Jake Ba** - Do You Know What I Mean lyrics

When I was a kid, I used to think that the world was flat Til' I read a book about it, changed my thinking, made me laugh Underestimated things that are up ahead What you thinks okay today, years from now may be bad The only constant are connections, deeply rooted from the past We all think the gra** is greener, til' we taste a little gra** I carry words in my head, from the people in my past Never take for granted basic things, like a simple breath Don't like to preach, don't always understand the seeker Things you think can make you strong really make you weaker Nothings good or bad, it's all in its usage And attitude is everything, though sometimes we all lose it Facts and fiction confused like reality and perception Making mistakes doesn't always mean you need correcting Read between the lines about the things that you're protecting Don't always need a microscope to see what you're inspecting Do you know what I mean? Sometimes you gotta let it out Sometimes you just got to scream Do you know what I mean? Do you know what I mean? Do you know what I mean? Sometimes you gotta let it out Sometimes you just got to scream Just because you have bad luck, doesn't mean you're cursed Being satisfied doesn't mean you always finish first It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission Even though at times you hate making those decisions Just cause you wear gla**es doesn't mean you're smart Artists and mathematicians really aren't that far apart C students run the world, cause they had to try If things come to easy there's no fire in your eye When there's smoke, there's usually fire you don't want to ingest The older I get I realize more is less Most of us are warped in the way we judge success Sitting in our comfort zone while someone's crawling from the wreck Do you know what I mean? Sometimes you gotta let it out Sometimes you just got to scream Do you know what I mean? Do you know what I mean? Do you know what I mean? Sometimes you gotta let it out Sometimes you just got to scream It's easy to sit back, and never say a thing It's easy to be nothing, or a puppet on a string Walking away they say that you're a bigger man And if you get run over it's just part of the plan Being close to your enemies Is hard to understand Til' you've had your back to them Survived the knife in their hand Patience is a virtue but we wait in the weeds I think we're all just led around on a leash As long as they meet our most basic needs Air, food, water, and a little TV As long as they meet our most basic needs Doped with air, food, religion, and a little TV Do you know what I mean? Sometimes you gotta let it out Sometimes you just got to scream Do you know what I mean? Do you know what I mean? Do you know what I mean? Sometimes you gotta let it out Sometimes you just got to scream
