Analysis of I Don't Know
I Don't Know, Don't understand !
What is lift's overall purpose and
plan !
Do all I can for those that I love, still
not enough can't keep my head above .
I Don't Know which way to turn, seem to
fall behind with everything I learn !
So I keep on doing what I Know I should,
not enough time to go like living in the hood >
I Don't Know which way to turn will it be right
now for me my bridges to burn ?
Not to look back leave all let it go, you see,
or stay accept thing live on and be.
I Don't Know is it time to change or you see or
you know just me !
