Anyone Who Knew

BLAQKNOIZ
Day One on the beat, yo

Anyone who knew me as a child
Always had the need to run away
Find a faker if you ever find a picture of my smile
Show you all the thoughts I have in a day
DayLee Thoughts, yeah

Anyone who knew me as a child
Let my parents lose me in the wild
Don't be confused by the style
Please amuse me a while, take my shoes for a mile
Anyone who knew me as a child
Hid the abuse with denial
Soothe with a noose or aloof through the use
Son of Zeus tryna shoot down a true pedophile
Anyone who knew me as a child
And you know fucking who!
Should line up single-file
And tell the cops the ugly truth!
Y'all had the Christian Guile
To turn the other cheek on me
Motives probably vile
While your brother's acting evilly

Mabie, Mabie
Maybe I been going crazy
(Someone save me)
Feel my vision hazy
Where I'm going lately?
This shit wavy and I cannot swim
And it's sink or swim,
I need this win like I need a check
To deposit in my bank account,
I hope I make it out
Placate all my doubt, but I'm down
I mean, I bent the knee
Surrendered my crown and I need that back
Because I am racking my brain
Panic attack so I'm napping again
Cannot believe this has happened again
I'm stressing, but learning my lessons, I'm guessing

Know I ain't worth not a dime of your dollar
Know I'm too ugly for my type to holler
Notice won't slow me, it's my time to collar!
Rope that I'm talking, call if you're bothered
Harvard I'm walking if I weren't so awkward
Rock it like Gucci, "I might be, your honor"
Spiking the tea then I Arnold the Palmer
Avatar seems like it might be a monster
See a man shoot to the top
After like thirty-two failures he dropped
You don't know youth 'til you choose it to stop
Loose of the booze and they call me the thot
Wrath of the truth as I crash through the spot
Back with my blues we infusing with pop
You don't know Jack 'til you know his past
Gotta get past that he rude when he jot

Nah, nah, nah, nah
Studious natured
I'm moving with patience
I'm schooling myself to the fakers
So no fooling me later
New to the new school of creators
I'm a sleuth, I'm surveying
To see if I can hit it different
Got a vision, it's hidden
It's hit or miss if I'mma get it but I'mma get it
Promise I'mma birth this dream
Sure as yo mama did it to you!
Paid homage, now paying dues
My God, my writtens crucial
To new dudes my verses brutal
I'm waving at 'em like
"Yoo-Hoo! I'm here!"

Anyone who knew me as a child
Always had the need to run away
Find a faker if you ever find a picture of my smile
Show you all the thoughts I have in a day
DayLee Thoughts, yeah
Anyone who knew me as a child
Always had the need to run away
Find a faker if you ever find a picture of my smile
All the thoughts that I have in a day

Please baby do not test me
I'm tryna be the best me
Yeah
In the kitchen working on this recipe
Cooking up the rest of me
Don't know what's ahead of me
Yeah
But I know I cannot let 'em get to me
Baby do not test me
I'm tryna be the best me
Yeah
In the kitchen working on this recipe
Cooking up the rest of me
Don't know what's ahead of me
Yeah
Don't know what's ahead of me
Yeah
Anyone who knew me as a child
Don't know what's ahead of me
Yeah
Always had a need to run away
Don't know what's ahead of me
Ahead of me
Anyone who knew me as a child, doesn't know me now
But I cannot let 'em get to me
Get to me
All the thoughts I have in a day
