I Understand Lyrics

Chorus:
So look straight into my eyes
Tell me the truth and not lies
And now I understand
And now I understand

Too good to be true, our worlds collide
Tell me the truth and not lies
And now I understand

Verse 1:
This world is filled of evil, Im sure you all must know
That being fake is easy man the real you's hard to show
Although you'd kill to be yourself, you've predicted the results
You just want to be accepted, no one likes to be the joke

So we lie, and we cheat, becoming something we're not
God for bid we are ourselves, we'll be left alone to rot
So we act how others act, and we get what others got
Until the day we're all the same, and we flying in flocks

Now you're talking like your boys, and you're repping the block
The block you never even lived on, stereotyped on the spot
Your boy passes you the blunt, now you're smoking that pot
Cause it relieves you from the stress that every other actors got
In too deep you've changed your name, hell you know its insane
But you've got the worlds attention, yet deep down your ashamed
So you look at your crew and you're all dressed the same
You love the sweater grandma knit you but you tell her its lame
SHAME!

Chorus:
"Yo I think I finally get it, ya know, it's like, it's like, when you're young
They teach you, they teach you, whats right from wrong
Then you get a little bit older and they teach you whats moral and whats not moral
Realistically we're just a product of the media, ya know? Thats not our fault
You gotta, you gotta go out there and experience life for yourself
Yea okay, you know, you'll make mistakes but thats how you learn
Ya know? But like I said, you'll make mistakes"

Verse 2
That's right I know how it works, these accusations are true
Cause I was once that boy, until I learned and I grew
You could follow the crowd, you could do what they do
But you ain't going nowhere, change your point of view

Now I know it ain't easy, but you gotta do you
If the door won't open up then you gotta push through
See I can rap about bullshit, like everyone else
You wanna be hard bitch, try being yourself
See now thats whats I did, and Im doing alright
I admit my life ain't perfect, but Im in the ring and I fight
My shoes are worn out, shirt is ripped, Im uptight
Im still walking down my tunnel, but Im finally seeing light

I communicate through music, the only way I know how
The world tends to seem smaller when you travel though sound
I speak though my raps and I write I how I wanna
Whats the point of being FiO if Its through a false persona huh?

Chorus
"Ya know, so like I was saying before, same thing. Product of the media
Don't, don't look at what somebody else is wearing or what someone else is doin'
And, and what music their listening to. Like, if you wanna listen to FiO, you listen
To FiO cause you love FiO, you don't listen to FiO cause somebody else is listening to FiO
You don't wear that shirt cause somebody else is fucking doin' it! You Do You!

Verse 3
Every Superman has his Clark Kent, (Clark Kent)
Every Batman, a Bruce Wayne (Bruce Wayne)
Being Spiderman Is great, no one knows who to blame
But it's the Peter Parkers in this world that keep us sane

Every Superman has his Clark Kent, (Clark Kent)
Every Batman, a Bruce Wayne (Bruce Wayne)
Being Spiderman Is great, no one knows who to blame
But it's the Peter Parkers in this world that keep us sane
Chorus:
So look straight into my eyes
Tell me the truth and not lies
And now I understand
And now I understand

Too good to be true, our worlds collide
Tell me the truth and not lies
And now I understand
Now I understand
