Know Me

[00:00.56] They don't the things I did to get to here
[00:03.36] Crystal ball was always cloudy never crystal clear
[00:05.90] What everybody do in life I do that in a year
[00:08.67] But sometimes I wanna cop a jet and then just disappear
[00:11.90] They don't see me when I'm walking right back to the place
[00:13.70] I was sitting in doubt
[00:14.66] Finger on trigger that metal to settle a problem
[00:16.39] I had that shit right in my mouth
[00:17.48] They ain't see fights with the lady she driving me crazy
[00:19.22] She hate me I'm kicking her out
[00:20.43] They ain't see when the police had me cuffed and arrested
[00:22.17] And beat up outside of my house
[00:23.17] They ain't never lose five hundred thou'
[00:24.75] They ain't never help everyone out
[00:26.27] Just to get shit on in the end
[00:27.72] Chewed up like gristle and spitted back out
[00:29.06] Rock of the family I'm holding it down
[00:30.68] Supposed to make everyone happy and proud
[00:32.16] I can't even be sad, 'cause look what I have
[00:33.85] That'd make me look like a coward
[00:35.03] They don' t know that I'm struggling too
[00:36.45] They don't know what I'm hustling through
[00:37.80] They ain't never live how I did
[00:39.19] With a knife on me when I'm coming to school
[00:40.94] Always knew I had something to prove
[00:42.39] Always knew that I wasn't gon' lose
[00:43.63] But maybe I'm losing myself in the process
[00:44.98] Addicted to making this money in moves
[00:46.81] Yeah, how you cope and carry hella burdens
[00:49.66] Still be serving everybody else and they think that you're perfect
[00:52.95] They always treat me like a figure and never a person
[00:55.57] Sometimes I gotta ask myself, "Is it really worth it?"
[00:57.83] They think that they know me
[01:00.05] I ain't let 'em' round to get close enough
[01:02.73] Really they been think on the old me
[01:05.43] They the first to fold when times get rough
[01:08.24] Then they come back crawling
[01:10.31] They making requests that always come with stipulations
[01:13.10] Where we're you when I was cooking up in the basement
[01:15.72] Hold up be quiet while they try to bring out the old me
[01:18.82] Don't let 'em close still they thinking that they all know me
[01:22.04] Tell the truth
[01:23.10] No matter what I say they won't listen
[01:25.89] So really tell me now what's the use?
[01:27.97] Start a war to eventually making a truce
[01:30.55] Turn their back and whisper they don't get my point of view
[01:33.31] Yeah, I know
[01:34.33] This exactly why I'd rather go and take the high road
[01:37.35] They ain't see nothing like this before like they eyes closed
[01:40.37] Greatest that you never heard I put that on the Bible
[01:42.90] Focus on survival but
[01:44.49] They think that they know me
[01:46.61] I ain't let 'em' round to get close enough
[01:49.49] Really they been think on the old me
[01:51.86] They the first to fold when times get rough
[01:54.94] Then they come back crawling
[01:56.89] They making requests that always come with stipulations
[01:59.99] Where we're you when I was cooking up in the basement
[02:02.74] Hold up be quiet while they try to bring out the old me
[02:05.60] Don't let 'em close still they thinking that they all know me
[02:08.66]
