I Just Wanna Know

Lyrics

[Intro] When you ask yourself these questions Just know and understand that, it's a lot of us asking the same questions with you So don't be afraid to wonder and question why things ain't perfect and why things don't always line up the way you plan them Don't be scared to ask A whole lot of things I wanna know Ha [Verse 1] I just wanna know what my purpose is Will I ever win or am I just living out worthless years? Can I conquer the heaviness of my nervous fears? When will I ever stop saturating the earth with tears Tryna overfix a problem only makes it worse Don't you hate when you do something you can't reverse I worn down every shoe I put my foot in When will I finally win for all this hard work that I put in How come it's so easy to fall in love with people But so hard to overcome the pain once they leave you Generosity died when we discovered greed Being negligent and barely thinking of our seeds (See) Material things we love indeed How come we constantly put our wants above our needs? I'm tryna learn, I ain't tryna harass They say the only stupid question is the one you don't ask, so.. [Chorus] I just wanna know how it looks how it feels To be living in a state of peace surrounded by the real I just wanna know before it's all said and done Will I ever cash in? Will my time ever come? Money don't make me, please don't confuse it You with me when i got it but you're gone when i lose it I feel bad 'cause I did wrong in the past I don't mind a little struggle, but how long do it last? [Verse 2] I've got my own load to carry, I can shoulder that Tryna help unappreciative people, I'm over that They just wanna try to get a piece of what you're holding, black And keep me in their circle like a house in a culdesac After the breakup, seems like my ex is wiser I saw her acting so polite, I barely recognized her I argued hard to teach her who she was and who she wasn't I guess my job to train her for her future husband I ain't sure of your intentions though I'm seeing clues Do you ever get the feeling that you're being used? I can't count how many times I've been wrong in life I ain't always right, sometimes I question my own advice When I'm on the outside I wish that I was in And once I'm in, I see that it's nothing and wanna leave again 'Cause what good is increasing my wealth If I'm wrestling everyday to find peace with myself [Chorus] So, I just wanna know how it looks how it feels To be living in a state of peace surrounded by the real I just wanna know before it's all said and done Will I ever cash in? Will my time ever come? Money don't make me, please don't confuse it You with me when I got it but you're gone when I lose it I feel bad 'cause I did wrong in the past I don't mind a little struggle, but how long do it last? [Verse 3] How come the real soul just got no one to ride for 'em Why do we worship shoes so much we sleep outside for 'em (foolish) Deception even in religion now, the church is proof How come we rather live in ignorance than search for truth I say the hood done lost hope and I bet you whatever A church on every corner, but its more wretched then ever The dope man getting money at a faster rate Liquor store too and they don't even have to pass the plate Without wanting to change we'll never be free exactly What makes another person mad when they see you happy Don't tell God how big your problems are, the world is his Flip it around, tell your problems how big God is! Whats up with the hate on every dime we try to make I just wanna know how many more beatings we gotta take When we gonna learn that they don't want us to populate Mustard seeds are real small, it don't take a lot to sow [Chorus] I just wanna know how it looks how it feels To be living in a state of peace surrounded by the real I just wanna know before it's all said and done Will I ever cash in? Will my time ever come? Money don't make me, please don't confuse it You with me when I got it but you're gone when I lose it I feel bad 'cause I did wrong in the past I don't mind a little struggle, but how long do it last?
