[00:10.185][Chorus]
[00:10.426]Hey homeboy you don't understand (you don’t understand)
[00:13.679]And I can't understand (and I can't understand why)
[00:16.686]Why you don’t understand (Why you don't understand)
[00:19.182]That you can be a better man (That you can be a better man)
[00:21.933]Hey homeboy you don't understand
[00:23.431][Verse 1]
[00:23.930]You've been a man without a plan
[00:25.938]And just because you are
[00:27.935]Doesn't make you less a man
[00:29.679]Get up and do somethin'
[00:30.689]Before you lose somethin'
[00:32.186]Get yourself an education
[00:33.684]If you wanna prove somethin'
[00:36.180]Yeah you’re pretty bad, right?
[00:37.936]Leave you in the dark
[00:38.934]Left behind without a flashlight
[00:40.931]Blinded, criminal minded
[00:42.683]So you’ve been blind sided
[00:44.180]Where'd all the time go?
[00:45.179]Probably like a slideshow
[00:47.187]Put down the pipa
[00:48.433]Pick up a book
[00:49.429]You might surprised
[00:50.682]And realize that’s all it took
[00:52.937]Be optimistic and listen
[00:54.189]And see your vision
[00:55.433]It's right in front of you
[00:56.431]It's up to you it's your decision
[00:57.941]Read what’s written
[00:58.939][Pre-Chorus]
[00:59.181]You've been blind
[00:59.938]And you can't see
[01:01.435]All the things that you could be
[01:04.431]Looking back, it's killing me
[01:06.681]Cause you're not where you should be
[01:08.437][Chorus]
[01:08.936]Hey homeboy you don't understand (you don't understand)
[01:12.185]And I can't understand (and I can't understand why)
[01:14.939]Why you don't understand (Why you don't understand)
[01:17.689]That you can be a better man (That you can be a better man)
[01:20.684]Hey homeboy you don't understand
[01:22.182][Verse 2]
[01:22.682]Open your eyes
[01:23.193]And look at the bigger picture
[01:24.691]There's more to you
[01:25.435]You're more than what's been written in the scripture
[01:27.686]Take a look around
[01:29.441]See what's going down
[01:30.182]And try to understand the world is bigger than your town
[01:33.434]Don't you wanna be a better person?
[01:35.186]Do all you can
[01:36.184]Be all you can be
[01:37.440]Just to be a better man
[01:39.692]Live and learn
[01:40.690]But at the same time learn to live
[01:42.188]Learn to give
[01:42.932]The future is the kids
[01:44.185]That's what it is
[01:45.183]Take a good look at yourself
[01:46.439]And tell me what you see
[01:48.190]Tell me why you don't see the same things as me
[01:51.443]You need to wake up wake up shape up
[01:53.440]Shape up and ship out
[01:55.437]Face up lace up, let's go
[01:56.436][Pre-Chorus]
[01:56.935]You've been blind
[01:58.687]And you can't see
[01:59.942]All the things that you could be
[02:02.692]Looking back, it's killing me
[02:05.434]Cause you're not where you should be
[02:07.185][Chorus]
[02:07.442]Hey homeboy you don't understand (you don't understand)
[02:10.692]And I can't understand (and I can't understand why)
[02:13.445]Why you don't understand (Why you don't understand)
[02:16.195]That you can be a better man (That you can be a better man)
[02:18.937]Hey homeboy you don't understand
[02:19.690]
[02:20.189][Verse 3]
[02:20.435]Your actions have consequences
[02:23.185]Learn your lesson change direction
[02:24.940]Make corrections
[02:26.192]Know the answer to the question
[02:27.936]Before it's asked to you
[02:29.188]No excuses
[02:29.944]You just have to do what you have to do
[02:32.195]If you don't want to
[02:33.693]Then once again I've lost you
[02:35.190]But in the long run holmes
[02:36.945]It's gonna cost you
[02:38.186]You may not see it now
[02:39.696]May not believe it now
[02:41.194]I can guarantee it though
[02:42.437]Sígale míralo
[02:44.189]Pobrecito el hombre en el espejó
[02:46.697]With no clue what to do
[02:47.695]The best way out is always through
[02:49.937]Yesterday is history
[02:50.948]Tomorrow's a mystery
[02:52.188]And today?
[02:53.187]Today's a gift
[02:54.198]That's why we call it the present
[02:55.442][Pre-Chorus]
[02:55.695]You've been blind
[02:57.692]And you can't see
[02:58.449]All the things that you could be
[03:01.444]Looking back, it's killing me
[03:03.940]Cause you're not where you should be
[03:05.695][Chorus]
[03:05.949]Hey homeboy you don't understand (you don't understand)
[03:08.944]And I can't understand (and I can't understand why)
[03:11.940]Why you don't understand (Why you don't understand)
[03:14.694]That you can be a better man (That you can be a better man)
[03:17.689]Hey homeboy you don't understand
