KNOW ABOUT ME

[Chorus]
LATELY I’VE BEEN FACING ALL MY DEMONS
CLEANING OUT THE SKULLS IN MY CLOSET WITH THE PRIEST
EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY, CUS MY PAIN BURIED DEEPLY
I USE TO LOOK AWAY WHEN I WOULD CATCH MY EYES AT ME
NOW I FORCE A SMILE JUST TO BANDAGE UP THE WEAK END
TRYNA SAVE MY TEARS BUT IT’S BEEN TUGGING AT MY FEET
KNOWING THAT MY SOUL BEGGING FOR SOME MORE RELEASING
CHANGING UP MY WAYS, OLD ME REST IN PEACE
IF YOU DONT KNOW, NOW YOU KNOW ABOUT ME

[VERSE 1]
TAKE YOU ON A TRIP BACK DOWN MEMORY LANE
PICTURE LITTLE ME, PICTURE JOY PICTURE PAIN
USED TO WONDER WHY MY MAMA WASN’T IN THE FRAME
POPS WAS 25 BY THE TIME I KNEW THE GAME
THIS WAS ROUND THE TIME WHEN I WAS STAYING NEAR THE LITOS
CLARA BARTON NIGGAZ HAD ME SQUABBIN LIKE SOME FREE THROWS
BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB WAS TRAINING YARD FOR THE HEIGHTS
BY THE AGE OF 12 I BET YOU WOULDNT TEST ME TWICE

FAST FORWARD LATER 4 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD
AGE OF 16 I LEARNED HOW TO SLANG DOUGH. WATCHING NIGGAZ RAP AS IF THEY WERE A FATHER FIGURE
SEEING DENZEL THINKING IMA BE THAT NIGGA
MET SOME WHITE FOLKS WHO TAUGHT ME HOW TO A RIFE
MTV THOUGHT A NIGGAZ RAPS WAS NICE
BUT AT THE END OF DAYS I KNOW THERE’S MORE FOR ME TO REACH IN
PRAYING CUS OF

[Chorus]
LATELY I’VE BEEN FACING ALL MY DEMONS
CLEANING OUT THE SKULLS IN MY CLOSET WITH THE PRIEST
EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY, CUS MY PAIN BURIED DEEPLY
I USE TO LOOK AWAY WHEN I WOULD CATCH MY EYES AT ME
NOW I FORCE A SMILE JUST TO BANDAGE UP THE WEAK END
TRYNA SAVE MY TEARS BUT IT’S BEEN TUGGING AT MY FEET
KNOWING THAT MY SOUL BEGGING FOR SOME MORE RELEASING
CHANGING UP MY WAYS, OLD ME REST IN PEACE
IF YOU DONT KNOW, NOW YOU KNOW ABOUT ME

[VERSE 2]
BY MY JORDAN YEAR I LOST MY GRANNY IN A SNAP
SELLING OFF MY TRAUMA, PLACE THAT SHIT UP IN A RAP
WITNESSED MANY DEATHS, SO NOW THAT SHIT JUST FEELS NUMB
2 YEARS LATER AND I HAVE YET TO HAVE A SON
AGE OF 25, BEEN REFLECTING ON MY DAYS
POPS WAS TRYING HARD TO BE BETTER AT THIS AGE
FOCUSED ON A MISSION, NEVER BITCHIN, GETTIN TO IT
2 YEARS LATER, AND I’M STILL GOING THROUGH IT

SO NOW I’M 27, THINKING 10 YEARS AGO. FRESH OUT THE SYSTEM, SECOND GUESSING BOUT THE ROPES. TAKING EVERY LESSON, AS A BLESSING ITS WORTH A LIVIN
LEARN ABOUT MYSELF, REMINDING ME THAT I AM GIFTED
THIS AINT FOR THE WEAK, I NOTICE HOW THEM NIGGAZ FOLD
NIGGAZ GETTIN JEALOUS CUS MY TOUCHES TURN TO GOLD
BUT EVERYDAY I WAKE I KNOW I’M BLESSED, IT AINT NO SECRET
THANKING GOD CUS

[Chorus]
LATELY I’VE BEEN FACING ALL MY DEMONS
CLEANING OUT THE SKULLS IN MY CLOSET WITH THE PRIEST
EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY, CUS MY PAIN BURIED DEEPLY
I USE TO LOOK AWAY WHEN I WOULD CATCH MY EYES AT ME
NOW I FORCE A SMILE JUST TO BANDAGE UP THE WEAK END
TRYNA SAVE MY TEARS BUT IT’S BEEN TUGGING AT MY FEET
KNOWING THAT MY SOUL BEGGING FOR SOME MORE RELEASING
CHANGING UP MY WAYS, OLD ME REST IN PEACE
IF YOU DONT KNOW, NOW YOU KNOW ABOUT ME
