never-ending quest ta get the house on the hill
And that's real
What ya gotta
Speak the truth for real
You might want to say
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 might want to say, but you you got to understand
We're more than meets the third eye, words fly
Reppin' from the bird's eye view
I need some understanding in this world between me and my girl
She want the diamonds and the pearls to be a part of my world
Twenty four-sev but love don't pay the rent
So love me when I'm home and cherish the moment
Uh-huh, 'cuz some of you women are men's mirrors
I know some women who dodge balls like Ben Stiller
Please understand, it's not to offend or seem bitter
But every queen need a king wit her
Ms. Thing I don't know
But ever I leave you ready to go
My Momma told me about how it flow
But I didn't wanna listen but she told me so
Now if it ever came to the bank account
Who'd ya pack ya things and get up and bounce
These the type of things that I be thinking about
To all my other fellas you got to understand
What ya gotta
Speak the truth for real
You might want to say
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 might want to say but you you got to understand
We're more than meets the third eye, words fly
Reppin' from the bird's eye view
And all the times I tried ta do what this wanna God do?
It's cuz I see the world from the Artist eye view
You live life the next part is you die, too
And there's no one on this Earth it doesn't apply to
Now that's true, 'cuz every single day I live
I'm obligated just ta say it like it T-I is
And I ain't gon' talk about no cat whose decision is poor
Trust me, man, my hand is just as dirty as yours
Either they like you or they hype you, it's a cycle
Choices that we make in the vital
'Cuz in the blink of an eye it can all go awry
And the next man will quickly take your title
Yeah, between me and myself and all of these things
Understanding is a theme when we doing our thing
From the job to my queen and chasing my dream
The whole world needs a little bit of understanding
What ya gotta
Speak the truth for real
You might want to say
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 might want to say but you you got to understand
We're more than meets the third eye, words fly
Reppin' from the bird's eye view

Jurassic 5 was originally a six-piece hip-hop crew that was formed in 1993 at the Los Angeles, California venue Good Life. Rappers Chali 2na, Akil, Zaakir aka Soup, Mark 7even, and turntable maestros DJ Nu-Mark and DJ Cut Chemist came together from two separate crews, the Rebels of Rhythm and Unity Committee. Cut Chemist left the band in 2006 to pursue a solo career.

The group debuted for TVT Records in 1995 with the single for Unified Rebelution. Their acclaimed position in the 1990s alternative hip-hop movement, alongside artists including Company Flow, Black Star and Kool Keith, was confirmed when the Jurassic 5 EP was released in December 1997.

The EP was later repackaged with additional tracks and released in December 1998 as the band's full-length debut album, entitled Jurassic 5 LP.

The tracks harked back to the old school attitude of new york's Native Tongues Posse, the seminal late 1980s coalition of artists who reaffirmed rap's social agenda, which included De La Soul, the Jungle Brothers and A Tribe Called Quest. This was evident on the song Concrete Schoolyard ("Let's take it back to the concrete streets/Original beats from real live MCs"), and the album even provided the troupe with a surprise uk Top 40 single when it reached number 35 in November 1998. The other stand-out track, Jayou, was built around a hypnotic flute loop from Pleasure Web's Music Man Part 1 (Music Man Part 1).

In 1999, Jurassic 5 signed to Interscope Records, who re-released the Jurassic 5 EP. This was followed by their second album (their first on a major label), Quality Control.

In 2002, they released their third album, Power In Numbers, which was followed by touring with the newly-revived Lollapalooza festival in the summer of 2003.

Their latest album, Feedback, was released on July 25, 2006.

On March 21, 2007, in an interview with the Australian news outlet News.com.au, Zaakir confirmed that the band would be breaking up after their current and final live-tour.
