How Would They Know

Everybodys got
Goals
Endeavors
Plans
They wanna do with their life
You stick to that plan
It might be delayed
But it'll never be denied
You remember that
And hear what I gotta say
J Sho

How would they know
About the
O-N-E-N-O-N-L-Y
S-H-O-R-E-S-H-O-T
From the O-Side
How would they know
Who's about to
Leave a large impact
In the league
See son sit back
This degree that
I gotta rip at is
Powerful so
You cant parry this blow
Only hope to contain it
I'll throw and try to explain it but
How would they know
That I never left
That Im on a quest for more
How I got them all guessing or
How I keep work kept in store
How would they know
My pops left me at the age of four
Moms had to raise three boys on her own
It made me wanna break his jaw
How would they know
That her heart is what she later on
Gave to the Lord
That alone brought a change in us all
Normally a fam takes a fall
After divorces
But God got us through that
He filled in a huge gap
In our lives and we all knew that but

How would they know
What I found was my purpose
And nothing but truth
Shall be found in my work
Thats just part of my person
Thats how it'll be see so
How would they know
Whats becoming of me
How would they know
Whose route is for sho
Im piecing the puzzle but
How would they know I said

How would they know
That I don't come from a rich fam
But just from having them yea
I still feel like Im a rich man
How would they know
That I'll always do anything for them
All they gotta do is let me know
Who and what where and when
How would they know
That I stay grateful for the
Gifts I've been given
Thats how I stay committed to my vision
Never quitting never giving in thinking
How would they know
To drive a dip V
Doesn't make a diff II me
Not compared II making
History or tasting victory
How would they know
That my characters strong
And I wont lie unlike
Most of these characters on
How would they know
That my purpose was found
And they're gonna hear it
In all of my work
That's put down
How would they know
All the time and energy
It took to get me here
Each and everyday
Each and every week
Each and every month
Each and every year
How would they know
All the rough roads
That I gotta take on
But I let rhymers stay warned
That my flows drop like Napalm
How would they know
That without me coming
Bringing this forth
You never couldve taken
This walk and learned bridges
This kid crossed now

How would they know
What I found was my purpose
And nothing but truth
Shall be found in my work
Thats just part of my person
Thats how it'll be see so
How would they know
Whats becoming of me
How would they know
Whose route is for sho
I'm piecing the puzzle but
How would they know I said
How would they know
Whose route is for sho
I'm piecing the puzzle but
How would they know

How would they know
That I hate my job
But need the dough
Ill raise my bars
To reach my goals
And beat the odds
To treat the globe
How would they know
That everybody's gonna see me
Sometime soon
Plan on that
I stand in back
Of words I rap
And brand that fact
How would they know
That my brother from another mother
Gave me this bang from Flip
So I thank him for the instro
How would they know
That it's gonna take
Patience, payments, pages, changes
Ways through mazes
Traits of greatness
How would they know
When your time's tied up like laces
And right's all you wanna make this
Stages feel like ages
But doubt is for those
Who lose faith in theirselves
And they stay where they fell
Letting their days become hell
And that's
Lousy and low
Don't get sour and fold
Come up out of that hole
Cuz I've been there for sho
How would they know
This son will not dip or drift
From his path
Everything he saw
He can be shore
He shall sea come II pass
How would they know
This son will not dip or drift
From his path
Everything he saw
He can be shore
He shall sea come II pass
How would they know
How would they know
