What's Understood

[Intro]

Metro Boomin want some more, nigga

[Verse 1: Nyck Caution]

I run around through the night like I'm nocturnal (Yeah)

Running raw through the wife when she not fertile (Yeah)

Everybody in my high school (What?), shitting on me rapping

Wished we would've swapped journals (Nah)

I am not the flop, I learned that when the block was hot

And Lil Wayne got me thinking that I got this

A little pain gon' happen in the process

But a little change gon' happen after all that (Yeah, yeah)

Now I'm thinking back like I once did

Hey, back when I thought I could run shit

Summer camp getting higher than bunk beds

Summer plans getting fly for the function

You know that I was getting by as a young kid

Hey, yeah, back when everything was blissful

Back when everything was so simple

Yeah, but everything don't last forever

I break bread with the fans, bring cats together

Little different than my last direction

But the flow is like a blast Beretta

A couple shots, put him down like an anesthetic

And now you ain't too fast to get up

About time Nyck told y'all that

'Bout time Nyck cold and the world know that

If you see me 'round the block I don't owe your daps

World-class in my verse, you could hold your glass

'Cause we good (Good)

Y'all know the name, yeah

I said what's understood

Don't gotta be explained

Met-Metro, Metro Boomin want some more

Went to school, ain't wanna go

So I started dropping out

And instead, I hit that road

[Chorus: Nyck Caution]

Now this life is all I fucking know, hey

You took a shot, you missed and can't reload, ayy

Boy, I swear to God, I took this to my grave (Ayy)

What's understood don't gotta be explained

[Bridge]

I don't wanna know if you gotta go

I don't wanna know if you gotta go

I don't wanna know if you gotta go

I don't wanna know if you gotta go

Ayy

[Verse 2: Joey Bada$$]

Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah

Back in the booth on my boss shit

It's a new year, I'm on my bullshit

Got the news, they need more shit

Dropped my debut, been on tour since

Tell the truth, man, I really hate to dispute

Name another yout that really did it on his own

No majors, no cosign at all

Just labor and raising the bar

Still ain't enough to get invited to awards

Like I still ain't get a nut and I've been going this hard?

Fuck it, I'ma pull-up to awards with the squad

Slamming the door, shooting up stars

Who want war? Bet they don't want none

Bet who, what, when, where, why, go run

Catch a motherfucker like Ricky with his gun

With a .22 bitch, ain't 22 yet

Every day tryna live; Russian Roulette

Just turned 21, I be forever young

I be the greatest one, he told me to my face

Patience is key, you gonna be straight

How many times you gonna be late?

Miss my chance? Oh no, not me

Shift my stance and go the right way

Took one glance and saw the right thing

I could give a fuck what they say about me

They ain't making nothing, they ain't taking my cheese

I ain't gotta forfeit, I done get those hoes to leave

To the water, don't you order take a motherfucking drink

Guess eyes roll 'cause they more like sheep

There's stress in the belly of the beast

For generation X, to generation Y, to generation Z-Z-Z

Y'all niggas just sleep

And I pray that they’re ready when the wartime

In the belly of the beast with the pork rinds

Barely in the street, nigga, fuck 12

Seen the cameras on me when I touched down

Feds watching, please believe it

Don't share my business with social media

Niggas devious, they can't eat with us

Went around starting fake beef with us

And this life

[Chorus: Nyck Caution]

Is all I fucking know, ayy

You took a shot, you missed and can't reload, ayy

Boy, I swear to God, I took this to my grave, ayy

What's understood don't gotta be explained, ayy

[Bridge]

I don't wanna know if you gotta go

I don't wanna know if you gotta go

I don't wanna know if you gotta go

I don't wanna know
