Now I Understand

I never thought it would come down to this
My frustrations got me living in a cell nobody's bound to miss
Ever since I was a kid, was always down to win
Looking out a dirty window with my frowns and grins
Displaced from the ways that I'm trying to chase
Misplaced in this place and I'm trying to wake
My inner self, lying at the bottom end of the abyss
Wanna scream so loud, but I'm caught up in the midst of a...
Dark open sea of blood from the lack of love
Picture perfect on a tainted glove
And I got so much in mind it's at the tip of my tongue
Striving for my own reflection with the sound of the drum
Cause this life ain't what it seems when you're trying to get by

Got a whole lot to redeem once I'm ready to fly
Toss out my inhibitions, cross paths with intuition
Questioning my own existence looking up at the sky
And now I understand...

Now I understand my man so what's the plan?
Now I understand my man so what's the plan?
Now I understand my man so what's the plan?
Now I understand

And here I go again, picking up the pieces to my soul
Trying to find a steady balance, trying to keep it in control
There's no telling when or where, gotta get up and go
Backpack, pen and pad, destination unknown
And no I won't stress this mind I'm so blessed with
Aligned with the message the rhymes they don't mess with
I'm prone to refine a game that's so hectic
Tame yet still restless, sane but don't test this
I'm reaching through the fire but man, it feels senseless
I'm really fucking tired but man, they don't get shit I really should retire but man, I won't let them
Confuse me for another asshole with no message
It goes on, the time that keeps passing be by
I keep putting work for passion, I won't pacify
All the plans I got in mind I try to analyse
And gratify the moments I find toward the open sky
I'm holding mine with a steady grip, take a sip
Learned to grasp the lessons I've earned and not to let 'em slip
I've opened up a door that's unknown and been invited in
To question all the options I'm thrown, 'til the very end

And Now I understand...
Now I understand my man so what's the plan?
Now I understand my man so what's the plan?
Now I understand my man so what's the plan?
Now I understand...
