Know Me

They think they know me, think they know me... what? (What?)
They think they own me, think they own me
...but nah, homie, that's the old me
They think they know me (Yeah)

Thinking they know me, so they watch closely
Face in my business, it can get nosey
Flocking all around like ring around the rosey
Thinkin' my pockets full of posey
Not how I ride, focused on the trophy
There is no interest or time to impress
I finesse as I work my way to success
Say less, do more
I never drop the ball so I'm on the way to score
Lightning striking, that's a touchdown
I'll be laughing by the end
You a bunch of clowns
Like when all teachers said
"No cap and gown."
Well, bitch, look at me now, like Chris Brown
Feeling all the, "Ooo ahhs," and, "Oh wows."
You can bet that ass I'm keeping my vows
Now take a bow

They think they know me, think they know me... what? (What?)
They think they own me, think they own me?
...but nah, homie, that's the old me
They think they know me, think they--

They think they can fit me into a neat and tidy box
Keep tryin' to force me in
But I'm breakin' out
Yeah, (Yeah!) my head's above the clouds
Higher perspective
Enlightened perception
Uh, (Yeah, yeah, yeah) nothing's gonna stop me now. (No no no!)
Team on my side, no fake ones. (No fake ones!)
I need the praise, so pay up. (So pay)
So pay up. (So pay)

Selfish little prick. Damn, who the fuck raised you?
Don't wanna wear a mask? (*loud gasp*) Blaming CO2
Global pandemic and you want free reign
Saying, "I don't like the feeling of the fabric on my face."
Karen, shut up - for real - it's not about you
Tryna help the vulnerable, but y'all can't see through
The view where you see it as a freedom being lost
Elephant or an ass, getting played all the same - call it Chromecast
Drake said, "What a time to be alive
You and yours vs. me and mine."
In reality, we're all on the same side
Head honcho's drawing the boundary lines
Every day, it's another stolen life
Nauseated every time somebody dies
Got light-skin? Then expect swift justice
Otherwise you better brace yourself for excuses. (Wooo!)
Inequality divides us. Mental health plagues us
Suicide rates up, trying to escape the
Scavenger system, living on bread crumbs
Closer to a street bum. We are all victims
So I gotta stay active and keep spittin' ideas
Maybe one of them will grow into a tree
I'm out here planting the seeds to rewrite the American Dream

Yeah, they think they know me, think they know me... what? (What?)
They think they own me, think they own me?
Hahaha... but nah, homie, that's the old me
Heh... they think they know me, think they

They think they can fit me into a neat and tidy box
Keep tryin' to force me in
But I'm breakin' out
Yeah, (Yeah!) my head's above the clouds
Higher perspective
Enlightened perception
Uh, (Yeah, yeah, yeah) nothing's gonna stop me now. (No no no!)
Team on my side, no fake ones. (No fake ones!)
I need the praise, so pay up. (So pay)
So pay up. (So pay)
(Whoo! Hahaha...)

They think they can fit me into a neat and tidy box
Keep tryin' to force me in
But I'm breakin' out
Yeah, (Yeah!) my head's above the clouds
Higher perspective
Enlightened perception
Uh, (Yeah, yeah, yeah) nothing's gonna stop me now. (No no no!)
Team on my side, no fake ones. (No fake ones!)
I need the praise, so pay up. (So pay)
So pay up. (So pay)
