Who Knows

I tried to take the stress off my heart and my head
So I take the time and put it in my artwork instead
I craft a verse and put my hurt in the message
Give my struggle to the beat and let the music digest it
And when the world leaves me wretched and weak
I let speech be my rightful release
It's so dope just to know I can cope
Somehow when my pulse is converted to half notes
I breathe out
And take the rhythm in
The medicine for my emotional predicament
Cause when it happens to you it seems different
But deep down you know it's really the same shit
And then you get up, strive and work steadily
And when you ridin' high, it all feels heavenly
And I know when you crash it's unsettling
But you get back up on your bike and keep pedaling
To the same beat, the rhythm that I live
My heart beats musical equivalent
Pumping refrains through my veins so lovingly
It brings you back to an astonishing recovery

And usually it's even harder to let the pain go
Cause when the storm is the norm
You're depressed and you're wrecked
You can start to forget that
After all the strain, it's rain that makes thangs grow
And I know if you're goal is to hold on
All you're doing is making the pain prolong
Realize that you're done with dejection
Don't maintain a connection to the thing that's got you stressin'
Let the music soothe you and remove you
From the situation your grief got you glued to
And though you like to end the night with a kiss
At the end of the day, it is what it is

And it is
Hard to achieve what your head needs and your heart wants
Internal conflict can get you quite lost
Cause the head might not perceive what your heart needs
And the heart can't always grasp what your head sees
So you can't simply let your heart lead you
Cause things can both be wrong and feel right too
And though your logic is the compass for your actions
Logic doesn't encompass the laws of attraction
So my guess is it's best when they interact
Combine your heart's GPS with your mental map
The balance of passion and reason is an art
And though it is possible I never said it wasn't hard

And I don't know where to start whether to follow my heart
I don't know where to start whether to follow my heart
I don't know where to start whether to follow my heart
I don't know where to start whether to follow my heart

Who knows
Who knows
Who knows

And so
Do both
