I Know [Controversy Music, ASCAP - 1988]
------
Rain is wet, and sugar is sweet
Clap your hands, and stomp your feet
Everybody, everybody knows
When love calls, you gotta go
(I Know) {{repeated in the background}}
([Listen, the soul of this song belongs to God])
Welcome 2 the New Power Generation
The reason my voice is so clear
Is there's no smack in my brain
Hundalasiliah
ha na na-sha na na na na na na
I know there is a heaven, I know there is a hell
Listen 2 me people, I got a story to tell
I know there was confusion lightnin' all around me
That's when I called his name don't you know he found me
No! Is what Spooky Electric say, it's not OK
But I know love is the only way till my dying day
No - til my dying day I'll be OK
Cuz Lovesexy is the one til my day is done
Hundalasiliah
I know there is a devil because he talks so loud
He makes U do things that your friends do, hang out with the crowd
But my Lord he is so quiet when He calls your name
When U hear it your heart will thunder
U will want 2 hear it every day
No! (people) Is what Spooky Electric say (everbody say)
But don't U know that I know
Love is the only way, til my dying day
No - Til my dying day I'll be OK
Cuz Lovesexy is the one til my day is done
Hundalasiliah
Alright y'all, everybody in the house (serve it up, Frankie)

{{ song breaks down into a crowd noise... }}
tell ya what...
Man, are we on the guest list?
Guest list? Guest list?
I don't see no 5 dollars you owe...
I'm gonna go to the car
I'm goin' home.
I'm gonna have one of them sandwiches.
[sleep] sandwich, that's right
I need the green three sheets.
That's right.
(that's what I'm talkin' about)
A peanut-butter sandwich (her and her girlfriend)
(the one that was standin')
{D} (right next to my woman...)
(right next to my woman)
Let us praise God {E}
with the fruit of the vine ((My name's Andre Crabtree III))
our [innocent] symbol of glory ((I've got more holes than a golf course))
and thank him for lessons
( I Know, I know, oh yes, I know! )
I know what it means
to be lost in the dark!
I know what it means
to be tossed by the storm!
I have walked alone
with a heart of stone
and despair too heavy for tears,
but you caught my heart
and you taught my heart
to forget it's doubts and fear!
And now that I know
the joy of your love
My head is high, I can face the sky
and know that heaven is here below,
I know . . .
For you I could die,
for you I will live,
I know!
( I Know, I know, I know! )
I know you don't love me no more
No more, no, no more
And I don't wanna be hurt
Anymore, anymore
I love so hard
Everything I did was no joy
If I can't love you right, baby
I don't have to love you at all
I know you don't want me no more
No more, no, no more
And I need someone else
Who's gonna love me more, love me more
Ain't no need me cryin' now
After you have put me down
If you don't want me no more, baby
Ain't no use you hangin' 'round
I know you don't want me no more
No more, no, no more
And I need someone else
Who's gonna love me more, love me more
Ain't no need me cryin' now
After you have put me down
If you don't want me no more, baby
Ain't no use you hangin' 'round
I know you don't want me no more
I know, I know
I don't wanna be hurt
Anymore, anymore
After you have put me down
Ain't no use you hangin' 'round
If you don't want me no more, baby
I KNOW
You have got your troubles
And I have got my problems
And we´re never gonna get a solution
No matter how hard we try
Our time is only passin' by
We'll never get a revolution
I know, we can't, change the world today
No matter what we do
I know
We got to be strong
I know
We got it all wrong
Planet earth is spinning
With a thousand miles per hour
And there's nothing we can do about it
A total mass suicide could never help us to survive
But we're to stupid to believe it
I know, we can, save the world today
But someone has to pay
I know
We got to be strong
I know
We got it all wrong
ADL rap
A total mass suicide could never help us to survive
But we're to stupid to believe it
I know
We got to be strong
I know
We got it all wrong
I know
We got to be strong
I know
We got it all wrong

She fiends for me nightly
She leans for me
Morning she rush for my touch
This is about LUST
Cold sweats occur when I'm not with her
My presence is a must- must- must-
Bonita Applebum, i gotta put you on
If i didn't when we cuttin' the feeling would be too strong
In any form, i'm giving you sweet dreams
That Sugar Hill, she call me her sweet thing
That Black Rain that take away your pain
Just for one night, baby, take me in vein
Now that feelin' got you trippin'

I am so DOPE
Like Louboutins with the red bottoms
You gotta have 'em, you glad you got 'em
Like every color Giuseppe's, your guilty pleasure is me
Its so much fun, you shun therapy
Although it never be, the feeling is fleeting
Shopping's like coppin', you constantly need it
I'm never around, you constantly seek it
You'll never be down, i know where your peak is
9 1/2 weeks is better than 12-steps
I keep tryin' to remind you to keep tellin' yourself
Now your conscience is interfering, like "Better yourself!"
Like you better get help
But when that medicine's felt?
We're back together
Don't ever leave me
Don't ever let 'em tell you that you'll never need me
My China White, 'til we D.O.A.
Its Montego forever, baby, lets get away....

How could you leave me?
I thought that you needed me!
When the world got too much and you pleaded with me--
Who helped you immediately?
How speedy of me!
How could you deny me so vehemently?
Now your body is shakin' trying to free it of me
And your soul is in control, trying to lead it from me
And your heart no longer pledge allegiance to me
Damn, i'm missing the days when you needed the D

The years have passed so quickly,
One thing I understood:
I'm only learning to tell the trees from wood.
I know what's coming down
And I know where it's coming from.
And I know and I'm sorry, yes, I am,
But I never could speak my mind.
And I know just how you feel,
And I know now what I have done.
And I know and I'm guilty, yes, I am,
But I never could read your mind.
I know what I was missing,
But now my eyes can see.
I put myself in your place as you did for me.
Today,
I love you more than yesterday, yeh,
Right now,
I love you more, right no-oo-oo-oo-ow.
And I know what's coming down
And I know where it's coming from.
And I know it's getting better all the time,
As we share in each other's mind.
Today,
I love you more than yesterday, hey,
Right now,
I love you more, right no-oo-oo-oo-ow.
Uh, uh -
No more crying,
Uh, uh -
No more crying,
Uh, uh -
No more crying,
Uh, uh -
I feel the rush, rush
Are we coming to the edge of a waterfall?
Is it your touch, touch?
I can see it in your eyes that you want it all
Can I give you everything that you’ll ever need?
Ooh forever starts right now
Like a wind at a sail driving on a sea
Only you can show me how
Chorus:
You can tell me now
That I’ll never come down
I know, I know
You can show me light
When we sleep at night
I know, I know
This river runs deep
And the moon glides by
And the mountains lay wet with snow
And your love comes back like a faithful tide
Teaching everything I know
Woh-ooh Woh-ooh-oh-oh
Woh-ooh Woh-ooh-oh-oh
Woh-ooh Woh-ooh-oh-oh
Woh-ooh Woh-ooh-oh-oh
Is it too much, much?
Because it’s written in the skies who we really are
Am I in love, love?
Deeper is the dark brighter shining stars
Can we be everything that we wanna be?
Ooh never let this die
Feel the wave of your kiss washing over me
Only you can get me high
Chorus
Woh-ooh Woh-ooh-oh-oh
Woh-ooh Woh-ooh-oh-oh
Woh-ooh Woh-ooh-oh-oh
Woh-ooh Woh-ooh-oh-oh
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
I know why I like you
It's 'cause of your haircut and your clothing
And 'cause you're racist.
I have a match; your face,
My asking you questions you can't answer
You want to box me?
Our world works in a weird way
I've heard them say a man with a beard may
Frighten children or dogs but a moustache scares me more
I know why you bite me
It's cause of your canines and your instincts
And 'cause I kicked you
I have a bone to pick;
Please go on the paper and fetch me my slippers
And stop meowing.
Man's best friend wags his tail and
Bares his teeth to the man with the mail and
Though he's frightened of thunder he never goes to war
Tell me what's the circumstance of circumcision?
And what goes in my daughter's pants is whose decision?
I've seen the facts of inter-race relations,
Of see-through slacks, of cyber-masturbation;
If a hundred monkeys each could get their own show,
Perhaps one day a chimp might say
You have faith, you just need to use it sayeth the Lord
I know why I like you
It's 'cause of your sandals and your supper
and 'cause you're Jesus
I have a match; your Dad, my dad has
Your picture right next to your mother's
And one of Charo
They hold hands up in heaven
And they say that their son's name is Kevin

Everybody's talkin' in the homeroom
Plans are being made for after school
Should you tell them how you're really feelin'
Or go along and play it cool
Well, I know, I know
How it feels, I know, I know
Everybody's talkin', about a good time
Something tells you something isn't right
But when you're lonely and the pressure's on you
It's really hard to stand and fight
Well, I know, I know
How you feel
Torn between the mind of the crowd
And the matters of the heart
I know, I know
How you feel, I know, I know
There's a light that holds you in the darkness
There's a candle burning in the wind
And if you can lean upon the Father
You can find the strength within
Well, I know, I know
That you can
Now it seems like everybody's against you
And no one realy cares
You don't know who to trust,
You don't know where to turn
Well at least you know you've got a prayer
So reach out for the one who understands you
Oh, He's been there
He knows, He knows
How you feel
Well, I know, that He knows, He knows
I know, I know, that He knows
Dear Lord, I come to You a humble man
Asking Your forgiveness for all my sins that I've committed throughout my life
And Lord, I ask of You one more thing
Have mercy on my enemies, for they not know what they do
As we proceed, Chapter II
I know it gets hard for us sometimes
And I know we can't stop living this life
I know it gets harder everyday
But I know we can't stop living this way
Some days I would say there's got to be a better way
See, I don't know if I want to live my life like this for each and every day
But now I found that I've got to say
Even though it gets hard, I came this far
And I can't live my life no other way
I tried to figure out if there's another path for me
'Cause all these ups and downs and ins and outs be kind of stressing me
But I could never see myself living like nothing else
It's hard to tell, but I know this life too well
Sometimes people just don't know
What they are and what to follow
Even when it don't seem right
Get on by and live your life
Oooooh, oooooh
Oooooh, oooooh
Yeah, for all my peoples living that everyday life
Sometimes you gon' have ups, sometimes you gon' have downs
Fight through that y'all, keep pushin' it, don't ever stop pushin, don't ever stop believing
Take the good with the bad
You know, it's gon' be alright
Ashanti, I.G.
Remember the first day when I saw your face
Remember the first day when you smiled at me
You stepped to me and then you said to me
I was the woman you dreamed about
Remember the first day when you called my house
Remember the first day when you took me out
We had butterflys
Although we tried to hide it
And we both had a beautiful night
The way we held each others hand
The way we talked
The way we laughed
I it felt so good to find true love
I knew right then and there you were the one
I know that he loves me 'cause he told me so
I know that he loves me 'cause his feelings show
And when he's stares at me
You see he cares for me
You see how he is so deep in love
I know that he loves me 'cause its obvious
I know that he loves me 'cause its me he trusts
And he's missin' me
If he's not kissing me
And when he looks at me his brown eyes tell it so
Remember the first day, the first day we kissed
Remember the first day we had an arguement
We apologized and then we compromised
And we haven't argued since
Remember the first day we stopped playing games
Remember the first day you feel in love with me
It felt so good for you to say those words
'Cause I felt the same way too
The way we held each other's hand
The way we talked, the way we laughed
It felt so good to fall in love
And I knew right then and there you were the one
I know that he loves me 'cause he told me so
I know that he loves me 'cause his feelings show
And when he's stares at me
You see he cares for me
You see how he is so deep in love
I know that he loves me 'cause its obvious
I know that he loves me 'cause its me he trusts
And he's missin' me
If he's not kissing me
And when he looks at me his brown eyes tell it so
I'm so happy
So happy that you're in my life
And baby now that youre a part of me
You've shown me
Shown me the true meaning of love (the true meaning of love)
I know he loves me
I know that he loves me 'cause he told me so
I know that he loves me 'cause his feelings show
And when he's stares at me
You see he cares for me
You see how he is so deep in love
I know that he loves me 'cause its obvious
I know that he loves me 'cause its me he trusts
And he's missin' me
If he's not kissing me
And when he looks at me his brown eyes tell it so
I know you don't love me no more, no more
No, no more
It had to be somebody else for loving you more
Loving you more
Ain't no use in you crying now
After you have put me down
And if you don't want me no more, baby
There ain't no use in me hanging around
I know you don't love me no more, no more
No, no more
I don't wanna be hurt anymore
Anymore
Ain't no use in you crying now
After you have put me down
And if you don't want me no more, baby
There ain't no use in me hanging around
I know you don't love me no more, no more
No, no more
And I don't wanna be hurt anymore
Anymore
Ain't no use in you crying now
After you have put me down
And if you don't want me no more, baby
There ain't no use in me hanging around
I know, I know
I know, I know, baby
I know, I know, baby
You can't fool me
I know it's time, I got to figure it out, honey
[Incomprehensible]
Every day when you come home I meet you at the door
And every night your kisses leave me wanting so much more
I reach for you and hold you like nobody else can do
You know I'm yours I hope you love me too
Cause I know you need me I know you want me
And I hope you love me and always told me so
I look up into your eyes and suddenly get weak
And I can always read your mind before you even speak
I touch you and without a doubt you'll know my love is real
I wish I'd knew exactly how you feel
Cause I know you need me...
I know you need me...
Wo, man, deh you are!
When the race gets hard to run,
It means you just can't take the pace.
When it's time to have your fun,
You find the tears run on down through your face,
Then you stop and think a little:
Are you the victim of the system?
Anyday now they gon' let you down;
Remember, Natty will be there
To see you through.
(I) And ain't it good to know (know) now:
Jah will be waiting there.
(I) Ain't it doggone good to know (know) , you all;
Jah will be waiting there.
Wait in Summer, wait in Spring,
Wait in Autumn, Winter thing,
(Tribe) goes up, all the tribe goes down:
Bring my children from the end of d'earth
Many a time I sit and wonder why
This race so - so very hard to run,
Then I say to my soul: take courage,
Battle to be won,
Like a ship that's tossed and driven,
Battered by the angry sea, yea-eah!
Say the tide of time was raging;
Don't let the fury fall on me, no, no!
(I) 'Cause I know (know) -know:
Jah will be waiting there;
(I) Ain't it good to know (know) now:
Jah will be waiting there. Wo-oo-o-oo-o! Ooh, yeah!
Lost and found, who speak I give;
Lost and found, who speak I give;
Speak I give, lost and found.
Lost and found, who speak I give;
I know what it means
to be lost in the dark.
I know what it means
to be tossed in the storm.
I have walked alone
with a heart of stone
and despair too heavy for tears,
but you caught my heart
and you taught my heart
to forget the doubts and fears.
And now that I know
the joy of your love,
my head is high, I can face the sky
and know that the heaven is here below,
I know.
For you I could die,
for you I will live,
I know.
[Speaking:]

These youngin sling that iron it ain't no mo takin pride
So put yo fist up in yo pockets and them bullets in the chamber
Cause niggas slingin iron like the lone ranger
Mayne it's murder murder kill kill on the corner where the marijuana followed by the bill
Some niggas cut by delja, some niggas cut by chill, some niggas eat them delpids and some niggas eat them pills
Gotta get it how I live in the southside

Pray for these niggas keep me away from these niggas
And I
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]

Plus he kept a thug alert
For these bitch ass niggas, these haters these rapists
These niggas in the swamp swear to god they alligators

The street ain't promised to us niggas in that dirty south
Thas why I'm ridin with that nine I'm tryin make it out
And it's hard to live, I'm a community where ain't no fuckin unity
They always say I'm dead they try to ruin me
So boosie be on other shit

[Verse 3:]
But we stay reppin

God kno I need to send my niggas some pictures this
And som change to keep nigga fresj kicks on his feet
And god kno he raised me
When donkey went jonsin
Bronson kept me wide open
And that's a fact
But I kno they gon hate tho
Cause I got blocks and raps and blocks of work so u can call me lego
It's consequences, jumpin fences
Cause the narcs tryin lynch us and they missin us by inches
The judge the one who sentence make a nigga out a menace
Commisary low so we take a nigga tennis
A black eye is just like a scratch where I was raised
Niggas handle they business if they ever felt played
The beasts is crooked, the preacher crooked
Saw my teacher at the strip club, damn, the teachers crooked
[Chorus]
[talking:]
Now if don't nobody now
God kno
Nigga u a hood rat
God kno
A nigga try to bring you down
He right on side u
God kno
Nigga tryin steal yo girl u had fears
Where do I begin with what to say
I've played this conversation in my head so many times
I'm certainly not claiming to know everything
But what I do will save your life.
[chorus]
I know, I know that God is able
I know, I know that He still reigns
I know, I know that love has found a way.
No matter what it is you're going through
Even if you think you're far beyond where hope can see
I know there is a Hand that's reaching out for you
Because He did the same for me
[chorus]
It wasn't that long ago when my own world fell apart (it fell apart).
And everything here inside of me said to let go (you must let go).
I found my self crying out to the One who knows my heart (He
knows your heart).
And holding tight to the few things that i know (few things that I
know).
I know, I know, I know that love has found a way.
[chorus]
[B.G.]
Okay
First thing first - and for me that's n's
I floss, so I know you gon' let me pimp Benz
If I want it, no matter the cost, I'll get it
It's mine, so I know you gon' let me spend it
My clique made it known: we 'bout havin' things
Sport diamonds, so I know you gon' let us bling
B.G.: shut it down when I come through
They say I'm wrong, but I know you gon' let me do what I do
If I got it, I ain't gon' hide it - I show mine
I know you gon' respect it, I know you gon' let me shine
I know you ain't gon' step, I know you know I tote iron
Quick to bust, and I know you don' wan' die
You see eight Bentleys comin' on a late Sunday
I know you know that's Cash Money Millionaires comin'
We be layin' it down - don't give a fuck, nigga
We're from uptown, so I know you gon' let us stunt, nigga
[Lil' Wayne]
Hey (Hey) Hey (Hey) Hey (Hey)
Listen, listen:
[Hook (Lil' Wayne)]
I know you see the jewelry - it's berserk and on shine
I know you see the bulge under the shirt - don't try
I know you people wishin' that one day we gon' stop
I know you recognize we got the game on lock
I know you see the Bentleys, the broads, the Dubs
I know you see the thugs - you don't wanna see no blood
I know you people wishin' that one day we gon' stop
I know you recognize we got the game on lock
[B.G.]
I know you bet' not open your mouth when I ride by
I know you know this Lex GS on shine
I spin through fast, wrist hangin' out the dropped Jag
Blindin' ya - I know you gon' let me act bad
I know you gon' let me go off, let me show my ass
I know you gon' let me show off, make haters mad
Got game to make your wife cheat, give me head
Fuck your husband for Geezy - I know you gon' break bread
I know you clowns don't like it, gotta accept it
You don't, get wetted - I know you gotta respect it
You don't want Geezy bringin' drama to your set'n'
I know you don't want sis, Mom, and daughter in black dresses
Please don't test me - you do, it get hectic
I shoot for the head - don't depend on vests
Now on the up and up I'm every bad bitch choice
Don't be mad, I know you gon' let me be a hot boy
[Lil' Wayne]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
[Hook (Lil' Wayne)]
[B.G.]
Hoes say I'm nasty - I know you gon' let me slang wood
Say I changed - I'm rich, I know you gon' let me be good
I'm the same ol' nigga I was when I was broke
Still beef, so I know you gon' let me tote my four-four
Now, you know what happened: tried to play me like a hoe
We both can't live on this earth - one of us gotta go
On the real, when it come to shinin', I'm nothin' nice
You'll be blinded, and I know you don't like when I wear ice
I know you gon' let me burn, I'm "h" "o" "t"
I know you gon' let me be me - that's B.G.
I know you gon' respect my clique: CMB
I know you don't want beef with Juv, Turk, and Wheezy
I know you don't wan' put your car next to Fresh or B
I know you ain't got the price like them: ten a-piece
I know you bet' stay in your place - don't fuck with us
I know you ain't on our level 'cause we platinum plus

Lock, shop, bam, lock-?down
What you want to be is what I am
How you want to feel is how I feel
But nothing stays the same when I am here
Just waiting for it all to disappear
I know, I know, I know it'll come between us
I know, I know
Like to get into that pretty head
Just to see, to see if you are dead
And it would amuse me just to see how
How you feel about me and this crowd
I know, I know, I know it'll come between us
I know, I know
I know, I know, I know it'll come between us
I know, I know
What you want to be is what I am
How you want to feel is how I feel
But nothing stays the same when I am here
Just waiting for it all to disappear
I know, I know, I know it'll come between us
I know, I know
I know, I know, I know it'll come between us
I know, I know
I know, I know, I know it'll come between us
I know, I know
I know, I know, I know it'll come between us
I know she said it's alright
But you can make it up next time
I know she knows it's not right
There ain't no use in lying
Maybe she thinks I know something
Maybe maybe she thinks its fine
Maybe she knows something I don't
I'm so, I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down
I know she loves the sunrise
No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
And I know that when she said she's gonna try
Well it might not work because of other ties and
I know she usually has some other ties
And I wouldn't want to break 'em, nah, I wouldn't want to break 'em
Maybe she'll help me to untie this but
Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie too
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
The harder that you try baby, the further you'll fall
Even with all the money in the whole wide world
Please please please don't pass me
Please please please don't pass me
Please please please don't pass me by
Everything you know about me now baby you gonna have to change
You gonna have to call it by a brand new name
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me down
Just like a tree down by the water baby I shall not move
Even after all the silly things you do
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me down
I caught your eye looking my way
But you seem so shy
Don't be scared, I won't hurt you
And darlin' that's no lie
Believe I can do things to you, you never dreamed
I won't give up till you posses, in life the finer things
I know, know what you do want
Honey stop the fakin'
Come on and get with me baby, drive me crazy
Feel me, hold me, love me, squeeze me
With you it seems to be
Me you want, but you've been hurt
I lived those days so you know, I want just one and only one
Playin the field seems foul to me, If you have love to give
In life there is no time to waste, and that's not the way to live
Be my lady
I'll never treat you wrong
Drive my Mercedez
All that I have, you can own
You're so precious
You're my queen
You're my baby
I know two eyes that just adore you
I know two arms that long to hold you
And I know two lips that wanna kiss you
And I know one sincere loving heart that's beating just for you
I wish your heart could know how my heart aches for you
I try and try to tell you what I feel for you
But every time my courage fells and can't speak of love
But I know I'm crazy for your heart and this I'm certain of
I know two eyes, I know two eyes
I know that you've been good to me
And I know it's just a rumor spreading in this town
And I know know know it's a thing I don't believe
Cuz you know I'd never let you down baby
This is love that you see on my face
And it's impossible to erase
Still it scares me when I hear what I hear
You see, everybody's talking and they whisper in my ear
- But I know that you would never hurt me
I know you got a real good heart
Too bad they're talking for nothing
Trying for nothing
Cuz nothing's gonna stop our love
(Honey don't you see?)
I know about their jealousy
And I know about the talk that's growing in this town
And I know know know that they don't want to believe
That I'm not just a run-around baby
They say we will break up, just you wait
They gamble on the time and the date it will end
Not much longer, they swear
You see everybody's talking, I hear rumors everywhere
I don't believe what they think of you and me
When they say that we're in trouble
Cuz they don't know what they're talking about
It's just too bad we've got what they've never had
So they just stay busy talking
"She don't love him, he don't love her!"
I know that you would never hurt me
I know you got a real big heart
Too bad they're talking for nothing
Trying for nothing
I know, you love the song but not the singer
I know, you've got me wrapped around your finger
I know, you want the sin without the sinner
I know
I know
I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster
I know, the last in line is always called a bastard
I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster
I know
I know
I know, you cut me loose in contradiction
I know, I'm all wrapped up in sweet attrition
I know, it's asking for your benediction
I know
I know
I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster
I know, the last in line is always called a bastard
I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster
I know
I know
I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster
I know, the last in line is always called a bastard

Ok um, what it do, what it is, what it be though?
Hit the city with a bad lil' freak ho
Hop up outta the beamer that's on low pros
Two Fours, suicide on the back yo
Ridin 'round, eagle on my lap yo
Pop off, shots to ya elbow
More shells, comin through your window
All black, semis slide in the renzo
Get money, about cash, I'm a nympho
10-4, need my slice, like Kimbo
Drop top, that's only when the wind blow
See a nigga low pro, double M logo
Hold up, and I'm with a bad bitch
She thick, nothin like ya average
My pussy, make her call a nigga daddy
The bitch so sassy, she damn near had me
But I ain't trippin, cause the swag on pluto
Fly nigga he wouldn't know what to do though
Call me, Papi Chulo
Polo when I'm ridin in the culo
God damn, I'm way too gutta
Keep a toast, and I'm bout my butta
Shoot a nigga, that's on my motha
Don't believe, just ask my brotha
[Hook: x2]

Bitch ain't fuckin, that's a mother fuckin no no
Hate when they say they ain't no groupie
Trick you choose, and they already know so
Couple hours in the Cadillac fo-do
Gettin some head, suck it so slow
Hot damn, sippin on a little Rose-mo
Red bone, graduated out of Flo-Mo
Got a job and she wanna get paid mo
Add her to the pay roll, do as I say so
Six figure nigga 20 with the rape yo
Keep killas if you wonder what the K fo
Blat blat, couple shots till ya can't go
Yessir when it's about that dinero
Hit the block in the mother fuckin lambo
Double G sandals, tank top camo
Good lawd, man the nigga be swaggin
Just imagine the penthouse pattern
Pockets stay full of that cabbage
Neck and wrist stay full of them karats
Some shit you can't inherit
Me and money eloped, we married
[Hook: x2]
Ok I may know me some killas
Bitch I may know me some goons
I keep them people 'round 'case them niggas actin' fool
Betta know I keeps it real, and plus my mother fuckin tool
Bare feet on a hot summer night
It's just you, just me and we're talking
That look if we could talk all night
sweet enough to build a feeling on
crazy is the moon dancing off the water
I'm jumping up and down inside
Before I know I gotta get a little closer
Cause there's something I just can't hide
That fallin', that feelin'
Don't know how,
but you've got me reeled in
I love this, but all I know is
Chorus
I love you from deep down inside
It takes all I have to confide
And that's never been easy for me to say
Bonfire raisin up to the sky
Gotta flame going strong like a heart beat
That smile and the look in your eyes
says to me that you feel it too
And we're rollin' so goldin'
Girl, don't you know I'm stolen
And you've got me right here now
Chorus
I love you from deep down inside
It takes all I have to confide
And that's never been easy for me to say
I know, I know, so I'm going to give it my best
And let time take care of the rest
Right now in my soul
I know
I know without question
you're all that I want, all that I need
I love you from deep down inside
It takes all I have to confide
And that's never been easy for me to say
I know, I know,
so I'm going to give it my best
And let time take care of the rest
Right now in my soul
I know
I know
Oh, right now in my soul
I Know
I know somethings shady when Im feeling it
You play the game like cards when your dealing it
I see through the eyes of a marked man
But in the streets you gotta have a game plan
Im paranoid I se them coming after me
24/7 on me constantly
I see the red beam, I walk the tight rope
But I know Im the target in the scope
YEA!
I try to weed out the real from the fake ones
Two faced ones wont you keep it real son
I can see it from a mile away
Cause Im holding it down with my feet on the gound
And they...
They're tryin to break me, they're tryin to rape me
They're tryin to bring me down
They're tryin to break me, they're tryin to rape me
They're tryin to bring me down
Chorus:
I know there's something going on
And it seems so cold
I know there's something going on
And it wont be long
I know there's somthing going on
How could you be so cold
I know theres something going wrong
Yea!
Evil lurks when you around
And then you know how it's goin down
I look deep and figure how to break free
In my pain escape from reality
I see you scoping on my life and now he tells me
You look suspicious and you plan is tryin to gank me
The mainsuspect but your the reject
You'll be the one with the gun, no respect for me
I roll deep like a bond, I got a blue print
Creep in your area lowright through the residence
Like a sniper, control the damager
Flippin the script cause Im two steps ahead of ya
They're tryin to break me, they're tryin to rape me
They're tryin to bring me down
I know there's something going on
And it seems so cold
I know there's something going on
And it wont be long
I know there's somthing going on
How could you be so cold
I know theres something going wrong
Yea!
I know theres something on
I know theres something on
Cant get this out of my head
I know there's something going on
And it seems so cold
I know there's something going on
And it wont be long
I know there's somthing going on
How could you be so cold
I know theres something going wrong
Yea!
You're in my mind half the time
Trying to find someone to hide behind
But still they poured right in on you
And everyday you try to walk away
From the stupid things they say, they say just to hurt you
But I'm singin', baby, I know you know
That when the music's pumpin' and the lights are low
You become someone else, yeah
Well, I gotta pay respect where respect is due
I ain't never seen a woman who can move like you
I said I gotta pay respect where respect is due
I ain't never seen a woman who can move like you, yeah
I'm singin', baby, I know you know
That when the music's pumpin' and the lights are low
You become someone else
I'm singin', baby, I know you know
That when the music's pumpin' and the lights are low
You become someone else
I feel it burnin' from my soul, it takes me higher. yeah
Baby, there's no reason to control, oh, I dance with my desire
You're in my mind half the time
Tryin' to find someone to hide behind
And still they poured right in on you
And everyday you try to walk away
From the stupid things they say, they say just to hurt you
I'm singin', baby, I know you know
That when the music's pumpin' and the lights are low
You become someone else
I'm singin', baby, I know you know
That when the music's pumpin' and the lights are low
Some people say, that this old time religion
is just a thing of the past,
But in this modern age that we're livin',
It's the only thing that will last.
Now you may think I'm a little old fashioned,
Well friend, that's alright with me,
'Cause I'm so glad that I am a Christian,
And from sin I have been set free.
I know, I know, there's no doubt about it
He's real in my heart, and I'm gonna shout it,
I know, I know, my sins are forgiven
And I'm on my way to a place thats called heaven.
Not long ago, at an old fashioned meeting,
I knelt on my knees there in prayer.
He lifted my burdens and shackles fell from me,
And his presence was so real everywhere.
Now that the load I carry is lighter,
and He's changed the grey skies to blue,
My steps are now higher for I have this assurance,
that His sweet love will carry me through.
Come go with me to that land over yonder,
He's prepared for the pure and the true,
It's a place where sickness and death can not enter,
I'm going, brother, how about you?
Maybe today, maybe tomorrow,
He'll return in robes of pure white,
I'm packing up now, getting my things together,
Now you've been gone in these streets for like, three weeks now
I'm startin to worry myself, so come on back now
Don't want you dealing with a life like me
Don't want you strung out, don't wantto be like me
Only fourteen and you've been with one child now
Pregnant with no shoes is where you'll end up now
You're fourteen, you've got your whole life ahead of you
What's that twenty year old man got to do with you
I wish-I made a better life for you
I wish-there was someone you could look up to
I wish-you did what I say not what I do
I wish-you'd see the future but I know you
Chorus
I know-that you want to be in these streets
I know-you think you gotta hustle to eat
I know-money doesn't matter to me
I just want you home
I know-that you've got to do what you do
I know-what's that life really doin fo you
I know-that's no way to live your life
I need you to survive
Little shorty and you want to be a baller now
Want to ride on twenty-fours like a big timer now
The respect of your crew that's around you
On your way to getting kicked out your high school
Thinking drugs will get you where you need to be
You might get there but only temporarily
Before you get there you might be under about 6 feet
Or behind bars at least five fifty deep
I wish-your daddy was here to help raise you
I wish-you could see that that life ain't gon' save you
I wish-you could meet God and He could change you
I wish-get in your head and rearrange you
I wish-there was someone you could look up to
I wish-you could see there's another way to get through
I wish-use your mind and that can't stop you
I wish-see the future but I know you
Chorus
God has got to hear me
(hear me when I pray)
It's heavy on my shoulders
(make it go away)
Carrying my babies
Praying for my brothers
Carrying for my sisters, my fathers, my mothers
Hoping that one day soon you'll see
All you're meant to be
Come to know the things that are true
And live the life that's meant for you
*I know, I know, I know* (sample repeats)
[Verse 1]
Feel free to hate me and to doubt me, but until you stood behind my plate
And peep the way I truly swing, you could never out me
See, opinions are like rap careers: Everybody's got one
And most of 'em out to zip, even less if it's a hot one
Like the radio songs that make us sing along
'Cause the beat is real heavy and the hook is real catchy
Make you nod your head steady, and you don't feel sketchy
'Til you're all by yourself, and you ridin' around
And realize to yourself how stupid it sounds
Mainstream or Underground, away team, home town
It boils down to the facts: Wack is wack
Camby can't hold Shaq, and a party ain't a party if
you don't bring a sack
Or your own 12-Pack or this 12 on the wax
I detail every track to make a sentence sparkle
Giving thoughts to the thoughtful, but I don't know
How I know how to pull these diamonds outta charcoal
I just know
[Chorus]
*I know, I know, I know*
Think you do when you don't 'cause uh.
*I know, I know, I know*
Think I don't when I do but uh.
*I know, I know, I know*
Think you do when you don't 'cause uh.
[Verse 2]
It's knowledge of self, knowing what you can and you can't do
And knowing to play the hand that God chose to hand you
I plan to double down when my turn comes around
I suggest you do the same, you can't take these chips with you
So it's best to play the game while there's breath up in your frame
Judge to death be the name, so I modern-day confuse
For you Latter Day souls, promote the type of fun
That makes your Saturdays whole, grey matter turn gold
With the stroke of a pen, help your spirit verge free
Before it chokes from within, me I'm cloaked in my sin
So I decorate my shrow, so the tat on my arm
Is the badge of a proud, B-Boy gone wild
In the rap sense of child born in '78
So I know no other culture just to set the record straight
I'm a vandal B-Boyin', turntable destroyin'
Right now it's the skills with the mic I'm employin'
'cause I
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I know tomorrow's not promised so handle business while you can
I know a friend's not a friend just because he lends a hand
I know a man's not a man, if he has to beat his woman
I know she'll push you to the point where you feel she had it comin'
I know you both love each other so a brawl would be senseless
I know this 'cause I lived it, and I mean every sentence
I know that 25 to Life is a very long time
I know that that's the reason that I have to go for mine
I know that waitin' on no man is the scheduled flight of time
I know that time is unfair when I listen to Sublime
I know that my time is comin' so I gotta keep runnin'
I know that our time is now so let's have a little fun and
I know you gotta feel me, or my fate is soon to seal me
I know that cigarettes and alcohol are out to kill me
I know I gotta quit, but not right know
I know I gotta quit, but I just don't know how; I just
I know
On and on and on
With the feeling so strong
Holding back how I feel
I hope that one day
Maybe you'll say
I will be yours forever
I know that they say
It doesn't happen this way
Maybe its true
Has it happen to you
Hoping that you'll find the chance to
Open up your mind you need to
Let your feelings grow, oh baby
Chorus
I know that, wherever you are oh baby
I know that, it won't be too far I hope that
You can feel it, open your heart, oh baby
I know, I know, I knew from the start
Don't wait too long
You won't get me wrong
I need your love now
Holding you close
It was more than you know
Easy to see
Everything we could be
Hoping that you'll find the chance to
Open up your mind, you need to
Let your feelings grow, oh baby
I know that, wherever you are oh baby
I know that, it won't be too far I hope that
You can feel it, open your heart, oh baby
I know, I know, I knew from the start
You know, I'm the one who wants you
Making plans to spend our lives together
You know, always thinking about you
I don't know if I can live without you
Chorus
I know that, wherever you are oh baby
I know that, it won't be too far I hope that
You can feel it, open your heart, oh baby
I know, I know, I knew from the start
Wafer thin, the waif is in
She's chlorine, clean and portion fed
Feed the dog, slop the hog
Shine the baptist and debark the log
It's all right
I know
You're the only one
Who can show us at all
Get it done, circulate
What I hear, fear motivates
So intense, so sensitive
In your head where fashion lives
It's all right
I know
You're the only one
Who can show us at all
It's OK
I know
You're mean and hard and bored
It's always, always, always
Some say that change won't come
We'll never live as one
They say it can't be done
But I know better
They say there'll be more rain
They say there'll be more pain
But sun's gonna shine again
And I know for sho'
If you really, really wanna you could touch the sky
Don't let them tell you, you can't fly that high
Anything you want you just go out and try
'Cause I know, I know, I know
They say the end is near
And they say it's almost here
But I say to have no fear
I know, it's not so
Some say that love's just a myth
It's a wonderful dream but it doesn't exist
But to look at you you're such a precious gift
That I know, I know
If you really, really wanna you could touch the sky
Don't let them tell you you can't fly that high
Anything you want you just go out and try
I know, I know
And if you really, really want it, it could be that way
Don't get caught up in what them people say
All your little dreams turn into bigger things
I know, I know, I know, I just know that I know, oh
The seeds you sowed determine what you grow
The road you take determines where you're gonna go
And when you feel it deep inside your soul
You'll know, you'll know
That if you really, really wanna you could touch the sky
Don't let them tell you you can't fly that high
Anything you want you just go out and try
I know, I know
That if you really, really want it, it could be that way
Don't get caught up in what them people say
All your little dreams turn into bigger things
I know, I know, I know, I know
For sure
I know
What I know
I know, I know
Loud mouth, suits and ties
Liars, with money and girls
The kind you fit in your pocket
I can't save them from this darkness
My sisters, I love them all
My faeries pinned against the wall
I know what you want
And I know what you want
And I know
Doll, made of paint and china
Your worth lies only in these
But you're real to me
Little bones, will you break these legs like twigs now?
There's pain here you'll never have to feel
Never have to feel
I know what you want
And I know what you want
And I know
And I would fight a thousand men
I'd fight fire and wind and rain
I'd cry a river of tears for them
The bodies floating there
Christ-like and bare
Tell me, is that fair?
There are some things I can't forgive
Some things I just can't forgive
Some things
Jesus, I thought we had an understanding
The fact that you can buy a woman
Makes me want to die
Where were you last night?
Jesus, Jesus
Where were you?
And I know what you want
I know it all too well
And I know
Chorus
I know (I know)
These niggas don't want to see me ball.
These niggas wanna see me fall.
Motherfucker I know (I know)
These niggas are trying to give me hell.
These niggas want me to fail.
Motherfucker I know (I know)
These niggas dont want to see me write.
Wanna see me live my life.

But it's too late nigga. Hahah, you can't stop me now nigga.
I'm going straight to the top on you motherfuckers. Feel me.
Downtown hustling weed and cd's
They knew that i could rap
They wasnt fucking with me (I know)
Deep in they heart,
they knew they couldn't hold me
God had a plan for little Z-O-E
Shawty wish she woulda gave me her number
I was broke back then,
now a nigga doing numbers.
Same clothes everyday sleeping on the carpet.
Now im sean johned down on the red carpet.
Hahaha They knew that I was down bad
They say fuck em dont even front that boy a 50 sack
When I was fucked you didnt feel bad
The block cut me a check I heard you looking bad.
Chorus
You motherfuckers are like crabs in a bucket man.
All ya'll niggas do is just sit back and do nothing.
Talk about it forever, do something nigga buy a crib or something nigga.
I wake up early
and stay up late
I cant stop, I wont stop
Shorty its too late
When I was young we shot ball into milk crates
Now we full court press on my own estate.
We used to steal from when dissing when nothing to eat.
Now you can catch me and my hand in these smell meats.
I'm still in the hood, white tee, white ones,
and the chevy strapped up like its fat like big buns.
My phone going ham, niggas leaving stupid messages.
But I aint mad cuz the lord keep blessing this.
He kept my mind right, took me through the storm
His soul clear patches nobody lay harm.
Chorus
Quit your jibbity jabbing man and quit the fucking bullshit.
Nigga im trying to do something, I'm doing songs and shit nigga do something.
Grab a nigga hand, nigga help a nigga. Stop talking that shit.
Sit around waiting on somebody to get you something.
Nigga I'm trying to do something help me write a song or something nigga.
Im trying to make it on Oprah show too. Im trying to do it big im trying to be the nations best.
I'm trying to get money like Bloc. Ya'll niggas stop hating on me man.
You motherfuckers didnt want to help me in the beginning man.

Black entertainment motherfucker.
I know (I know)
You've got such a pretty smile
It's a shame the things you hide behind it
Let 'em go
Give it up for a while
Let 'em free and we will both go find it
I know there's nowhere you can hide it
I know the feeling of alone
I know that you do not feel invited
But, come back, come back in from the cold
Tell me how you really feel
Tell me what is on the inside of you
All the somethings you conceal
Only keep away the ones who love you
Step away then from the edge
Your best friend is life is not your mirror
Back away, come away
Back away, come away
Back away, come away
Back away, come away
Back away, come away
Back away, come away
I am here and I will be forever
I know there's nowhere you can hide it
I know the feeling of alone
Trust me and don't keep that on the inside
Soon you'll be locked out on your own
You're not alone
You're not alone
And don't say you've never been told
I'll be with you 'til we grow old
'til I'm in the ground and I'm cold
I'm not sitting up here on some throne
Like a dog you can always come home
Dig up a bone
Hey baby now
Lately you ain't been actin right
We need to work thi sout tonight
Hey lover now
Don't u try to front
Cause u can't fool me
Say you mad
It's obvious
Baby tell me is it bad?

Cause running to friends ain't gon help
I know u get hurt sometimes
Even tho u may not let me know
You know I can read ya mind

You've got me pinned to the wall
I have a million questions
I'm out of ideas, it's your call
I'm open for suggestions
I know
I saw both of your faces
I know
I have friends in many places
I have known for a while
Since you changed your perfume
I've witnessed a change in style
There is a smile where there was gloom
I have known you far too long
Sometimes I wonder
If you're trying to get caught
I SHOULD BE GETTING SOME SLEEP I TRY AND TRY BUT I CAN'T KEEP FROM PICKING APAT EVERYTHING THAT WE SAID YEAH, I SHOULDN'T BE RUNNING THIS MAZE TRYING SO HARD TO FIND A WAY TO RAISE THE DEAD
CHORUS: I SHOULD FIX THE LOCK, FEED THE CAT, TAKE THE CLOTHES TO THE LAUNDROMAT, PAY SOME BILLS AND GET A CLUE, GET UP, FORGET ABOUT YOU, I KNOW, I KNOW
I SHOULDN'T BE SPINNING MY WHEELS JUST TO SEE HOW BAD IT FEELS JUST TO SEE HOW FAR I WON'T GO I SHOULD BE BREAKING THESE CHAINS NOT DRAGGING THEM 'ROUND JUST TO FEEL THE PAIN NEVER SHOULD'VE TAKEN THIS ROAD
(CHORUS): YEAH, I KNOW BUT I CAN'T LET GO
Whatever occurs I know
You carried the cross for my soul
You bled for my sin
Beginning life for all hope for all joy
For all unspeakable
Whatever the day we know
You conquered the grave
Saved the world
Now that we're free believing
What we know who we know
Is the truth so here we go
I know I know I know I know
You turned the world around
Now I have found the way
That can't be shaken
I know I know I know I know
You turned it upside down
Now I have found the life
That can't be shaken
And I stand on what I know
It's true so I believe it
Say mel and t mayne
I'm a make a nigga feel on this
Top and bottom never walk in my neighborhood
(south baton rouge)
The candy lady out of business cause they take her goods
Play with me it's guaranteed, oooooohhh, I'm a lay ya down

Now god know my situation, he know what I be facin
He know I'm so impatient when it come to money makin
From school, to the blocks, from the tool, to the rocks
For the lil nigga with that glock ridin aroun d in somethin hot
Now it's bout time we hit our knees and tell god truth
Can't stop the way we livin just help us make it through
When I die take me through, up to heaven up with you

So if nigga play with me of the op I gotta get him right
And god got my back so, when I act wow

The murder rate is sky high, nigga holla ride or die
These youngin sling that iron it ain't no mo takin pride
So put yo fist up in yo pockets and them bullets in the chamber
Cause niggas slingin iron like the lone ranger
Mayne it's murder murder kill kill on the corner where the marijuana followed by the bill
Some niggas cut by delja, some niggas cut by chill, some niggas eat them delpids and some
niggas eat them pills
Gotta get it how I live in the southside
I'm thuggin with my cow hide
I'm fresh when I come outside
You talk shit got hog tied
God know I know these niggas
Don't make me show these niggas
Pray for these niggas keep me away from these niggas
And I
God kno all the killas
He done walked with all them niggas
He done talked with all them niggas
Before they went sparked them trigger
He ain't tear ya up in church, but god pretty eyes done covered up some dirt
Plus he kept a thug alert
For these bitch ass niggas, these haters these rapists
These niggas in the swamp swear to god they alligators
Me an my niggas paper chasers (shit) we ain't stuntin

And god kno my past

I'll end up grippin a steal
And god kno my temper
My temper like a bubble
You bust it you in trouble
Only god kno, it's hard yo, I'll lay up in ya yard wow
I'll camouflage myself with my camouflage cargo
The street ain't promised to us niggas in that dirty south
Thas why I'm ridin with that nine I'm tryin make it out
And it's hard to live, I'm a community where ain't no f**kin unity
They always say I'm dead they try to ruin me
So boosie be on other shit
Like jew-el-r-is and poppin chris
And mac on u a model bitch
Had a hoe that swallow dick
Since 12 I saw alot of shit god kno I kno
Witness a man get straight sprayed right in front of the store
So I get a blunt and I roll it, hit the block actin a donkey
Killin my own people, servin my own uncles
And I
Our father who art in heaven
Hollow be thy name
Thou kingdom come
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
But we stay reppin
But we stay they got beasts up in my section
I was raised bysome thugs, got rich off the d
80 grams took my nigga, I'm missin ya petey
God kno I need to send my niggas some pictures this
And som change to keep nigga fresj kicks on his feet
And god kno he raised me
When donkey went jonsin
Bronson kept me wide open
And that's a fact
But I kno they gon hate tho
Cause I got blocks and raps and blocks of work so u can call me lego
It's consequences, jumpin fences
Cause the narcs tryin lynch us and they missin us by inches
The judge the one who sentence make a nigga out a menace
Commisary low so we take a nigga tennis
A black eye is just like a scratch where I was raised
Niggas handle they business if they ever felt played
The beasts is crooked, the preacher crooked
Saw my teacher at the strip club, damn, the teachers crooked
Now if don't nobody now
God kno
Nigga u a hood rat
God kno
A nigga try to bring you down
He right on side u
God kno
Nigga tryin steal yo girl u had fears
I know you're finding it hard to get your own back
But you were sullen at the weekend
And I was sad until
You were waiting for the half-time getaway
Someone couldn't wait to get their own back
We were dealing at the last-chance table
How does it feels to get your own back?
I know you're finding it hard to keep your head up
But we were trouble after midnight
After a drink or two
I know you're making sense
I guess its for the best
Get it off your chest don't call it all off
We did all we could but things just got away
Nothing left to say but call it all off
Maybe things will change but we will stay the same
Just stay with the pain and hang on in there
Ok, it wasn't perfect but how it shone
Hey little lady why you walkin' with your head hung low
There's gotta be an answer to whatever you don't know
Got little man in the stroller lookin' up at you
Don't understand but he knows his mama's sad why you
Runnin' away when your problems gonna find you
Dry your eye's and take the time to pray
'Cause I know what you're going through
Don't let it get the best of you
Everybody goes through things
Don't worry it will be okay
I know what you're going through
Don't let it get the best of you
Everybody goes through change
And made it through yesterday
Whatever happened to living in a world of peace and equality
One in the same yet we killin' one another for grief and jealousy
We got 300 million men and women out there who love someone
Epidemic's got our nations dying young
You better be ready when he comes
'Cause I know what you're going through
Don't let it get the best of you
Everybody goes through things
Don't worry it will be okay
I know what you're going through
Don't let it get the best of you
Everybody goes through change
And made it through yesterday
And don't you let it break you down
Don't you let it steal your joy
I know it's gonna be alright, yeah
Don't you let it keep on fighting, oh
As long as you keep him first don't worry
The pain that you're going through
Is just for a little while
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Don't let the situation steal your joy
Keep your head up, keep your faith, say yeah
'Cause I know what you're going through
Don't let it get the best of you
Everybody goes through change
Don't worry it will be okay
I know what you're going through
Don't let it get the best of you
Everybody goes through change
I know - you know
I can run you down - I can never tire
I know - you know
Nobody wants to get burned by a liar
I know - I know
I'm a number one victim - I'm a number one son
I know - I know
I'm draggin' you down - I'm draggin' you under
(Hey man) Gotta get-a-way from this place, yeah (x3)
Gotta get away!
I know (x8)
I know I gotta get a-way from here, yeah (x3)
Gotta get away!
I know - you know
I'm a shark I never sleep- I'm totally wired
I know - you know
Like a tiger in a cage - don't wanna be admired
I know - I know
You're my number one vctim - you're under my stub
I know - I know
You're draggin' me down - we're both going under
(Hey man) Gotta get-a-way from this place, yeah (x3)
Gotta get away!
So be it, I'm your crowbar
If thats what I am so far
Until you get out of this mess
And I will pretend
That I dont know of your sins
Until you are ready to confess
But all the time, all the time
I'll know, I'll know
And you can use my skin
To bury your secrets in
And I will settle you down
And at my own suggestion,
I will ask no questions
While I do my thing in the background
But all the time, all the time
i'll know, I'll know
Baby-I can't help you out, while she's still around
So for the time being, I'm being patient
And amidst this bitterness
If you'll consider this-even if it dont make sense
All the time-give it time
And when the crowd becomes your burden
And you've early closed your curtains,
I'll wait by the backstage door
While you try to find the lines to speak your mind
And pry it open, hoping for an encore
And if it gets too late, for me to wait
For you to find you love me, and tell me so
(1st verse)
Aye yo, who's the most explosive one yet?
The a roundest one left
Who flows express to them rhythm drum set ain't done yet?
Flow like a trumpet to your eardrum are deaf
Who pose a threat?
Yo- who's more ferocious- none yet
To the night damn set mic trends and life ends
In sight, I see the whole world through a tight lens
Rhymes I write wins and kept a white Benz
Spend G's like hundreds and hundreds like tens
I get paid, Black, but laid back with mild manners
When I flip it's the opposite of dark Bruce Banner
Out the lab with soul and melodies in your ear
And just when it all seem clear I disappear
All you gotta do is holler
Reappear like vol-la the street scholar
I'm 40 deep like Ali Baba
Give the mamas something to talk about in the beauty parlor
Keep it hot like lava, yeah
It's Rakim Allah
(Chorus)
I know you find it hard to believe that
I am the genie of the mic an
I can do anything you wish but
Right now I'm commanding you to dance
(2nd verse)
Ready to dance y'all, my magic carpet's the dance floor
Last chance y'all even if you can't ball
What part don't you understand? Your wish is my command
And I'm a rock a jam by popular demand
You gone love this, it's marvelous, baby
It gotta thug's twist-it start to get crazy
It's off the meat rack- can't keep my peeps back
Speak raps and I freak tracks for these cats
I got a fetish for puttin' together words and letters
It ain't all about the cheddars and y'all know where my head is
Ghetto scriptures for my little brothers and sisters
And still get vicious for the thugs and the Misses
What I don't do is talk about the same old thing
When I come through, I drop it, and they gone swing
I bring the ladies joy until they make crazy noise
Cuz the beat's bangin'- I'm born to blaze, baby boy
(Chorus)
I know I you find it hard to believe that
I am the genie of the mic an
I can do anything you wish but
Right now I'm commanding you to dance
(3rd verse)
The editor-forever more the predator, I said it all
I spread a war, like never before
Spit lead at yours like a ghetto braud raw at a ?
She'll never pause
With raw metaphors, I set it off
But I just begun the best is yet to come
Blessed with a majestic tongue since I was young
But I was stressed for funds and obsessed with guns
Test the one, let Allah protect your son
Cause something musical magician, the ageiathic author
The microphone magician when I have a magic marker, a mentor
You can explore, every sentence is a tour
The inventor is more than adventure
You'll be blown away, and a zone ?
It's so ill, I still grab the microphone and say
One of my own displays like I'm known to blaze
And I bet rhyme pays until I'm old and gray
(Chorus)(4x)
I know you find it hard to believe that
I am the genie of the mic and
I can do anything wish but
Right now I'm commanding you to dance
I'm not skilled to understand
What God hath willed, what God hath planned, what God hath planned
I only know at His right hand
Stands the One who is my Savior
I take Him at His word indeed
Christ died to save me this I read, oh this I read
And in my heart I find the need
Of Him to be My Savior
(Chorus)
I know, I know
Living, dying, let me bring
My strength, my solice from this spring
I know, I know
That He who lives to be my King
Once died to be my Savior, I know
All that He fulfilled may see
The travail of His soul in me, His soul in me
And with His work contented be
As I am with my Savior
I take Him at His word indeed
Christ died to save me this I read, oh this I read
And in my heart I find the need
Of Him to be my Savior
Wonder what can be so bad
That it makes you want to die
I wonder what could be so tragic
Makes you want to take your life
You have your Savior on the cross
While you sit on the throne
Put yourself up on that cross
Put your Savior on the throne
And I know it's hard to take what's happening
And I know life is tough sometimes
And I know it seems like there's no hope for you
And I know your life is worth more than you can see
It's hard to see beyond your pain
When you feel so dead inside
It's hard to see what you've been given
It's hard to find the hope in life
And I know it's hard to take what's happening
And I know life is tough sometimes
And I know it seems like there's no hope for you
And I know your life is worth more than you can see
And I say look at Jesus' hands
Those scars are there for you
You know He understands
I know, I can't find you
I'll go to sit beside you
I need to remind you
That I still, I still love you
I know, I can't find you
I'll show everyone around you
That I need to be with you
I still, I still love you
But I know, I can't find you
I know, I can't find you
I know, I can't find you
You get me going like a wind up toy
So pay attention to a broken boy
You got me going
Well I cannot stop it and if you keep me going
Gonna see me pop
I'm in love with what you do
The way that I'm attached with you
Self fulfilled and to a smile
The list could go for miles
(All the perfect things you do)
I know what you're thinking when you cry
(When you cry)
I know what you're thinking when you smile
(When you smile)
I know that you're just a little child
I know you know
(All the perfect things you do)
You've got me going like a grade school crush
My head is spinning and my face is flushed
You've got me going like a fast paced heart
And if you keep me going, gonna fall apart
I could write a thousand words
Useless nouns and needless verbs
I could shout a million times
Until the neighbors hear my cries
(All the perfect things you do)
I know what you're thinking when you cry
(When you cry)
I know what you're thinking when you smile
(When you smile)
I know that you're just a little child
I know you know
(All the perfect things you do)
You make me melt
I know what you're thinking when you cry
(When you cry)
I know what you're thinking when you smile
(When you smile)
I know that you're just a little child
I know you know
All the perfect things you do

I wanna know how is feels to have a girl
WhoÂ’ll love me and treat me just right
Well I know how it feels to be cheated on
I know how it feels to be blue
Come show me how it feels to really be loved
And IÂ’ll spend my time loveÂ’n you
Well I know thereÂ’s pot-o-gold and the end of the rainbow
That was such a long time ago
Come show me how it feels to really be loved
And I wonÂ’t be blue anymore
Hold on baby Hold on
Love me tighter babe
I wanna know I wanna know
I wanna know how it feels
Mama said to stay away from guys like you
She said they were nasty
Make me do things I dont wanna do
Stay away from bad boys they got one thing on their mind
Their hormones are raging and they want it all the time

Plus I'm fly as fuck
Man I musta came out of the womb with 10 rockets
Gone B-b-blast off

Now my hotels filled with 20 bitches with they pants off
And we blow that cash crop

Nobody ever wanna see me shine
But you can't block the sun
Since I'm a star
That mean we're the same
Which means Imma shine no matter what
So call me Kid

But when I come around
Better tuck your sack
It's EST all around the world
So the whole planet got my back
Fuck your cars

And I know and I know and I know and I know and I know
And I know and I know and I know and I know and I know
I know i'll never see you
I know i'll never run into your body walking through the crooked streets
I know i'll never hear you
I know i'll never hear you like a sound that wafts inside from outside there
I know that if i waited i know that if i wait a thousand days will lie wasted with thoughts of you
My love i've pictured this:
Your violet eyelids opened to say "here's where you've been"
Your lips open to say "my darling it's been so very long and i'm in pain"
I know i'll never feel you
I know i'll never get so close to you that i can't smell anything else
I know i'll never see you
I know that where you go i'll still be far from where you are
My love i've pictured this:
Your violet eyelids opened to say "here's where you've been"
Your lips open to say "my darling it's been so very long and i'm in pain" sometimes i picture all your fingers
Sometimes they're crawling down my spine
Sometimes they're buttoning your jacket
Sometimes you're far but you're still mine
I know that it is raining
And i know that the rain will soak you through
And leave you like the tattered sky
I know i go in circles
I know that window panes bring only rain and not your face
Sometimes i picture all your fingers
Sometimes they're crawling down my spine
Sometimes they're buttoning your jacket
Sometimes you're far but you're still mine
I know that it is raining and
I know that the rain will soak you through and leave you like the tattered sky
I know i go in circles
All alone
Guess again
You've been known
To take the hand of any man
Who will fill your fantasy
You there
A big mistake
You're the pride
Of everything that comes around
This messed up town
You know, and I know, and I know
It's always better when
You know and I know, and I know
It's always better when
You find out we've been lying, cheating
Baby
Give me a sign
Give me a reason
Make up your mind
Darling, only a fool
Couldn't see through us
Know what we do
Just because
You're a fan
Doesn't mean
You've joined the band
And found a way
To make them think that
You're a star
Silly girl
Only I can fool the world
It's plain to see
'Cause you're just like me
You know, and I know, and I know
It's always better when
You know and I know, and I know
It's always better when
You find out we've been lying, cheating
Baby
Give me a sign
Give me a reason
Make up your mind
Darling, only a fool
Couldn't see through us
Know what we do
You know, and I know, and I know
It's always better when
You know and I know, and I know
It's always better when
You know, and I know, and I know
It's always better when
You find out we've been lying, cheating
Baby
Give me a sign
Give me a reason
Make up your mind
Darling, only a fool
Couldn't see through us
Know what we do
You know that it's true
The things that you do
I'm out of my mind
When the night comes down,
They wake up on your dreams,
The strange shadows...
Sadness again,
When like a butterfly,
Like a wind,
You sail far away...
Now.
Now the fog wraps you up,
Far away from the day,
You see someone...
Is he this one,
He, who every night,
Left his home away,
And you gave him lips...
I see in my dreams,
Like you see me,
Your body and shadow,
I want to kiss...
Hand,
I draw and you,
Don't see me, and tears,
Will sail to me...
[REF:]
Yes, you can,
Touch the dreams,
Touch the lips
Today,
When I dream about you again,
When I see you on my dreams,
I don't know why?
Flash, and opened doors,
I draw my hand,
And you,
Everyday is the same
Nothing changes
Just the names and faces
And situations
Who made up the rules
That we follow?
Who's the chosen fool
And the fallen?
I'm betting my life
That it all rewinds and erases
Do I have the right
To receive God's eternal graces?
I know, I may sound disturbed
I know
But I have this feeling that
None of this matters
I know, I may sound disturbed
I know
But I keep on thinking that
Accidents happen
Prophecies that show
Life's worth living
The tragedies we know
Unforgiving
How long must I wait
To be happy?
Is it fate or faith
That will save me?
That it all rewinds and erases
Do I have the right
To receive God's eternal graces?
I know, I may sound disturbed
I know
But I have this feeling that
None of this matters
I know, I may sound disturbed
I know
But I keep on thinking that
Accidents happen
I know, I may sound disturbed
Tried to call you, must have been away
Had to write you, we didn't talk today
Must have seen you walking through my town
Have to hold you, love without a sound
I know I won't there tomorrow, baby and now
I know I wasn't there today
These times are harder than they used to be and now
I'm fine if you're still thinking of me
I wish I'd found you, hiding right around me
Haven't seen you, things you said just yesterday
Seem to reason, reason with me suddenly
I've come to find, the reason love's in front of me
I know I won't be there tomorrow, baby and now
I know I wasn't there today
These times are harder than they used to be and now
I'm fine if you're still thinking of me
I'm comin' home now, probably won't remember me
If time were kinder you would've seen me yesterday
Sometimes I feel you, feel you there beneath me
Wrapped around you, you better come right into me
I know I won't be there tomorrow, baby and now
I know I wasn't there today
These times are harder than they used to be and now
I'm find if you're still thinking of me
Everday's a new beginning
Filled with tales untold
Through a tainted window
We all watch our lives unfold
And so it goes on and on, on and on
And so it goes
Some doors happen to be open
While others still stay closed
Why we try to plan ahead
Nobody truly knows what tomorrow holds
Oooo
That's how the story goes
Oh yeah
I know life may not always go
The way you planned it
You can't stand it
Your left alone
And abandoned
Oooo
I know the one who's in control
How he made you, won't leave you
Forsake you or deceive you
Yea... a...
Unexpected turns
The lead us off the beaten path
We end up in the desert
Wondering how long will we last
Before we crash and burn
And all our hopes turn into fears
There's beauty in the brokeness
For inside if we find
Pain produces character
Like grapes squeezed into wine
And over time
We'll see how divinely we were designed
I know life may not always go
The way you planned it
You can't stand it
Your left alone
And abandoned
Oooo
I know the one who's in control
How he made you, won't leave you
Forsake you or deceive you
Yea... a...
Life's surprises
Can paralyze us
And leaves us by the wayside
Dying to find a reason
To keep on breathing
When all hope is gone
To keep on believing
To keep on believing
I know life may not always go
The way you planned it
You can't stand it
Your left alone
And abandoned
Oooo
I know life may not always go
The way you planned it
You can't stand it
Your left alone
And abandoned
Oooo
I know the one who's in control
How he made you, won't leave you
Forsake you or deceive you
He won't leave you
Gone for a while
And then blink and revile
My old habits get confused.
They've been placating my mood
And selling me cheap solitude
But I've run out of reasons to pay.
Cause' I know you care
And I've grown so tired of not being there.
And I know you care
So I'm cutting off familiar happenings.
Conjuring up my melancholy
No that can't go on.
Certain my sadness was necessary
Oh I've been so wrong.
And all that distance that I dispatch won't ever help me feel less alone.
Stop all that dark and senseless brooding
Sing a different song.
Don't get dramatic, this ain't the movies,
Turn the camera off.
Yeah, all that acting seemed fun at first
But I've been playing this role for too long.
Conjuring up our melancholy
No that can't go on.
Certain our sadness was necessary
Oh we've been so wrong.
And all that distance that we dispatch won't ever help us feel less alone.
Stop all that dark and senseless brooding
Sing a different song.
Don't get dramatic, this ain't the movies,
Turn the camera off.
Yeah, all that acting seemed fun at first
Unspoken words, he began to say
Speak of darkness moving my way
Light shines above me, darkness sheds to light
All surroundings light up my life
But it's slowly painful to see the truth
While I sit here to wonder when it ends, ends
How controlling the illusions can get to your head
But I know, I know...
What you've done to me
It's hurting in my life
Words of wisdom help me survive
That's what he said to me
My heart's set free
Lost in love, that's what is said to be
But it's slowly painful to see the truth
While I sit here to wonder when it ends, ends
How controlling the illusions can get to your head
But I know, I know...
Ooh how can this be
This power focuses on me
Ooh why can't I see this journey
Is only meant for me
But it's slowly painful to see the truth
While I sit here to wonder when it ends, ends
How controlling the illusions can get to your head
But I know, I know...
Light shines above me, darkness sheds to light
I know, I know, I know!
I know, I know, I know!
I know, I know, I know!

You say the only man in your life, that's me
Who pays your bills and give you money, that's me
When you need your hair done, who do you come see
Been coming home late every night, around 3
I'm just trying to figure out, where do you be
We ain't been making love
This don't seem right to me cuz baby
1 - I know, all about your late night creep
I know, the guy up in the club that your seeing
I know, you ain't been out with your crew
Cuz they've been ringing my phone for you
I know, all about your late night creep
I know, the hotel that you're in with him
I know, you ain't been out with your crew
Cuz they've been ringing my phone for you
I know
Don't try to say a word or try to explain
Don't try to tell me you won't do it again
I don't wanna even try
Baby you know I'm through
Leave the keys to the house and the car, I'm done
Can't believe I thought I was your only one
I don't wanna see you again
Get out, you're dismissed cuz I don't want you
Repeat 1
If luck appears
You insists on playing games
I know that you can just be for the fame
I didn't see it coming so why the pain (Why)
I thought that you would never fly
So how you make me think I was your only guy
I'm not a fool
Now my eyes are open wide
2 - I know about the guys and the late night creeps
And how you did your thing in between the sheets
They talk about you around town
And how you been messing around
I know about your girls and the whole damn crew
The guy that you took for a rendezvous
I thought your heart was true
And now I'm not messin' with you
Repeat 1
Repeat 1
Repeat 2
I know
I'm not impressed out but it might seem to look that way to you
I can impress I can try to come off cool
And if you drag me into feeling like I'm tired of you
I wouldn't care even though it might seem to look that way
Don't tell me now I know
I'll figure it out on my own
I'm not in check but I don't show what I say to you
I never flinch never care I know I'm cool
And if you drag me into feeling like I'm tired of you
I wouldn't care even though your in front of me
Don't tell me now I know
I'll figure it out on my own
Don't you think you know you might
This offering my friends invite
Go ahead and face what's mine
The end of you I wash the slime
Don't tell me now I know
I'll figure it out on my own
Don't you think you could
I, I know, oh, yes, I know
That you and I will never meet again
Woah, for you, for you were meant for somebody else
(Somebody else)
Woah, woah, woah, that night, oh, yes, that night
That night when first we met I fell in love with you
And now I simply can't forget
(I can't forget)
Oh, darling, what if
We never meet again beneath the moonlit sky
But I know that my love will follow you
As the years go passing by
Oh, I know, oh, yes, I know
That you and I will never meet again
For you, for you were meant for somebody else
So be it, I'm your crowbar
If thats what I am so far
Until you get out of this mess
And I will pretend
That I dont know of your sins
Until you are ready to confess
But all the time, all the time
I'll know, I'll know
And you can use my skin
To bury your secrets in
And I will settle you down
And at my own suggestion,
I will ask no questions
While I do my thing in the background
But all the time, all the time
i'll know, I'll know
Baby-I can't help you out, while she's still around
So for the time being, I'm being patient
And amidst this bitterness
If you'll consider this-even if it dont make sense
All the time-give it time
And when the crowd becomes your burden
And you've early closed your curtains,
I'll wait by the backstage door
While you try to find the lines to speak your mind
And pry it open, hoping for an encore
And if it gets too late, for me to wait
For you to find you love me, and tell me so
It's ok, dont need to say it
Brown feather at the shopping-mall
Rabbits dying on the A41
This world’s a jungle and its almost gone
Let the water come
Let the water come
Wake up, this is your wake up-call
It’s 2/11, 7 minutes, come on you gotta run yeah
This world’s a jungle and I’m not that strong
Let the water come
It’s because I’m bruised, dear
I lose it every time
I wanna kill my prophecies
Can you tell me why
I know
If we don’t change, dear
I Know I need to be strong
I do feel the pain, dear
I know we are heading wrong
Four seasons and no one knows which one
That’s because snow’s falling
When there should be sun
Running motors, industries,
too many guns
Let the water come
It’s because I’m bruised, dear
I lose it every time
I wanna kill my prophecies
Can you tell me why
I know
If we don’t change, dear
I Know I need to be strong
I do feel the pain, dear
I know we are heading wrong
Be quiet
You just wait in silence
Words that I need to hear
The earth, the people and the sky
are fading
Brown feather at the shopping-mall...
I know it seems so bold
And I know that it's hard to endure
But I have to do this now
If I could have your hand through this
It would be so much easier
But I know it's too much to ask of you
I know... yes I know but
If only you could see
That this is all I have
Then you'd know that
I can't let go on I can't let go
But I hope that you are there
If I do make it through
Then I'd tell you
I proved you wrong
I'll prove you wrong
You say it's not my fault
But I'll take the blame and live with it for
The dame went almost crazy yesterday
Trying to save me from myself
I know she loves me when she acts that way
Crying those tears just to bring me back
She keeps on smiling a she pulls away
Pushes me down and holds me down
I'd chase her shadow but the sky is gray
And it's time to go. she has got to go
But it makes no difference
Because I'm going to stay awhile
Rising up in the distance
She's going to let me follow
I know she stands for something
A different way for me
In my mind's eye she was a stowaway
On our last passage to spain
She never would have noticed me anyway
My face was washed away by the rain
"trust jesus" painted on the overpass
With every mile passing I believe
I think that something from this life has got to last
I'll drop it off when I leave
I know she stands for something
A different way for me
I know she stands for something
A different way for me
I know that i am the loser of the game
I Have the Will to Keep going, but Time has changed
Try for you, Cry for you someday i 'll die for you
Still my these words have the strength.
I Know I know I Know
i am the loser of the game
I Know I Know I Know
I Try the best I can
I can read my heart with the lifeless beats
and now i am just walking down on the street
sitting on the cornor, singing songs about the change
thinking about my restless heart, feeling my cold breaths.
I Know I know I Know
i am the loser of the game
I Know I Know I Know
I Try the best I can
I know i can think better then i can do
but there is no way out when the mettar is you
i just want to set myself free form your octopus memories
i wounder and now i belive how lies becomes true.
I Know I know I Know
i am the loser of the game
I Know I Know I Know
I know
you might think that I don't listen
but I promise I've heard every word
why do you leave me so confused
I feel so up and down with you
with you
I don't understand what's so wrong
I'm trying so hard to make things better
it would be so much easier to hold you close to me
and feel you breathing
feel you breathe next to me
I know these times are strange
and I know you don't feel the same
but I know that I have changed
now I know that I have the strength
to treat you better
now there's no turning back
and all that's ahead points to forever
It's been several weeks now since we've had fun
It should be over now but I think you're the one
You're not like other girls: I don't get sick of you
Please stop these stupid games and see the truth
It seems ironic that you're scared of losing me
The only problem that we have is you can't see
You're not like other girls: I don't' get sick of you
Please stop these stupid games and see the truth:
I watch you drive away
and I know....... that this is not the end
you've played this game before
and I know...... I am still more than a friend
Starting to think that trust is something you can't have
What kind of relationship is this if you're always sad
I'm not like other guys: I won't be mean to you
Can't open up to me you'll never see the truth
I watch you drive away
And I know:. That this time will be the end
Cause I'm through playing games
At last the town's on fire and I'm on my way
You heard that before, I know
A lonely gun for hire with nowhere to stay
You heard that before, I know
And what about my princess, the one I left behind
You heard that before, I know
She's maybe someone's mistress course she's far too kind
You heard that before, I know
I know you heard this before
Even though I act like a whore
I think you're a bore
I won't tell you in letters anymore
We shared a dream of armies marching hand in hand
You heard that before, I know
No fingers on the trigger, no leaders no land
You heard that before, I know
Forgive me for trying, I know I said I'll quit
You heard that before, I know
But I'm forced to give my all, when no one gives a shit
Everday's a new beginning
Filled with tales untold
Through a tainted window
We all watch our lives unfold
And so it goes on and on, on and on
And so it goes
Some doors happen to be open
While others still stay closed
Why we try to plan ahead
Nobody truly knows what tomorrow holds
Oooo
That's how the story goes
Oh yeah
I know life may not always go
The way you planned it
You can't stand it
Your left alone
and abandoned
Oooo
I know the one who's in control
How he made you, won't leave you
Forsake you or deceive you
Yea ... a...
Unexpected turns
The lead us off the beaten path
We end up in the desert
Wondering how long will we last

And all our hopes turn into fears

Oooo

Yea ... a...
Life's surprises
Can paralyze us
And leaves us by the wayside
Dying to find a reason
To keep on breathing
When all hope is gone
To keep on believing
To keep on believing
I know life may not always go
The way you planned it
You can't stand it
Your left alone
and abandoned
Oooo
I know life may not always go
The way you planned it
You can't stand it
Your left alone
and abandoned
Oooo
I know the one who's in control
How he made you, won't leave you
Forsake you or deceive you
He won't leave you
It’s been several weeks now since we’ve had fun
It should be over now but I think you’re the one
You’re not like other girls… I don’t get sick of you
Please stop these stupid games and see the truth
Its ironic that you’re scared of losing me
The only problem that we have is that you can’t see
You’re not like other girls… I don’t’ get sick of you
Please stop these stupid games and see the truth…
I watch you drive away
and I know....... that this is not the end
its that you think that trust is something you don't have
What kind of relationship is this if you’re always sad
I’m not like other guys… I won’t be mean to you
Can’t open up your eyes, you'll never see the truth
I watch you drive away
And I know…. That this time will be the end
Cause I’m through playing games
This wine, your eyes
Matching so sublime
And I'm sure I pour divine boy
Yes with grace, I'll throw it in your face
and make 'm laugh in a very public place
If you won't listen to what I say boy
Just be sure to slink away
My shoe, your crotch
You will only feel the pain
Of a girl unrestrained
It was cruel, I know I know, I love it
It was crass, I know I know, I had to
And I think, you know you know, you needed it bad
Ain't it time to read the signs, boys
Can't you see I draw the line, boy
Don't you feel, I just had enough
And I'm about, I'm about to play it rough
It was cruel, I know I know, I love it
It was crass, I know I know, I had to
And I think, you know you know, you needed it bad
And I'm no saint and I will not be contained, no way, no way, no way I'll be tamed, no way
It was cruel, I know I know, I love it
It was crass, I know I know, I had to
It was cruel, I know I know, I love it
And I think, you know you know, you need it
It was cruel, I know I know, I love it
It was crass, I know I know, I had to
And I think, you know you know, you needed it bad
And I'm no saint and I will not be contained, no way, no way, no way I'll be tamed, no way
I cried myself to sleep last night (night)
Thinking about the way we used to be (used to be)
The time has come now
To make a decision (make a decision)
And all I ask from you is one more chance (one more chance)
(Chorus)
I know, I know
Things will never be the same again
And I know, I know
But all I want from you is one more chance
I know, I know
Things will never be the same again
And I know, I know
but all I want from you is one more chance
I know, I know
Things will never be the same again
I know I know
But all I want from you is one more chance
I can`t imagine life without your love (out your love)
cause no one makes me feel the way you do (way you do)
The time has come now
To make a decision (make a decision)
And all I ask from you is one more chance (one more chance)
(chorus)
I know, I know
things will never be the same again
And I know, I know
But all I want from you is one more chance
I know, I know
Things will never be the same again
And I know, I know
but all I want from you is one more chance
I know, I know (7 times)
Things will never be the same again
I know, I know
But all I want from you is one more chance
I know, I know
things will never be the same again
And I know, I know
But all I want from you is one more chance
I Know

Album: Solitary Confinement
Song: I Know
[Verse 1: Skirmish]
My whole life I was lied to
That’s the reason I’ve spent most of my whole life
trying to find truth
I’m suicidal, headed for my grave
When I put the blades edge onto my veins
Ignoring anything they say, all the jealousy and hate
My character get judged from expressions on my face
[Foreal]
I’m thinking back and remembering the days
But eventually my memories will fade
And since entering the game [I know]
Things will never be the same, the world gets pleasure
from my pain
My girl left and everything has changed
Now my blood boils with every mention of her name [It’s
that deep]
I’m torn between a devil and a saint
Now there’s countless doubts about myself embedded in
my brain
And I’m going crazy
Surrounded by loved one’s but I’m the only person that
I know that hates me
Killing me inside, thinking I’m alive
Living just to die
Wanted to give up, pick up, run from home
Uncontrolled was such in rush to grow
There are so many people in life that come and go
Very few people in life that touch your soul
So, by giving up I’m letting myself down
I question myself, am I heaven or hell bound
[Chorus]
[I know...]
That life’s hard and it keeps getting harder
I got questions I’m seeking an answer
The truth hiding deeper and darker
[I know...]
That life’s hard and it keeps getting harder
I got questions I’m seeking an answer
The truth hiding deeper and darker
[Verse 2: Psiklone]
My soul died the day I opened my eyes
Exposing the lies and realised this world is colder
than ice
I try to take control of my life
But gotta go with flow cos I know it’s like the roll of
a dice
Lost all hope multiple times
But I'm soldiering by cos I know it’s my goal to
survive
Most of the night I lie awake facing the ceiling
Can’t fall asleep torn between angels and demons
I'ma walk till I fall to my knees
And if I fall I will stand tall like a man born to
succeed
Won’t forfeit my dreams cos their worth the patience
I take the burning hatred and turn it straight into
determination
The universe is supersized
While our planets stupid curse is more human wrongs
than human rights
Religion’s playing games
It’s the opium of the masses, so I take the lords name
in vein
We’re all blind and cloaked in darkness
It’s a straight fact that nobody knows the answers
Some trust in a holy father cos they were baptized
Shame they need to fear God just to act right
I guess that's life, its strangely tragic
Just when you taste the magic, before you know it fades
to blackness
No one can know the facts
But one things certain, nothing's gonna hold me back
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 3: Possessed]
In my life compassion is scarce
I’m trapped and ensnared in this superficial Vanity
Fair
Where tyranny reigns
I’m not comforted by phrases like "God works in
mysterious ways"
Hope deteriorates, the poor are getting poorer
Submerged tenth, we’re stuck treading water
Depressive aura and corruption in the hearts of men
Watching as half my friends turn into Harvey Dents
Will I suffer in silence (No)
Born with half the blood but none of the luck of the
Irish
And I need radical changes
Couldn’t see the writing on the wall cos my back was
against it
I hate this not thinking positively
When we’re taught with no college degrees, tomorrow is
bleak
I don’t know what to believe
God don’t offer relief, the Devil keeps following me
So, are there angels above?
I pray for heavens inhabitants, hope that their praying
for us
Depression, it runs in my genes
No matter race, colour or creed we, struggle to breathe
And underachieve
Alcohol arranged a meeting between my uncle and the
cousin of sleep
Suicide the numbers increase
When I go the whole fucking globes coming with me so
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
[Beyoncé]
Hey little lady why you walkin with your head hung low
(mmm)
There's gotta be an answer to whatever you dont know
(yeah)
Got Little Man in the stroller lookin' at ya
Don't understand but he knows his Momma's sad
Why ya runnin away
When you're problem's gonna find you
Dry your eyes and take the time to pray
Cuz I know what you're goin through
Don't let it get the best of you
Everybody goes through things
Don't worry it will be ok
I know what you're goin through
Don't let it get the best of you
Everybody goes through change
And made it through yesterday
[Kelly]
Whatever happen to livin in a world of peace
And equality oh
One in the same yet we killin' one another for greed.
And jealousy
(we got)
300 million men and women out there who love someone
(someone)
Epidemic's got our nation dying young
Better be ready when He comes
Cuz I know what you're goin through
Don't let it get the best of you
Everybody goes through things
Don't worry it will be ok
I know what you're goin through
Don't let it get the best of you

Alright, yeah

Don't let it get the best of you
Everybody goes through things
Don't worry it will be ok
I know what you're goin through
Don't let it get the best of you
Everybody goes through change
And made it through yesterday
A story lies behind your eyes
And I know
A story lies behind your pride
And I know
These things we hold indefinitely
Wanting to be free
The strings we tie remind us
over and over again
I wanted to write the world for you
Give you new eyes to see
I wanted to right the world for you
To set you free A history built on a thousand lies
And I know
A history fallen from seeded skies
And I know
Desperately wanting identity
Hoping for what could be
Clinging to reach ahead and see
While falling all over the past
I wanted to write the world for you
Give you new eyes to see
I wanted to right the world for you
To set you free
Don’t you ever leave!
Don’t you ever go away!
I love you, I love you!
Yea, I’m begging you, don’t you leave,
Yea, I’m begging you, don’t you go!
You’ve got my heart, you’ve got my heart!
I know I f-cked off, I know I f-cked off!
I know I f-cked off!
I’m sorry baby!
Baby I need you, baby I need you, yeah!
I need you baby!
But now you’re going
And I’m forced to deal with your absence,
All alone in this madness,
All alone on my mattress,
Don’t know how the hell this happened!
You know loving me was a hazard,
Outcome of my actions.
I wish we could go back,
Go back a couple of chapters,
Back when there was laughter,
Back when we first met,
Before we came such a disaster,
Before your heart got sharper,
Before I forgot how much you meant it.
Crazy we don’t realize what we have until after.
We no longer have it!
Don’t you ever leave!
Don’t you ever go away!
I love you, I love you!
Yea, I’m begging you, don’t you leave,
Yea, I’m begging you, don’t you go!
You’ve got my heart, you’ve got my heart!
You say you’re out the door,
You’re out the door,
You’re sick and tired can’t take no more,
Can’t take no more!
You know the game,
And try to help it time and time before,
Told me you don’t have time to waste it,
And hey, you’ve got to go, you’ve got to go!
Can help on thinking at you when I’m alone,
When I’m alone!
Try in vain, I call your cell, you don’t pick up your phone,
Guess that you really mean you meant just what you said,
You said just what you meant,
Getting all this bread but it don’t mean sh-t,
F-ck the dough I get, plus the dough I spend, yeah!
Don’t you ever leave!
Don’t you ever go away!
I love you, I love you!
Yea, I’m begging you, don’t you leave,
Yea, I’m begging you, don’t you go!
You’ve got my heart, you’ve got my heart!
Hey superstar,
There’s a raincloud above my heart
And it’s only because of you
I knew it from the very start
Running out of complaints
No, no! …my bodies sedate,
Looking at my heart I’ll give it away babe
And I‘ma honor and cherish our blazer
Baby...
Don’t you ever leave!
Don’t you ever go away!
I love you, I love you!
Yea, I’m begging you, don’t you leave,
Yea, I’m begging you, don’t you go!
You’ve got my heart, you’ve got my heart!
I know I f-cked off, I know I f-cked off!
I know I f-cked off!
I’m sorry baby!
Baby I need you, baby I need you, yeah!
I need you baby!
Aww no, no you do
Aww no, no you do

If you won't listen to what I say boy

Of a girl unrestrained

And I'm about, I'm about to play it rough
It was cruel, I know I know, I love it
It was crass, I know I know, I had to
And I think, you know you know, you needed it bad
And I'm no saint and I will not be contained,
no way, no way, no way I'll be tamed, no way
Yes I'm cruel, I know I know, I love it
I'm crass, I know I know, I have to
I'm cruel, I know I know, I love it
And I think, you know you know, you need it
I know I know, I love it
I'm crass, I know I know, I have to
When I think, you know you know, you needed it bad
And I'm no saint and I will not be contained,
no way, no way, no way I'll be tamed, no way
Im about to shock the world

Jaws drop when you see this girl

E'rybody on the floor if you workin' with somethin'
Vibe go right through ya
Ooh what that groove do to ya

Flamin' out the box scaldin' hot
Ice water couldn't stop hits burnin' ya block
Edgy pop lil' rock wit that real hip hop

All ya'll followin' me just for rappin'
Dam I got the world in a frenzy
Haters gon' envy that don't offend me
Wit' ya little attitude please don't tempt me
Get ya gassed just to leave ya tank empty

If ya really want ya got to come and get me
Dog I make ya shake and twist drop and bounce
And repeat the hook that I spit out
On 22s peelin pull up to the clizzub it's packed to the ceilin
Bunch of guys goin off like lil' girls on the side showin off like
ATL in the house be the teens wearin jeans rockin gold in they mouth
Kingston upstate New York
Lil' place up North where the style is raw
Hit me up 2-way or the celli

now that ya know that im bringin' it
let me know what's up tell me if you feelin it
one time now back to the song
I know what you're doing yeah
I know why you dial my number
I know what you're doing yeah
I know why you care
I know what you're doing yeah
I know why you say you love me
I know what you're doing yeah
I don't think it's fair
I know why you dial my number
I know why you say you're mine
I know what you're doing
And it's not gonna work this time
Not gonna work this time
I know what you're doing yeah
I could never sing in that key
I know what you're doing yeah
And you're the one to blame
I know what you're doing yeah
I know why you can't forgive me
I know why you're singing lost love
The lyrics haven't changed
I can recognize the symptoms
You should know I've changed my mind
I know what you're doing
And it's not gonna work this time
Said it's not gonna work this time
Not gonna work this time
Not gonna work this time
I know what you're doing baby
I know why you call my name
I know why you say you love me
But I can't say the same
I can recognize the symptoms
You should know I've changed my mind
I know what you're doing
You have got your troubles
And I have got my problems
And weâ-e never gonna get a solution
No matter how hard we try
Our time is only passin' by
We'll never get a revolution
I know, we can't, change the world today
No matter what we do
I know
We got to be strong
I know
We got it all wrong
Planet earth is spinning
With a thousand miles per hour
And there's nothing we can do about it
A total mass suicide could never help us to survive
But we're to stupid to believe it
I know, we can, save the world today
But someone has to pay
I know
We got to be strong
I know
We got it all wrong
ADL rap
Take away my fears
Just so I can face another day
Wash away my tears
And tell me everything's gonna be ok
Would you lie to me?
Would you cover up me eyes?
Would you tell me so I'm not so surprised?
I wish you'd shelter me
Wish you'd bring me in again
But I know inside that I've reached the end
And I know
That you can not forgive me now
And I know
The hardest part is getting by
And I know
That there's no way to change this now
This time I already know
Understand how I feel
Losing you has taken me away
My mistake that I deal with
I deal with time and over time again
Would you lie to me?
Would you cover up me eyes?
Would you tell me so I'm not so surprised?
I wish you'd shelter me
Wish you'd bring me in again
But I know inside that I've reached the end
And I know
That you can not forgive me now
And I know
The hardest part is getting by
And I know
That there's no way to change this now
I have been lost in my life
and I mean over and over again
But there was something inside me that felt so right
You and music were my only friend
You were always there along the way
With every breath and every step I take
I can leave you alone, but I'll never leave you
I can't tell you a lie and I'll never deceive you
I can hold on forever and never let go
I know that you know
I know that you know I know
You are the voice inside me that tells me over
And over again
That my spirit can fly me,
Won't deny me
And there'll be no beginning or end
There are angels singing in the sky
They see our love and give us wings to fly, high yeah
I can leave you alone, but I'll never leave you
I can't tell you a lie and I'll never deceive you
I can hold on forever and never let go
I know that you know
I know that you know I know
Can't imagine livin' in this world without you here
Do you know what that makes me baby
Like an animal that's running from the scent of fear
All me paranoid but I'm not crazy
I know you know it's true
We're never apart, we are one heart
I'll love you over and over and over and over
I can leave you alone, but I'll never leave you
I won't tell you no lies and I'll never deceive you
I can hold on forever and I won't let go
I know that you know
I know that you know I know
And I'm never letting go, baby
I know that you know, I know
As we drive through the starlight-drenched hills in her
car,
I wish I could feel this without coming so far.
And the glow of the city won't ever compare
To the feel of this night as the wind blows through our
hair
I know,
I've lost more than I've ever had.
I know,
Your kindness is more than a fad
I know,
I can call you when I feel sad
There's a chill in the air as the autumn draws near,
As we walk and you do the things that I hold dear.
The way you laugh, the way you think of everyone before
yourself,
And in your heart there's more kindness than one song
could tell.
I know,
I've lost more than I've ever had.
I know,
Your kindness is more than a fad
I know,
I can call you when I feel sad
I know,
I've lost more than I've ever had.
I know,
Your kindness is more than a fad
I know,
cold as a stone
and rough when you touch..
like you fight to get,
what you've already got..
we can' t let love take over anymore..
and i know
there is someone on your mind..
i know my love
i know how it burns..
and i know that it won't last long..
i know how it hurts..
free to love
since you pay the price..
you're meant to be mine,only..
and i know you will try...
i know my love
i know how it burns..
and i know that it won't last long..
IRV GOTTI:
Dear Lord, I come to You a humble man
Asking Your forgiveness for all my sins that I've committed throughout my life
And Lord, I ask of You one more thing
Have mercy on my enemies, for they not know what they do
As we proceed, Chapter II
CHORUS:
I know it gets hard for us sometimes
And I know we can't stop living this life
I know it gets harder everyday
But I know we can't stop living this way
1ST VERSE:
Some days I would say there's got to be a better way
See, I don't know if I want to live my life like this for each and every day
But now I found that I've got to say
Even though it gets hard, I came this far
And I can't live my life no other way
CHORUS
2ND VERSE:
I tried to figure out if there's another path for me
'Cause all these ups and downs and ins and outs be kind of stressing me
But I could never see myself living like nothing else
It's hard to tell, but I know this life too well
BRIDGE:
Sometimes people just don't know
What they are and what to follow
Even when it don't seem right
Get on by and live your life
CHORUS
Oooooh, oooooh
Oooooh, oooooh
CHORUS X2
IRV GOTTI:
Yeah, for all my peoples living that everyday life
Sometimes you gon' have ups, sometimes you gon' have downs
Fight through that y'all, keep pushin' it, don't ever stop pushin, don't ever stop believing
Take the good with the bad
You know, it's gon' be alright
Ashanti, I.G.
Message brought to you from Murder Inc
Umm, Umm, Umm Yes
Yes I forgive you for everything you've done
There's no feeling sorry
You see a new day is begun
There ain't no pockets
You got a few of my tears, but those you can have
Cause I don't need them here
[Chorus:]
See I know what it feels like to get struck
Then have to turn and walk away
And I know what it feels like to lose your peace
But then forget that you did not pray
And I know how it feels when
Somebody does you wrong intentionally
That's why I try to live right
And late at night, I say my prayers before I sleep
Hey, I know [x6]
No I won't pick up and cause a commotion
Cause every word I could say would be a wasted emotion
See there ain't no possession
You got the key to some of my pain
But don't worry about the return
Because the locks have been changed
I know what it feels like to get stuck in between
But don't know which way is best to return
And I know what it feels like to do the right thang
But then somehow it's still wrong
See I know how it feels why you got a best friend
That treats you differently away from home
And I know how it feels to stray through
Your enemies and your kinfolk
I know [x6]
Maybe I will go back on everything I've seen
Take it for what it was
It's not a part of me
See here in my world
It's so easy to forgive
But here in my heart
It gets harder to live
Goin' hard
thinkin of you
I feel so alone
and I don't really know what to do.
time goes by
and when the raindrops
fall from the sky
i know
that there's no reason
why you should lie
and come back to me
give me your ring
i know you care for me
and we can talk just about anything
just tell me how
i can hold on to this moment for now
i want to treat this feeling some how
i know you're my love
even though
sometimes i
believe, i will wake up
from this dream
because love,
i fly high above
from the clouds
i reach out
for you or is it too good
to be true?
because i know
things happen so fast
and it makes me low
because i feel that this won't last
but when you write
that you yearn for me in the light
i feel that things are still quite alright
and then you say
you think of me all the time
you know it makes my day
i feel like you are always behind
just tell me how
i can hold onto this moment for now.
i want to keep this feeling some how.
i know you're my love
even though
sometimes i
believe i will wake up
from this dream
because love,
i fly high above
from the clouds
i reach out for you
or is it too good to be true?
just tell me how i can hold onto this moment for now. i
want to treat this feeling some how.
i know you're my love even though sometimes i believe i
will wake up from this dream because love, i fly high
above from the clouds i reach out for you or is it too
I'm tired of all the lies
I wish, I could run away
If miracles last forever
But forever died yesterday
Now there's nowhere left to go
Still you tell me so, I know, I know
Everywhere I go, I know, I know
Still you tell me so, I know, I know
Everywhere I go, I know, I know
Am I still in your heart
It's getting kind of hard to tell
In this nightmare you call heaven
In this heaven that I call hell
Now there's nowhere left to go
Still you tell me so, I know, I know
Everywhere I go, I know, I know
Still you tell me so, I know, I know
