[Intro] Yeah… Ooh-na-na-na… Sunrise on my shoulder, lessons in my stride… Yeah… listen… [Verse 1] I woke up with the ocean in my mind today, Tryna keep my head above the waves today. Some days sweet like a summer breeze, Some days heavy like the roots of a tree. Grandma told me, “Slow down, child, Life ain’t a race, don’t run every mile.” I didn’t listen, I was chasin’ the gold, Now I’m learning some things can’t be bought or sold. [Pre-Chorus] And every scar got a story, Every storm got a reason. Every loss made me stronger, Every moment’s got a reason. [Chorus] I understand sometimes, I need to learn some days. Life keeps teachin’ lessons, In mysterious ways. Through the sunshine and rain, Through the joy and the pain, I understand sometimes, Every lesson helps me change. [Rap Verse] Okay, hold up, let me talk my talk. I spent years tryna be somebody else, Stacking expectations on a shelf. Looking in the mirror like, “Who is that?” Running from myself while I followed the pack. Everybody posting like they got no fears, Meanwhile they’re crying through the filters and cheers. And me? I was carrying a backpack full of doubt, Trying to find the courage just to let it all out. I learned that growth ain’t pretty, Sometimes it’s ugly and gritty. Sometimes you’re lost in the city, Looking for signs of mercy and pity. But every wrong turn became a map, Every heartbreak became a track. Every setback built my backbone strong, Now I turn those lessons into songs. [Chorus] I understand sometimes, I need to learn some days. Life keeps teachin’ lessons, In mysterious ways. Through the sunshine and rain, Through the joy and the pain, I understand sometimes, Every lesson helps me change. [Bridge] One day you’re flying high, Next day you’re questioning why. But if the roots stay deep inside, The strongest trees survive. So I breathe in, let go, Trust the path I didn’t know. Every step, every fall, Wasn’t wasted after all. [Final Chorus] I understand sometimes, I need to learn some days. Life keeps teachin’ lessons, In mysterious ways. And though I don’t know everything, I’m growing all the same. I understand sometimes… That’s how we find our way. Ooh-na-na-na… Ooh-na-na-na… [Outro] Yeah… Ooh-na-na-na… I understand sometimes, I need to learn some days.
