Now You Know

[Chorus: Dr Koul & scratches by Dj Tiny Tim]
Don’t act like you don’t know if you know
Don’t act like you know if you don’t know
Don’t act like you don’t know if you know
Don’t act like you know if you don’t
Don’t act like you don’t know if you know
Don’t act like you know if you really don’t
Don’t act like you don’t know if you know
Don’t act like you know if you don’t (Now you know)
Don’t know

[Verse 1: Dr Koul]
Socrates said that he knew that he knew nothing
But I’ll even question that as I rap my assumptions
Indeed, so few certainties that I’m even uncertain of my own uncertainty
And lord knows I’m no Socrates – and when we say “Lord knows”
We’re admitting we sure don’t, and instead of giving up
We trust in something beyond us and our insecurities and still have hope
We’re living in a system wired by a mechanistic scientism
On the basis of acquiring materialistic tokens and creating hierarchies
Validated by our outlook on lightwaves and particles, but I reject it
There may be so much more to this world and we can’t detect it
Decolonize and harmonize the dialectic, fighting for open-mindedness
Finding my life’s lessons, until death... and then what lies waiting?

[Verse 2: Imagine]
From a superficial handshake to a rushed goodbye that can’t wait
If we’ve known each other forever then
Why do you choose to look the other way?
Why do we care so much what others say?
And while we can’t do nothing about this
It is only ourselves we’re doubting. Look at us
Trying to do too much just for appreciation
Mental alleviation, bunch of fake moments with no abbreviation
Why do you talk so much if you don’t know shit?
Is it some kind of way to keep avoiding all that you're scared to face
And so you wear a mask because you can’t bear the hate
Why do you care so much what others say?
Look deep inside there is another way

[Evita Koné: Verse 3]
Got nothing to prove to nobody
We’re all part of a ruse, we’re just probably going
Through so many costumes, nobody’s here living
Like we know all the rules, it's all a drawing
But I don’t have it all sketched out
No drafts but the task is to take the mask off
Come on and air it out, if you don’t have it figured out
The picture’s getting bigger now

[Bridge: Evita Koné]
We would rather our worries stay underground, because
What we’re looking for will not be in the lost and found

[Chorus: Dr Koul & scratches by Dj Tiny Tim]
Don’t act like you don’t know if you know
Don’t act like you know if you don’t know
Don’t act like you don’t know if you know
Don’t act like you know if you don’t (Now you know!)
Don’t act like you don’t know if you know
Don’t act like you know if you really don’t
Don’t act like you don’t know if you know
Don’t act like you know if you don’t (Now you know!)
Don’t know

[Outro: Evita Koné]
We would rather our worries stay underground
What we’re looking for will not be in the lost and found
We would rather our worries stay underground
What we’re looking for will not be in the lost and found
