Jay-Z - Soon You´ll Understand lyrics

Album: The Dynasty: Roc La Familia (2000)

[Jay-Z]
Mmm, you do not understand now be..cause you are cryin, & you hurt
You will understand soon enough.. soon enough

[Singer overlaps Jay-Z]
Let him hold you, let him touch you
Soon you will un-der-stand

[Jay-Z]
You are my best friend´s sister, grown woman & all
But you see how I´m around girls; I ruin em all
Plus your mom call me son, around you since I was small
Shit I watched you mature - nah, this aint right
But still when your boyfriend ditched you, life is a bitch you cried
Over my right shoulder I told you to wipe your eyes
Take your time when you likin a guy
Cause if he sense that your feelings too intense, it is pimp or die
I bought you earrings on your birthday
Drove you to college your 1st day
It must be sad, though it hurts to say
We could never be a item, don´t even like him
You deserve better - this is ugly; Gina, please don´t love me
Theres better guys out there other than me
{You need a lawyer or a doctor or somebody like that you know}
Like a lawyer or a doctor with a Ph.D
Think of how upset your mother & brother would be
if they found that you was huggin me
My conscience is f*ckin with me

[Singer]
Let him hold you, let him touch you
Soon you will un-der-stand

[Jay-Z]
Man, I look in the eyes of a..
this.. a kid that stole life & me together..
We are tryin, really tryin to make it work
I am young, & I aint ready, & I told you

[Singer overlaps Jay-Z]
Let him hold you, let him touch you
Soon you will un-der-stand

[Jay-Z]
It aint like, I aint tell you from day one, I aint shit
When it comes to relationships, I do not have the patience
Now it is too late, we got a little life together
and in my mind I really want you to be my wife forever
But in the physical it is like I ama be trife forever
A different girl every night forever; told you to leave
but you are stubborn & you love him and,
no matter what despite all the f*ckin & the cheatin,
you still won´t leave him, now you are grievin
And I feel bad, believe me
But I am young & I aint ready, & this aint easy
Wasn´t fair to tell you to wait, so I told you to skate
You chose not to, now look at the shit we´ve got to go through
Doin a fight, throw in a fuss, you the mother of my baby
I do not want you to hate me, this is about us
Rather me; I aint ready to be what you want me to be
Because I love you, I want you to leave, please

[Singer]
Let him hold you, let him touch you
Soon you will un-der-stand

[Jay-Z]
Mm... listen ma
I mean, I seen you workin two or three jobs
Daddy left... I I thought I was makin things better
I made it worse

[Singer overlaps Jay-Z]
Let him hold you, let him touch you
Soon you will un-der-stand

[Jay-Z]
Dear ma, I am in the cell, lonely as hell
Writin this scribe, thinkin bout how you must feel inside
You tried to teach me better, but I refused to grow
God damn I aint the young man that you used to know
You said the street claim lives, but I wanted things like
bling bling ice I was wrong in hindsight
Shit we grew apart, try to blame it on your new spouse
I know it hurt like hell the day you kicked me out
But your house is your house, I aint respect the rules
I brought crack past your door, beefed with rival crews
And who wants to be the mother of a son who sold drugs
Co-workers saw me on the corner slingin Larry Love
Meanwhile, you workin hard like, two or three jobs
Tryin to feed me & my siblings, makin an honest livin
Who am I kiddin I, call myself easin the load
I made the load heavy, I need money for commissary
Try to understand, please

[Singer - repeat all 6X till fade]
Let him hold you, let him touch you
Soon you will un-der-stand
