What I Don’t Know
One of the hardest things to do in this life is to tell yourself that you don’t know something.
I don’t know what I’m doing
I don’t know if I’m losing
I don’t know who I’m fooling
What I’m supposed to be proving
I don’t know how to feel
I can’t tell what is real
I don’t know who to call
Who’d pick me up when I fall
I don’t know what to say
Can’t move my pride out the way
I don’t know how to face
The problems that come with today
What is wrong with our youth
I don’t know what’s the truth
I don’t know what to do
I don’t even know you.
I don’t even know me
What it’s like to be free
I don’t know how to open up
I don’t have the key
I don’t know how you do it
How you stay and fight through it
I don’t know if you’re strong
Or if you just can’t move on
I don’t know why we die
I don’t know why we cry
If the end was near for me
I don’t know if I’d hide
I don’t know how to wait
How to stay in one place
If I wasn’t meant to travel
Why are there so many states
I don’t know how to keep faith
-ful of so many mistakes
I don’t know how to stand up
And say enough is enough
I don’t know how to say “no”
I don’t know what I don’t know
But that’s just fine with me
Because I do know how to grow.
I stay woke is more than a song
it’s an awareness of right versus wrong
It’s a cry from the frontal lobe
after being probed... traveling the globe
Bleeding questions of hidden truth
to the foolish, what’s the use
To the teacher, trying to reach her
to the foolish, nothing occur
Stay woke my friend, no time to sleep
An indolent never sows, but tries to reap
From one generation there’s a strength
to the next, weather the length
The journey, the struggle, the climb, the unseen
wake up, heel-toe, child work that dream!
Stay woke, child sing,
remember the law, it can sting
Stay woke, hide the bling
rewind. do amazing things!
Stay woke. Stay alive
Understand truth. Grab with five
Stay woke. Work hard
Believe the non-fictional lard.
This world... no joke
If I were you, I’d STAY WOKE.
