To not know & own it (Single Version)

by Ben Enalo

about

When "home" stands in the way of being who you truly are, even "home" is not the place for you.

The first time you leave you will be nervous but with every step you'll grow in the radness of not knowing & owning it.

lyrics

Keep your eyes on the prize
Feet on the staircase
Be a slave until
you think freely

Just to not know and own it
Just to show up for yourself
Just to not know and own it
Just to be true to me

and all I know
is I don't belong home
not right now

Keep your eyes on the prize
Keep your feet in the ice skates
be a maze until
you reach the end

Just to not know and own it
Just to show up for yourself
Just to not know and own it
Just to be true to me

all I know
is I don't belong home
not right now

Here they come, stand your ground
Beedy eyed little judges
5 seconds on the shot clock
Mamba* taught me well

Just to not know and own it
Just to show up for yourself
Just to not know and own it
Just to be truly me
(Just to be who I be)

and all I know is I don't belong home
not right now, not right now
all I know is I don't belong home
not right now

* - without question the greatest player to ever play the game of basketball. Kobe Bryant.
