(Intro) |
[00:07.42] |
Rock, rock, rock on |
[00:08.49] |
Rock, rock, rock on |
[00:10.53] |
I'm going to tell you the truth whether you like it or not |
[00:13.72] |
Can I prove it? |
[00:14.79] |
Yes |
[00:15.81] |
Why no more days like those? |
[00:19.43] |
(Verse 1: Royce Da 5'9") |
[00:20.49] |
Allow me to put some sense on you ****s |
[00:22.82] |
Too much success, um, here comes your doom |
[00:25.77] |
They told you *************s the sky's the limit |
[00:27.44] |
Then they turn around and tell you that there's footprints on the moon |
[00:30.55] |
You rise to fame and die, so they can say that you barely won |
[00:34.04] |
And they keep your masters, your kids become bastards |
[00:36.62] |
Having to ask executives for their daddy records |
[00:39.07] |
Sounding like Blind Mellow Jelly son |
[00:41.10] |
Look in my eyes, you can tell I'm violent |
[00:43.08] |
I might go diving inside a fine female on the Maldives island |
[00:46.84] |
I vow to never fail my phonics until I'm real iconic |
[00:50.24] |
And you can throw me in a cell, I got it |
[00:52.12] |
I go to jail bout eight, go "oh well" then post bail bout nine-ish |
[00:56.04] |
I treat that ************* like it's a hotel, check in it then check out it |
[00:59.57] |
Then tell my *************s, let the rest doubt it |
[01:01.80] |
These rap *************s bugged out, like divas, they drugged-out thugged-out receivers |
[01:05.97] |
I meet them at their stash place, heat them |
[01:07.94] |
Then tell them, they better drag race the ************* away from me |
[01:09.98] |
Or get their mug shot, like Bieber |
[01:12.00] |
I catch him at the bus stop, while he reading |
[01:14.14] |
This .45 will give him the same hollow Lux got |
[01:17.29] |
I represent, the must haves and whatnots |
[01:19.22] |
*************s that used to cut class, to touch cash and buck shots |
[01:21.98] |
(Chorus: Dwele) |
[01:22.34] |
You should know |
[01:25.14] |
(But you don't really want nothing) |
[01:27.38] |
You should know |
[01:29.66] |
(Talk a bunch of *************t, mother******* stop fronting) |
[01:32.33] |
You should know |
[01:33.80] |
(So what you saying yo? |
[01:35.17] |
Keep playing y'all *************s will burn) |
[01:37.71] |
You should know |
[01:39.82] |
(************* the whole world) |
[01:41.86] |
(Verse 2: Royce Da 5'9") |
[01:42.27] |
Freedom or jail, clips inserted |
[01:43.48] |
A baby's being born, same time a man is murdered |
[01:45.97] |
The beginning and end,you on a block, playing killer with your knife |
[01:49.22] |
Without a gun you're an option, be cut out for the game |
[01:51.34] |
Or they're gon play rock, paper, scissors with your life |
[01:53.58] |
I'm usually more spiritual at night |
[01:55.46] |
Cause murder's in the air, more like a Pippen Nike |
[01:57.84] |
Whipping white, the white American kryptonite |
[02:00.39] |
Living a scripted life, a different kick, a different type |
[02:03.28] |
Whoever fixing chicken rice, I'll spend the night |
[02:05.67] |
In the morning go home to my wife, before she try and sell my *************t |
[02:08.98] |
Ninety nine percent sure, that she gon' try and smell my ************* |
[02:11.43] |
Thirsty *************s is praying to hell I slip |
[02:13.52] |
The baddest *******, the last ******* you would've ever imagined |
[02:16.26] |
Would've had chlamydia, getting dragged to cities |
[02:18.96] |
City after city, *************s paying cash for the love of ass and ******* |
[02:24.32] |
(Chorus: Dwele) |
[02:24.72] |
You should know |
[02:27.41] |
(But you don't really want nothing) |
[02:29.64] |
You should know |
[02:31.68] |
(Talk a bunch of *************t, mother******* stop fronting) |
[02:34.77] |
You should know |
[02:35.94] |
(So what you saying yo? |
[02:37.36] |
Keep playing y'all *************s will burn) |
[02:40.16] |
You should know |
[02:41.37] |
(************* the whole world) |
[02:43.08] |
(Verse 3: Royce Da 5'9") |
[02:43.59] |
(Pick it up) |
[02:44.50] |
I don't know why y'all so highly regarded |
[02:46.18] |
You rhyme like you're borderline mildly retarded |
[02:48.40] |
I show you what my father done started |
[02:50.54] |
I rhyme on a god level, the godliest artist |
[02:52.22] |
Y'all follow artists who target their audience |
[02:54.69] |
But not me, I target the artist, follow the target |
[02:56.99] |
Holding a strap, pointing it at sinners |
[02:59.01] |
And that's when I tell them like Kobe to Shaq, "You lazy and I'm tired of your jogging" |
[03:02.84] |
Shoot at their feet 'til the dance start,I'm going H.A.M. in the slaughterhouse |
[03:06.70] |
************* you and your damn charts, and your crowd participation |
[03:09.70] |
I'm putting a land mine under your stage, had his place raining fan parts |
[03:12.96] |
And called that *************t crowd precipitation |
[03:15.49] |
I'm more premier, than my own DJ and Pac's brother |
[03:17.47] |
I came out of my momma's womb, with a box cutter |
[03:20.37] |
Lyrical spitting image, that mirrors the birth of Slim |
[03:22.95] |
None of these rappers can work with me, I work with them |
[03:26.26] |
(Chorus: Dwele) |
[03:26.57] |
You should know |
[03:28.70] |
(But you don't really want nothing) |
[03:31.52] |
You should know |
[03:33.81] |
(Talk a bunch of *************t, mother******* stop fronting) |
[03:36.54] |
You should know |
[03:37.96] |
(So what you saying yo? |
[03:39.23] |
Keep playing y'all *************s will burn) |
[03:41.86] |
You should know |
[03:44.41] |
(************* the whole world) |
[03:46.21] |
(Outro) |
[03:46.66] |
Prhyme! |
[03:48.03] |
On the vocals |
[03:50.72] |
You have Detroit's own Dwele |
[03:55.66] |
Providing the instruments |
[03:58.61] |
We have |
[03:59.94] |
The incomparable Adrian Younge |
[04:03.44] |
And on the wheels of steel |
[04:06.09] |
DJ Premier |
[04:07.46] |
Yeah |
[04:09.45] |
(I say, and I'll say it again |
[04:13.31] |
I'm not the kind of person who come here to say what you like) |
[04:18.21] |
I'm going to tell you the truth whether you like it or not |
[04:21.57] |
Can I prove it? |
[04:22.65] |
Yes |
[04:24.35] |
Why no more days like those? |
[04:28.27] |
You should know~~ |
