Understood Lyrics by Nelson Dialect

Opera House

2019

Verse

Put your best foot forward for the people
Try to bless evil be less see through
I’m the easel hold my art up to reach you
The paintbrush I write with and realigning cerebral

Half coat of arms like an emu
Life is a feature no preview depending on how it treat you
Keep moves in my arsenal, with a key
That fit inside the lock that don’t pop like glue

No sequel I’m living once a real dude
With my cousin when he lit a dutch life might give it up
Smoke out depression, I went to more funerals than weddings
As an adolescence what a lesson

What I’m left with, broken memories in my perception
Mirrors that bring in a blurry reflection
Corrected when I heard A tribe Called Quest record
I was 7, that was Gods message

Chorus
Understood, It’s understood
Do what you can and what you should make sure you do it good

(Kwasi)
Reach out for you, Scream out for you
I’m down on my knees I call you x 2
I’m Blessed x 3

Verse Two

I fell in love with Hip Hop not gonna lie
Grew up when I was young fourth son to Pops
Mum wanted me arrived on July 16, 1990
High and the mighty providing my time

Conceived in the 80’s and raised in the essence
Where Jordan became legend open ledger
E for effort, I’m named after Mandela
I was obsessed with Martin Luther King Jr. & Malcolm

Couldn’t understand the flesh
Why the white supremacist want to suppress God it’s a mess
Grandmother was a poet my DNA encoded
With the prose and potential to be potent

Enough about me I need to show em
I woke up in a dream called reality and lived the moment
Thank my omens, owing nobody about to go in
The coping mechanism I was given being spoken understood
