Better Know

from The Journey by John Blood

/

lyrics

I say me can’t keep running from the rings that hard inna me life
‘Cause they will find another place to fill up my mind
And when me head done full of unsolved, unresolved
And incomplete problems
Well InI turn away and let time pass
While anxiety stay and fester
And then become something else
This can’t be the way to heal myself

Chorus
But Jah help those who help themselves
Don’t wait for something that may never happen
To reveal itself
Whether you win or lose is not the issue
Got to learn if we ever gonna grow, better know

True say it nah easy to see a way forward
When jealousy run tings
And when hypocrisy run tings
And when self-righteousness and greed is king
But that don't mean InI get a pass from reality
‘Cause there’s no escaping
And all the herbal procrastinating
Just make me more skilled at writing while doing nothing

Chorus

‘Cause it’s just one chance we get to experience life
And it would be a shame if we do nothing ‘cause we fear our own light
What’s the point of an education if you’re afraid to take a risk
Cultured naysayers and clever vibe snipers are anti-human so pay no attention

Walk good, walk tall and walk strong
‘Cause the journey is long
Do the things that you love and you should
And you will soon belong

Chorus
