kNOw tomorrow (prod. Qustlove)

{Verse 1}

I hear you don't understand what's going on in school

Facts fly by in a sky full of rules

Theories on theories

No time for even three of me's

Teachers on your case, can't I get some sleep and peace

4 years here, I pay my dues for these years

but I can't keep up, wasted money through my tears

Study groups, Bible groups, they all keep me floatin'

My head above the waves, but man I'm sick of coping

and choking, I can't fight under pressure

My veins filled with lukewarm, work under pleasure

Whatever makes me feel good, that's real good

But what's the good in trying if I can't even feel good

So I raise another glass, Amped up but skipping class

Sleeping in the shower cuz i'm low on gas

since C's get degrees, I just have to pass

and please fastforward to when this is in the past

 

{Chorus}

Some day, I'll know

Go where I know

To be...yeah, to be

Forgotten

All the days I used to be

 

{Verse 2}

So Bam, I see now, the answers to my hows

and whys I had to work, harder than I do now

with no doubt,

every second counted, but I gave up and struck out

Never made my dad proud

Forever let my dad shout deep inside my brain,

"don't become a retard in society just because your pain

is bigger than your strength, c'mon man

Well now I'm the scrub at the bottom of the can

I'm a friggin father who won't even bother

Better yet worse, in the basement of my mother

Never learning, never concerning

that my actions have consequences,

Study to live, not for conforming

Life is short but it keeps coming and going,

when you gonna hop on and stop the free falliin'

Go buy a belt big boy, if the pants keep fallin'

Real men work, go blame the curse of the fallen

 

{Chorus}

 

{Verse 3}

So many 20 somethings

Dropout for soul searching

Itching n' bitching, about

I'm meant for so much more, I'm certain

Don't close door on me, don't close the curtain

I hear an encore, or maybe it' a burden, some person

giving me a chance, one glance that sees the real me

Not the scrub, the bum, my inner voice keeps calling me

Comeback stories only happen in the movies see

or at least not my life, my life that shouts OMG

Oh my God, I got a heavenly father

while I'm disowned by my Korean other, son turned pariah

Expectations already gone, and it's killing me, you feelin me?

God calls me child, my son, he's healing me

Brother to the Son of Man by grace alone

that means I did nothing right, but still love was shown

I can't see the future even with my glasses on

But by God, I know I gotta keep marching on

 

{Chorus}
