Alecia Elliott - I Don't Understand

There's a little girl livin' on the street


I don't understand


Turnin' tricks to get some some food to eat


I don't understand


There's a mama prayin' 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 tradin' 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 livin' in a world without windows


Am I the only one who ses


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 walkin' out the door


I don't understand


Leavin' 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 livin' in a world without windows


Am I the only one who ses


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 livin' in a world without windows


Am I the only one who ses


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
