lyrics

Someday we may
Understand it all

Na na
'Kechi
Chai

Someday it'll all make sense
Truly understand
Listen

What’s a king to the most High
And what’s a Don to the folks eye
When most die
Without a lick of a life of leisure
‘Stead they caught in a life of seizure
Ill will to the heart and soul
What’s warmth when you’re never cold
What’s youth when you’re never old
And what’s old in the novelty of being you
What does it mean when you’re feeling blue
You got the blue skies
“You beautiful with them blue eyes”
Come back to Earth, now we singing blues
Blue in the face
Til we red hot, now we really blew
But I ain’t really saying nothing new
Depend on what you already knew
What’s knowledge to the smartest man
Said what’s pain to the hardest hand
And who’s holding up the master plan
I done ran miles looking for answers
Only to find
The more I know, the less I understand

Someday we may
Understand it all
(And lean not unto thine own
Understanding)

Just gotta understand y'know
It's hard sometimes

I remember my gym teacher, he used to say it like

What’s talent when it fall asleep
Invalid, that’s why skill get to keep
The dollar bill
Ice cream, money with dessert
But how much a dollar really worth
What’s food if you never hunger
Said what’s water if you never thirst
What’s first place in the wrong race
And what’s your best when you at your worst
A curse somehow manifests into a blessing
It always does, so tell me why you stressing
How do you rest when you stay awake
What’s fake when you’re true to self
What are riches to a bag of wealth
What’s health to an aching soul
The world never tried to give it a chance
So how do you console
What’s an answer without a question
Truth be told, I just be guessing
Shit be blowing over head like a ceiling fan
I just pray I can understand

Someday we may
Understand it all
(And lean not unto thine own
Understanding)

Soon it'll make sense someday
For right now it's just
It's above me, yeah
Knowledge God

Chai
