what i know

(album: the highs. - 2021)

(Whoa whoa)
Aye
(Whoa whoa whoa)
Yeah
(Whoa whoa)
(Whoa whoa whoa)
Yeah

One hand on the rifle
That shit for survival
The other on the Bible
And everything that I do got a purpose
Even though my life turned into circus

And I'm so close I can taste it
Off to the races
I ain't got no neighbors
Traded 'em for acres
Leaving LA, but they treat me like a Laker
Every time I come 'round, talk about a come down

When you get high as this
Get harder to keep feet on the ground and shit
Dotted line nah I ain't tryna sign and shit
I'm just tryna keep what's mine and shit

'Cause when you know what I know
It's survival, one hand on the rifle
I ain't never lie to you, I ain't even try to
The only thing I can't give her is a title
Mhmm

'Cause when you know what I know
You just gotta live by the code
But you gotta live on your toes

When you know what I know
That could turn your friends into foes
Stay ten toes down like my nose

When you know what I know
You can't trust a word out of anybody
Even when they hurt you they ain't ever sorry

So I stay out the way
'Cause that's how shit go
When you know what I know

That shit can leave you in a flash
Two hundred on the dash
And I'm speeding 'til I crash (going fast)
So I leave it in the past
Leaning on the gas
'Cause I needed it fast
Full tank, and nobody gon' gas us
They want answers, but nobody asked us
They forgot my worth so I taxed 'em
Just ask 'em

But I
Flip a bird
Living ahead of the curve
And then I hit the curb, I knew I had to mature
I had to do the work, I put my head in the dirt
And then I did that shit, yeah I did that

Got presidential tint on the windows
They ain't seeing through
Feel good knowing I got it
But I'ma keep it too
Had to go missing for a bit
But now it's peek-a-boo
Bitch, yeah

'Cause when you know what I know
You just gotta live by the code
And you gotta live on your toes

When you know what I know
That could turn friends into foes
I had to stay ten toes down like my motherfucking nose

You can't trust a word out of anybody
Even when they hurt you they ain't ever sorry
So I stay out the way, 'cause that's how shit go
When you know what I know
When you know what I know
Mhmm
Yeah

'Cause when you know what I know
I'm just a-and people take it they take it as preaching when I'm talking
I'm just tryna, I'm just tryna tell y'all I've been
I've been behind the curtain
I peeked behind the curtain
It was more than a peek
I've been there and lived behind the curtain
'Cause when you know what I know
(Mhmmm whoa whoa whoa)
