John Legend - DARKNESS AND LIGHT

I Know Better

They say sing what you know
But I've sung what they want
Some folks do what they're told
But baby this time I won't
When I look through that door
I know the truth from lie
Some things I've done before I can't justify

There are kings in my past
Things no one can be proud of
But I stand in the light I've cast
And turn away from any lack of love
Oh, when I walked through that door
I say here I go
You see me and nothing more
I'm singing what I know

I know better
I know better

Legend is just a name
I know better than to be so proud
I won't dream in all this fame
I'll take more love than I'm allowed

I won't hide or cut it off from where it came
My history has brought me to this place
There's power in the color of my face

And I know better
Oh-oh, I know better

Oh, I'll rise from the floor if I don't win
I'll bust open that door so let me in
And if music chooses me to sing I let her
I'll sing what I know, yes

I know better, oh
I know better, yes
I know better
I know better
