I Know Better Lyrics
Wish I knew then
What I know now
Said I’ve been through hills
And I’ve been through valleys
Been up and down the rocky road again
I’ve been down and out
And pushed about
I’ve known rise and fall
But through it all
I’m still going strong
I’m still going strong yeah
Say my papa done left me from I was a little baby
Though it was natural for everybody
To be pushed around
And left alone
Every once in a while
You have a jailhouse style
But I’m still going strong yes
Yeah, I’m still going strong
I know better
I learned that money can make you
Have the prettiest loveliest widest smile
I know better
I know that money can make you have things easy
All of the while
I know better
I know that love is a love
When you ain’t gotta give whatever or needs
I know better
And I must say
I’m proud of the way that I man live
Yes, yes
Still going strong
Listen to me good when I talk to everybody
Anything can happen if you ain’t got no money
You’ll be victimized
Pushed aside
Then denied
If you keep your pride
You’ll be still going strong
Still going strong
I know better
I learned that money can make you
Have the prettiest loveliest widest smile
I know better
I know that money can make you have things easy
All of the while
I know better
I know that love is a love
When you ain’t gotta give whatever or needs
I know better
And I must say
I’m proud of the way that I man live
Yes, yes
Still going strong
Said I’ve been through hills
And I’ve been through valleys
Been up and down the rocky road again
I’ve been down and out
And pushed about
I’ve known rise and fall
But through it all
I’m still going strong
I’m still going strong yeah
Say my papa done left me from I was a little baby
Though it was natural for everybody
To be pushed around
And left alone
Every once in a while
You have a jailhouse style
But I’m still going strong yes
Yeah, I’m still going strong
I know better
I learned that money can make you
Have the prettiest loveliest widest smile
I know better
I know that money can make you have things easy
All of the while
I know better
I know that love is a love
When you ain’t gotta give whatever or needs
I know better
And I must say
I’m proud of the way that I man live
Yes, yes
Still going strong
