Know Yourself

[Verse 1]
Came with the fire, no split, blatantly higher
Lazy, they're blatantly liars
Man should call me a devilish reverend
Cause I always spit the flames that inspire
And you can have all the best quotes in the world
But it might not gain you a buyer
So I'll contradict myself and spit the cold flows
Make you put chains in your tyres
But either way, when it comes down to the crunch
I wanna see my name on a flyer
Bare tours and awards but I ain't got time to floss
Won't see a change in attire
I'm still the same me, but dem man are way over-gassed
They need to change their supplier
And I heard some man turned bad overnight
I'm like "they've been taping The Wire"
But hear what, dem man should change and aspire
But, if not, then today they retire
Don't let me send them screaming away
Bare high notes like their name was Mariah
I ain't talking about man like Kieron
When I say that a situation's dire, but
Too many MCs duplicate words
Like say they work for the newspaper supplier but
Be yourself, do your own ting
Don't try copying Jake or Uriah
If you imitate what you've seen on the TV
Trust me, sheep is the name you require
I stay grounded but I get a likkle bit gassed sometimes
On the days when I fly up
But it's normal, still the same me
I'll still be the same when the fame is acquired

[Hook]
Yo, who did you think I am?
Who did you think this was?
You lost your mind, I wasn't ever one of them dons
And we don't like to tek loss so you better tek time
You better know yourself
Brudda, control yourself and try to act wise
Couldn't ever hold man down
Couldn't ever tolerate that so you better tek time

[Verse 2]
Um, hear what I'm saying
Man are going in this year's what I'm saying
If a man's sitting in a seat that I want
Then he's getting dashed out of the chair's what I'm saying
So hear what I'm saying, I'm only saying it once
So I've gotta make clear what I'm saying
Last year, nobody didn't wanna know
Till I run up on the set like yeah, what you saying?
What you saying? What you saying? Man's here, what you saying?
Worst than your worst nightmare's what I'm saying
Last year, a lot of them tried talk the talk
But they never done shit, I can't hear what you're saying
So blud, what'd you mean, what am I saying?
Man can't ask man what am I saying
I done the groundwork so get down, spin around first
Before I come through and start spraying like
Yo, blud you heard what I said
You better make sure you heard what I said
When I spit wisdom on verse, I ain't wasting a word
So go home and learn what I said
Study that, take in and rehearse what I said
This year, I'm here to murk's what I said
Cuh when I'm on set, these MCs get vexed
Cuh when I'm around, nobody heard what they said
So wait, I know you heard what I said
You better make sure you heard what I said
When I spit wisdom on verse, I ain't wasting a word
So go home and learn what I said
Study that, take in and rehearse what I said
This year, I'm here to murk's what I said
When I'm on set, these MCs get vexed
Cuh when I'm around, nobody heard what they said so

[Hook]
Yo, who did you think I am?
Who did you think this was?
You lost your mind, I wasn't ever one of them dons
And we don't like to tek loss so you better tek time
You better know yourself
Brudda, control yourself and try to act wise
Couldn't ever hold man down
Couldn't ever tolerate that so you better tek time

[Hook]
Yo, who did you think I am?
Who did you think this was?
You lost your mind, I wasn't ever one of them dons
And we don't like to tek loss so you better tek time
You better know yourself
Brudda, control yourself and try to act wise
Couldn't ever hold man down
Couldn't ever tolerate that so you better tek time
