[Chorus]

You know, you know

You know, you know


[Verse 1]

Uh, you know you know how the story goes

You done jocked my style, you done stole my flow

You done seen me out, you gets no hello

And you wonder why? Man you know you know

Yeah and you should let them boys know too

Show them niggas every single thing I showed you

I'm here feeling like 50 back in ’02

And everybody sayin' I'm the man, so true

Yeah but what does it take to feel secure?

A place with wooden floors and space to put awards

A couple of parking spots and maids to do the chores

The cars you always wanted, the women that you adore

Well I got it, I got it

I wonder if I'd be happy without it, I doubt it

I try not to really think about it

I made it but I'm still playin' like I'm bein' scouted 'til I'm out it

Game time bitch, I hope you're proud of us

King James shit watch me throw the powder up

This OG got my whole suite cloudin' up

And I bet you I be out of time before I'm out of luck


[Pre-Chorus]

They ain't rootin' for me, they ain't clappin' for me

I'm only sayin can somebody just be happy for me

I really hate to say I told you so

So I bite my tongue but you know you know


[Chorus]

You know, you know

You know, you know

You know, you know

You know, you know

You know, you know


[Verse 2]

Uhh, please make your long story shorter

'Cause time is of the essence for the king of first quarter

Numbers do the talkin' I have nothing for reporters

I just hope we make these flights and don’t get held up at the border

Yeah, so you can spare me all the accolades

I'm the reason you can find my city on an atlas page

Half a million dollars later and my taxes paid

And I'm still spendin' money from my actin' days

Damn, life is such a lovely thing

Feel the perks that a seven-figure budget bring

Tell your girlfriend that I can pull some fuckin' strings

So we're courtside when LeBron get a fuckin' ring

Yeah, I bet I be there I be there

You see that ’62 sittin outside? That's me there

I'm jumpin to the top its my leap year, prepare

Putting in that overtime I never said it'd be fair

I'm always left wishin' I could have done it in person

My apologies to all of the ones I was hurtin'

I got new girls but none of they love is for certain

And call old girls but none of they numbers are workin'

Damn, what happened to us?

Life can always change, you have to adjust

How come when I got a party you stare at me in disgust?

They pay us just to have fun you should see that as a plus

Especially when I come flyin' through the door

And kindly ignore, the paparazzi outside tryin' to record

Why has every woman never dined here before?

Am I the only 23 year old wine connoisseur?

The Rothschilds, the Crus, the Gajas and the Opuses

It's always nice when you're out with someone that notices

My condo got that art gallery openness

I'm just really hopin' that that isn’t what your motive is


[Pre-Chorus]

They ain't rootin' for me, they ain't clappin' for me

I'm only sayin' can somebody just be happy for me?

I really hate to say I told you so

So I bite my tongue but you know you know


[Chorus]

You know, you know

You know, you know

You know, you know

You know, you know

You know, you know

You know, you know
