"I am Understanding"
  by Mona Lisa


I was talking to my man
and talking leads to arguing
and arguing leads to misunderstanding
I said babe things changed between us and things are not the same
the words that came out his mouth was I wish you were understanding

WHAT NIGGA

I been fucking understanding for 9 fucking mouths but according to you 10
I been fucking understanding when you said you had a son
at the moment my mind told me to run
but I didn’t
I been fucking understanding when you were not with ya baby mother but still was living together because you had no place to go
I been fucking understanding when I found out you were married
I been fucking understanding that I was still with you through you divorce
I understand that I do what I do because I love you not because am forced
I been fucking understanding when all the times you stood me up
I been fucking understanding that we have to go through struggle
but I just been through your personal struggles
I been understanding that we been together so long and went out only one time
I been understanding when you went out with ya boys and never me
I been fucking understanding when you didn’t have a job
and when you finally found one you were always working long hours
I been fucking understanding when you said you made sacrifices for me
but it was changes you were going to make sooner or later
I been fucking understanding when you finally come to see me it’s only for like 10 minutes
I been fucking understanding lately when we have sex it’s just a quick fuck
I been fucking understanding of your jealousy
why are you so jealous maybe because you are doing something you are not suppose be doing
I been fucking understanding the times you didn’t answer your phone
I been fucking understanding when ya baby mother would call my phone talking shit
I been fucking understanding when she answered yours
I been fucking understanding when you said you were gonna call me back but never did
I been fucking understanding when you didn’t have a phone any more so you couldn’t really call me
I been fucking understanding that I let you use mine so you could call me on my house phone
I been fucking understanding when you finally got your own apartment I went to go see you and you were never home
I been fucking understanding that I said lets take a brake so you could really focus on your problem and so that I wouldn’t take up your time
but you said I broke up with you
sometimes I think maybe that’s what I should do
I been fucking understanding of being understanding
shall I go on or are you fucking understanding
