​understand

[Verse 1]
I'm laying down under the stars
Wondering what they all are
Some days they feeling so close
But others they feeling so far
Kinda like things in my life
The love that I hold in my heart
Whatever fulfilling your dreams
Has power to tear you apart
'Cause everything come with a cost
Some people whose focus get lost
The wisdom inside of these flows
Is also admitting my flaws
See, I ain't too proud to say I'm not perfect
I live with a lot of these thoughts
I hate what's inside of my head, but
I can't make it stop
It's why I like taking these chances
Moments where growth advances
We stare at the moon, a canvas
While writing these poems and stanzas
Though I make my bed, I sleep on the floor
I guess I've been searching for answers
'Cause shit don't reflect what's at my core
I'm tryna pick at my standards
I do all the things that I should
Regretting some others I could
I'm finally taking a stand
The difference what make you a man

[Refrain]
Easier said than done, I know
When things are not going as planned
But I do my best with weight on my chest
Some people just won't understand
They won't understand
Some people just won't understand

[Verse 2]
Yeah
I kinda like being alone
The days I don't look at my phone
'Cause all I ever feel is anxious
'Round some people I don't know
They talk about this, they gossip 'bout that
But I rather be back at home
Where I can perfect my craft
And build out a family life on my own
It's evident nothing is fair
So I hold my memories with care
'Cause no one know day-time or hour
And that's about all that I fear
Yeah, they say the eyes the window inside of the soul
So look at mine clear
And tell me exactly, what do you see?
'Cause I see a future right here
I'm sorry, that's deep—personal
I change a lot—versatile
Tell me what's love if it's not compassionately
Forgiving and merciful
I try and reap what I sow and preach what I know
And give back to people who need it the most
Even on Mondays and when I feel down
'Cause talking is one thing, but actions, they show
So, I'm doing whatever I can
To put out the flames I fanned
Where in the past, I ran

[Refrain]
Easier said than done, I know
When things are not going as planned
But I do my best with weight on my chest
Some people just won't understand
They won't understand
