Cryin' babies on the doorstep,
| Helpless as can be,
| Lady of the evening,
| Set your mind free.
| Grown up in a ghetto,
| Never seen a tree, oh...
|
| If you don't understand
| The words to this song
| It's on you,
| It's on me
|
| If you don't understand
| The words to this song
| It's on you,
| It's on me, yeah
|
| If you try to make it better,
| Try to pull it in
| You take it from your pocket,
| You'll take it from within, yeah
| You'll take it from your pride, y'all,
| You're right back where you been, yeah.
| It's sort of like a seesaw
| Up and down again.
| The key is in vacation?
|
| If you don't understand
| The words to this song,
| It's on you,
| It's on me
|
| If you don't understand,
| don't get me wrong,
| It's on you,
| It's on me, yeah.

| If you don't understand
| The words to this song,

| It's on you, yeah.
|
| If you don't understand,
| don't get me wrong,
| It's on you
| It's all about you and me, ya'll
