Lot to Learn

The sands of time have come and gone
And all we know is movin' on
What are we supposed to do?

We've got a lot to learn (whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
We've got a lot to learn (whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now?
Can you see me now? Can you see that now
We've got a lot to learn? (Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Live and you learn, reap what you sow (sow)
Just be quiet, speak what you know (know)
Hold on the line, know sometimes
It gets tough and you gotta grind (yo)
Stayed in my lane, made it through the rain
Just did me and I never did change (never)
Old head said, "No pain, no gain"
Just went hard, didn't play no games

Go hard or go home, in my zone
Did my road work on my own
Just kept my eyes focused on that throne
And I knew the whole time that it wouldn't be long
Said, "My time was comin'", kept on waitin'
Took a little perseverance and patience
Focused, affirmed with determination
Mixed a little discipline with a little dedication (come on)

No vacation, off to the races
Every single time that I tighten my laces
I ain't never hear what the critics was sayin'
They must have thought this was just entertainment
All of a sudden, now you famous
Everybody watchin', everythin' changin' (changin')
Must admit this stuff been crazy
I still make mistakes on a daily basis (come on)

We've got a lot to learn (whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
We've got a lot to learn (whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now?
Can you see me now? Can you see that now
We've got a lot to learn? (Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Song with a struggle, song of redemption
Song for the young kid goin' to detention
Dad was a pimp, mom was a stripper
Sits around with his headphones and he listens
And he does all the things that he gets to see all of these celebrities do
And he talks to me, so understand it
I'm gon' tell him the truth

Tell him that he gotta pray, keep his faith
Stay away from all these snakes
Scandalous game every day
What it takes just to make you stay determined
Understand it, it's a journey
Real man never stops learnin'
When you speak, you speak with purpose

Pay attention to bridges burned
Don't let 'em say that you worthless
Only Jesus was perfect
The rest of us are hurtin', that's for certain
And we gon' keep on workin' 'til the curtains get closed
And then wake back up the next day and go to work, and yeah, that's us

Where were you when I needed you?
Oh, we've got a lot to learn
We've got a lot to learn
Alone in the moment, livin' this life
Truth can hurt you, sharp as a knife
And when the pain comes on
We've gotta hold on
We've got a lot to learn (whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
We've got a lot to learn (whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

We've got a lot to learn (whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
We've got a lot to learn (whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? (Whoa-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh) can you see me now? Can you see that now
We've got a lot to learn?
