I Know

And it's all an illusion
You know this life you're in
This is nothing but a journey, it's the interim
Between heaven and hell, this is the mezzanine
Ain't no promise when you get there if they let you in
And I understand my mortal entity
Only my legacy will last an eternity
Thoughts haunting me
Wondering how they will remember me
Will anybody cry at my eulogy?
I Took care of those that were next to me
Even broke bread with the enemy
Beat the odds with the hand that was dealt to me
Kulu maktoub, yeah I guess it's meant to be
It's not an easy life, I had my fair share of drama
I kept my loyalty, I never snitched mama
Young SHI got the soul of an old timer
Some call it destiny, I call that bitch karma

But I know
Oh I know
You might think I don't
But I know
Oh I know
You might think I don't

Open up your third eye so the puppets will become the master
Rip the strings off, turn ghost like Casper
I keep my eyes open and my feet on the ground
Keep my head above water while they're pulling me down
They speak fantasies, that's what they're trying to sell
Now they're laughing all the way to the Fargo wells
They keep scheming, now I know them far too well
So they miss when they try to hit my mark, oh well
Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee
Because when there's no one left, I watch for me
Stay one step ahead so my eyes can see
And I manage my stress before he calls for me, that's why
You ain't saying nothing new
Hate to break the news to you
But I know
Oh I know
You might think I don't
But I know
Oh I know
You might think I don't
Oh they tell you it will be ok
Now they don't wanna talk, saying we don't play
Never trust them, that's what Guido say
Guess it's all about the chips, like Frito Lay
Yeah they'll tell you it will be ok
Now they don't wanna talk, saying we don't play
Never trust them, that's what Guido say
See it's all about the chips, like Frito Lay
But I know
Oh I know
You might think I don't
But I know
Oh I know
You might think I don't
You ain't saying nothing new
You ain't saying nothing new
