Murs - What Do You Know? Lyrics
*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 plateAnd peep the way I truly swing, you could never out meSee, opinions are like rap careers: Everybody's got oneAnd most of 'em out to zip, even less if it's a hot oneLike the radio songs that make us sing along'Cause the beat is real heavy and the hook is real catchyMake you nod your head steady, and you don't feel sketchy'Til you're all by yourself, and you ridin' aroundAnd realize to yourself how stupid it soundsMainstream or Underground, away team, home townIt boils down to the facts: Wack is wackCamby can't hold Shaq, and a party ain't a party ifyou don't bring a sackOr your own 12-Pack or this 12 on the waxI detail every track to make a sentence sparkleGiving thoughts to the thoughtful, but I don't knowHow I know how to pull these diamonds outta charcoalI 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 doAnd knowing to play the hand that God chose to hand youI plan to double down when my turn comes aroundI suggest you do the same, you can't take these chips with youSo it's best to play the game while there's breath up in your frameJudge to death be the name, so I modern-day confuseFor you Latter Day souls, promote the type of funThat makes your Saturdays whole, grey matter turn goldWith the stroke of a pen, help your spirit verge freeBefore it chokes from within, me I'm cloaked in my sinSo I decorate my shrow, so the tat on my armIs the badge of a proud, B-Boy gone wildIn the rap sense of child born in '78So I know no other culture just to set the record straightI'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 canI know a friend's not a friend just because he lends a handI know a man's not a man, if he has to beat his womanI 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 senselessI know this 'cause I lived it, and I mean every sentenceI know that 25 to Life is a very long timeI know that that's the reason that I have to go for mineI know that waitin' on no man is the scheduled flight of timeI know that time is unfair when I listen to SublimeI 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 andI know you gotta feel me, or my fate is soon to seal meI know that cigarettes and alcohol are out to kill meI know I gotta quit, but not right knowI know I gotta quit, but I just don't know how; I just[Chorus]
