They Know

Everybody's tryna catch a wave, But they ain't gettin' paid
And they know, they know, That the shit isn't as simple as they make
All their homies fake, But I know, I know
That it's hard to do some shit, If your mind ain't really in it

Watch how people always talk, But they don't ever listen
Watch how people quick to judge, I ain't talkin' auditions
I've been slidin' on these beats, Can you feel the friction
And I've been smokin' too much weed, It's cloudin' up my vision

Wake up every day, Repeat the same thing, It's tradition
Haters on my ass, They always questioning my discipline, yeah
But they know, they know, That it's all in their head
Work ethic unmatched, I swear that you can't even fuck with me
And that's just a fact
They used to play me like a fiddle
With no strings attached
But now I pull up to the stu
And then hop right on the track
And they know, they know, But they don't wanna talk about it

Yeah they know, But it's difficult to walk around it
Sold your soul for a chance to climb the highest mountain
But then you fell into the ocean, And now you drowning

And they know, they know, they know
Yeah they know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
But they can't stop watching

I got no time for the bullshit, I gotta master the craft
They always tell me my hooks hit, That's cause I been in my bag
Soon I'll fill up whole arenas, They'll be packed to the max
And they gon' hear the speakers knock from the front to the back
I keep my foot on the gas, And I leave my past in the past

If anyone tryna son me, Then I'ma pass 'em like Nash
I've been buzzin' like the hornets, CP3 in the draft
While you've been bitchin' bout what bugs you, I ain't phased by the gnats

But everybody's tryna catch a wave
And they ain't gettin' paid
Yeah they know, they know
That this shit isn't as simple as they make
All their homies fake
But I know, I know
That you gotta give this everything it takes
And it's hard, but it's a choice you gotta make
And I made the choice that I'ma be a great
A long time ago

Fuck a great, I'ma be a legend
Knew this shit was destined from the get-go
Underrated, Eric Bledsoe
Swimming through the water, ain't no breaststroke
I've been getting buckets, yeah, I got the best stroke
I thought that was something I should let you know
They question my perfection, Do we (Dewey) need it to the decimal
Damn, it feels incredible
To get this off my chest
Because before it felt like me and all my pain were so inseparable

(Yeah)
Sometimes you gotta take the people closest, let them go
Can't be the only person working, gotta let them know
That if you haven't found your purpose, you should jot your goals
I suggest you follow rainbows 'till you find your pot of gold

But what's next if you still can't find it
You gotta keep on running until you open your eyelids
When all the problems start to pile up, it gets you riled up
Smoking all this weed, but you still feel like you ain't high enough

And they know, they know, they know
Yeah, they know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
But they can't stop watching

And they know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
But they can't stop watching
