Know Your Worth - Intellectual

[Intro]

Know your worth

Know your worth, dog

Know your worth

Know your worth, dog

[Verse 1]

Man, I love myself and my fam (and my friends too)

Friends are also fam they help make me who I am

Damn, do I gotta run it back again? (I don't know bruh)

You may comprehend but you do not understand

And I been overlooked and underrated

Overdue's an understatement

Over you, cuz I been underestimated

Made it out, made it without a route

Made it without of fitting in, made it out of doubt, fuck clout

Now when life gives you grapes make wine (resourceful)

Cuz I may waste bread but I never waste time I'm

Focused on my wealth and the grind (and the grind)

Cuz a plant can't grow if it doesn't get shine, I

Remember when I used to live on social media

Eating up, what ya newsfeed is feeding is ya

Tedium, losing sleep looking at their lives

Comparing it to mine, thinking that I was behind, why?

[Chorus]

Know your worth, cut off all your loose ends

Know your worth, the value of your true friends

Know your worth, gotta stop excuses

Do more say less, and avoid loose lips, nigga

Know your worth, cut off all your loose ends

Know your worth, the value of your true friends

Know your worth, gotta stop excuses

Be honest with yourself you know what the truth is

[Verse 2]

Everybody wanna be the same (yea, yea, yea)

But what's a house nigga to a slave? (talk about it nigga)

That looks like a noose not a chain, so who are we to blame

When the kids wanna hang? (fuck, fuck, shit)

Man, I got a baby girl and shit

Sometimes when I look at seed I think about her nourishment

The social influence theory, to make sure that she's flourishing

Free thinking I encourage it

Try my best to make sure it sticks, sticks, sticks, sticks

I remember when I was a kid

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was the shit

Was a hit, I was fuckin' lit

Brother and my cousins so this should be fun

But it wasn't, I was fussing, cuz I couldn't be one

Too much kids wanna play what a riddle, I was little

So I planned to runaway to really be a ninja turtle

It'll be ok, step out of your shell that's a winner

Get up, show em that your bigger

School em all like Master Splinter, nigga

[Chorus]

Know your worth, cut off all your loose ends

Know your worth, the value of your true friends

Know your worth, gotta stop excuses

Do more say less, and avoid loose lips, nigga

Know your worth, cut off all your loose ends

Know your worth, the value of your true friends

Know your worth, gotta stop excuses

Be honest with yourself you know what the truth is

[Verse 3]

Made a promise to myself If I fall I get up

I never be a shoulda, coulda, woulda type nigga

Life bitter, I figure, nice with a, mic and I'm

Going in with a pen, never waste my life litter (uh)

Talking to myself like fuck distractions and procrastination

Sitting on my ass since graduation but got aspirations

I have to make it, it's too late for later

If I can't save myself then who saves the savior? (I don't know)

Then the other side of me is so picky and literal

Liberally, pick myself apart by being critical

Subliminals and feeling low

Someone I can't recognize, in the mirror that's when I

Started tearing and then I

Made a promise to myself If I fall I get up

I never be a shoulda, coulda, woulda type nigga

Made a promise to myself If I fall I get up

I never be a shoulda, coulda, woulda type nigga

[Chorus]

Know your worth, cut off all your loose ends

Know your worth, the value of your true friends

Know your worth, gotta stop excuses

Do more say less, and avoid loose lips, nigga

Know your worth, cut off all your loose ends

Know your worth, the value of your true friends

Know your worth, gotta stop excuses

Be honest with yourself you know what the truth is

[Outro]

Know your worth

Know your worth, dog

Know your worth

Know your worth, dog
