[Intro]
Signed to the streets
Nigga I'm signed to this money signed to my block
Real nigga shit man only real nigga could relate to this type shit right now
Free da guys free my real niggas

[Chorus]
I do this for my family they don't understand me
No new niggas round me they don't understand me
I do this for my crew I do this shit for you they don't understand me
They don't understand me
They don't understand me
They don't understand me
They don't understand me
They don't understand me

[Verse 1]
That street shit was getting hectic and them gun shots was getting reckless
Rome introduced me to hector and I left my kinect naked
Fo'nem behind four walls, I'll never forget about y'all, always pick up them calls
Scream free the guys on my blogs
Send money off to them books even if I gotta sell hooks
Or go low on my features that 10 bands come in handy
So y'all gotta understand me
Ain't giving passes like manning ain't giving passes like manning
Bullet burn through his skin like a tanning
So this is for my loyal niggas no fuckery just loyal niggas
So this is for my jail niggas get caught in that jam ain't tell niggas

[Chorus]
I do this for my family they don't understand me
No new niggas round me they don't understand me
I do this for my crew I do this shit for you they don't understand me
They don't understand me
They don't understand me
They don't understand me
They don't understand me
They don't understand me

[Verse 2]
My vision ain't the same vision my livings ain't the same living
See what you know bout being missing spending plenty weeks in them kitchens
Spending plenty weeks in them trenches where shit get real, real fast
Where you get killed fast without a plan you won't last
See life you only get one
Your dad took your ass done
So live it up don't mess it up and give it up
See I lucked up don't give a fuck I'm too up
My crew up and y'all is burnt up
Shooters shoot to kill niggas
Goofies kill for names
Real hittas hit to hit
Fake niggas them niggas ain't got no aim

[Chorus]
I do this for my family they don't understand me
No new niggas round me they don't understand me
I do this for my crew I do this shit for you they don't understand me
They don't understand me
They don't understand me
They don't understand me
They don't understand me
They don't understand me

Durk Derrick Banks (born October 19, 1992), better known as Lil Durk, is a rapper, singer, and songwriter from Chicago, Illinois. Durk is best known for his involvement in the drill wave that took the music world by storm in the 2010s. He is the founder of his own record label, Only the Family (OTF).

Durk’s early career was, like many drill artists, plagued with legal issues and accusations of violence. These issues eventually led to his shows being canceled.

In 2012, his career took off with the release of “L’s Anthem” and its French Montana-featuring remix. In 2013, he continued his hot streak with “Dis Ain’t What U Want,” a conscious reflection on his perception in the media and throughout his city. In 2015, he released his debut studio album Remember My Name and the viral sensation, “My Beyoncé” with DeJ Loaf.
