[Intro: Chad Jones]
Mess with me on this one, OG
Know what I'm saying?
No for real, look
Uh
You know?
Yeah
I'm saying keep up!
[Verse 1: Chad Jones]
Y'all, I can't believe life is random
Something's gotta be working in tandem
Whatever to get then my life an example
Someone's remix fixing scandal
Cuz' I don't think it just happened
This feels bigger than chance
Somebody built my story, yo, and I can see the diagrams
Who's been looking over my shoulder when I be mumble, mumble
Don't crumble, crumble
I don't hear what you're saying all the time
But when I do hear it I be fine, bruh
My experience--absolute
Since whipping that '02 Malibu
And hit the limousine, it felt like an alley-oop
Slammed it head-on, oh, scratched the roof
It's about one out of ten I'm alive
Still I pretended I did it just fine
How? I don't know, I survived
My sister hit a guard rail, flipped over a car, and she died!
She ain't here and I am
No I don't believe that her life was worthless
See just a piece of my purpose
Buried with her underneath the surface
[Hook: Foure]
I know, yeah, I know
That there's got to be somebody out there looking out for me
Through everything that's been happening
I'm here, that's how I know that you're there
And I know (I know)
I know (I know)
I know (I know)
I know (I know, I know)
I know (I know)
I know
That's how I know that you're there
I know (I know)
I know (I know)
I know (I know)
I know (I know, I know)
I know (I know)
I know
That's how I know that you're there, yeah
[Verse 2: Chad Jones]
My mama missed all the right turns in my life
Before I left the womb I was on the pipes
She drove me the drugs, that's coke and ice, no cola, hold up
Coping that 'caine in a venge got me taken from her and away
Never to be seen until I turned 18
We had an accidental meeting
My painkiller day cuz' even if I took a pill
Man I want healing
None of my feelings, dark
That moment was dominated by my devastation
I was so agitated and distant
Cuz' she ain't have enough for me
Asked for a tween to get high with (I ain't give it to her)
But it took that moment to really thank God I'm adopted
[Hook: Foure]
I know, yeah, I know
That there's got to be somebody out there looking out for me
Through everything that's been happening
I'm here, that's how I know that you're there
And I know (I know)
I know (I know)
I know (I know)
I know (I know, I know)
I know (I know)
I know
That's how I know that you're there
I know (I know)
I know (I know)
I know (I know)
I know (I know, I know)
I know (I know)
I know
That's how I know that you're there, yeah
I know, yeah, I know
That there's got to be somebody out there looking out for me
Through everything that's been happening
I'm here, that's how I know that you're there
And I know (I know)
I know (I know)
I know (I know)
I know (I know-ooh)
I know
I know
That's how I know that you're there
I know (I know)
I know (I know)
I know (I know)
I know (I know-ooh)
I know
I know
That's how I know that you're there, yeah
