Say I Don’t Know Sooner

(hummmm) I don’t know,

and that’s okay

Say it early, clear the way

I used to

nod like I knew the map While my head did circles in

my cap Smiled through it,

kept it on track But the truth kept pulling me back So

I breathe, and I let it show One small phrase makes room

to grow If I’m lost,

I won’t put on a show I’ll just say,

I don’t know

Hold up, wait, let it land I’m not scared to understand Ask

me straight, I won’t pretend Name the gap and start again

Say “I don’t know” sooner

Cut the act, get truer Open hands,

no armor

Let the lesson move through ya

Say “I don’t know” sooner Then we build it,

we tune up Honest words hit harder

That’s the way we level up

I don’t know, I don’t

know

Tell me now, let it show

I don’t know, that’s real Teach me

quick, let’s build Boss asks why,

and I pause a beat Old me would lie through my teeth

Now I’m steady on my feet No fake answers,

no retreat I can’t learn what I won’t admit So I drop

the pride, let it sit Ask a question,

take a hit Get it right,

piece by piece

It’s a doorway, not a fault It’s a pause before the vault

Say it calm, say it slow Watch the pressure let you go

Say it now, no cover Bring the truth to the surface When

you don’t know, you discover New steps,

new purpose I don’t know,

say it sooner I don’t know,

make it cooler I don’t know,

that’s power We get better by the hour I don’t know,

say it clean Ask for help,

change the scene I don’t know,

then we go From the ground up,

let’s grow

Say “I don’t know” sooner Then you find what’s true (hummmm)
