I Just Wanna Know

When you ask yourself these questions...
Just no one understand that...it's a lot of us asking the same questions with you
But 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 'em
Don't be scared to ask, whole lot of things I wanna know

I just wanna know what my purpose is
Will I ever win or am I living out worthless years?
Can I conquer the heaviness of my nervous fears?
When will I stop saturating the Earth with tears?
Try'na over-fix a problem only makes it worse
Don't you hate when you do something you can't reverse?
I wore 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 die when we discover 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 try'na learn, I ain't try'na harass
They say the only stupid question is the one you don't ask
So...

I just wanna how it looks, how it feels
To be living in the 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 I got it, but you 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?

I got my own load to carry, I can show you that
Try'na help unappreciative people, I'm over that
They just wanna try get a piece of what you holding, Black
And keep me in their circle like a house in the Coalsack
After the break up, 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 was 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? (Yeah)
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
So...

I just wanna how it looks, how it feels
To be living in the 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 I got it, but you 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?

How come the real soldiers 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 hopin', I bet you whatever
A church on every corner, but is more wretched than 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 a change, we'll never be free, exactly !
What makes another person mad when they see you happy?
Don't tell God how big your problem are, the world is His
Flip it around, tell your problems how big God is
Wassup 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
Mustsees are real small, it don't take a lot of fate
So...

I just wanna how it looks, how it feels
To be living in the 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 I got it, but you 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?
