Hood I Understand Now

Đóng góp: Uncle Phil said to me, that woman will be the death of me
but I don't think there's anything I can do
She's got ways I don't understand Putting words into my mouth
Things I just can't get used to
But then she dropped the cornbread in the kitchen
Uncle Phil smiled as if she'd just done the greatest thing

I'm not sure if I understood then
But I guarantee I understand now

My cousin screwed up without a doubt
All of a sudden, he wasn't hanging out
and "That girl", he said, "She is the cats…"
then he disappeared from sight without a trace
So they had a bunch of babies and they got a good jobs
working hard to provide the best they can

I'm not sure if I understood then
But I guarantee I understand now

I'm beginning to appreciate the value of generations changing hands
Family ties and lips and eyes Pass it down

Now the weatherman today said
"Warm and cloudy, cold front coming in around sundown"
And I'm walking through your house, full of your beautiful relations
and I'm thinking that I'd like to stick around
And there are things I have said with one hand on the Bible
that are only now starting to make sense

I'm not sure if I understood then
But I guarantee I understand now

I understand now
