Know Me

(专辑： I Know What You're Thinking... - 2021)

[Futuristic:]
They don't know the things I did to get to here
Crystal ball was always cloudy never crystal clear
What everybody do in life, I do that in a year
But sometimes, I wanna cop a jet and then just disappear
They don't see me when I'm walking right back to the place I was sitting in doubt
Finger on the trigger, that metal to settle the problem? I had that shit right in my mouth
They ain't see fights with the lady, she driving me crazy, she hate me, I'm kicking her out
They ain't see when the police had me cuffed and arrested and beat up outside of my house
They ain't never lose 500 thou', they ain't never help anyone out
Just to get shit on in the end, chewed up like gristle and spitted back out
Rocked up a family I'm holding it down, supposed to make everyone happy and proud
I can't even be sad, 'cause look what I have, that made me look like a coward
They don't know that I'm struggling too, they don't know what I'm hustling through
They ain't never lived how I did, with a knife on me when I'm coming to school
Always knew I had something to prove, always knew that I wasn't gone lose
But maybe I'm losing myself in the process addicted to making this money in moves
Yeah, how you cope and carry hella burdens, still be serving everybody else and they think that you perfect?
They always treat me like a figure and never a person
Sometimes I gotta ask myself, is it really worth it?

[Michael Minelli:]
They think that they know me
I ain't let them 'round to get close enough
Really they be thinking I'm the old me
They the first to fold when times get rough, then they come back crawling
They making requests that always come with stipulations
Where were you when I was cooking up in the basement
Hold up, be quiet why they trying to bring back the old me
Don't let them close, still they thinking that they all know me

Tell the truth
No matter what I say they won't listen
So really tell me now what's the use
Start a war to eventually making a truce
Turn your back and went spitting and get my point of view
Yeah I know this exactly why I'd rather go and take the high road
They ain't seen nothing like this before, like they eyes closed
Greatest that you never heard of, put that on the bible
Focus on survival

But they think that they know me
I ain't let them 'round to get close enough
Really they be thinking I'm the old me
They the first to fold when times get rough, then they come back crawling
They making requests that always come with stipulations
Where were you when I was cooking up in the basement
Hold up, be quiet why they trying to bring back the old me
Don't let them close, still they thinking that they all know me
