Alecia Elliott - I Don't Understand lyrics

Oh, yeah

There's a little girl living on the street

I don't understand

Turning tricks to get some some food to eat

I don't understand

There's a mama praying to God to bring her baby back

I don't understand, I don't understand

There's a crack house down across the tracks

I don't understand

People trading smoke for cold hard cash

I don't understand

There's just no way this could be part of the greater plan

I don't understand, I don't understand

Is everybody living in a world without windows?

Am I the only one who sees?

If this is all that's left of what was once the promise land, oh

I just can't comprehend it, I just don't understand

There's a daddy walking out the door

I don't understand

Leaving three kids who need him more

Then he understands

These days the trouble starts right where the family ends

I don't understand, I don't understand

Is everybody living in a world without windows?

Am I the only one who sees?

If this is all that's left of what was once the promise land, oh

I just can't comprehend it, I just don't understand

Is everybody living in a world without windows?

Am I the only one who sees?

If this is all that's left of what was once the promise land, oh

I just can't comprehend it, I just don't understand

I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't understand
