[intro]
[1st Verse:El Prez]
If you want to be the Dude, then follow the rules
Cause if you make the wrong move you'll be right on the news
And if you want to get a crew, make sure they're the truth
Because if you hang around with fakes you'll end up in a noose
But if you keep your circle tight like a virgin for life
We'll all be eating off that plate like collections for Christ
If you're 'finna roll the dice make sure it's precise
Cause in this game ain't no ties son, this ain't Mike
But if you politic, connect, with the men of respect
And if you play your cards right, then you'll be cashing them checks
If you're crashing with a chick man I hope she's the shit
Cause if you ever call it quits know the Feds don't miss
If you're on that, know that, and if not grab a Kodak
And picture the format that I'm laying on your doormat
If you see the X on the map, that's where the dough's at
You weak niggas living off rap, we taking all that
[Hook: El Prez]
If you didn't know, now you know
If you didn't know, now you know
If you didn't know now you know
Now you know
(Yeah) now you know
[2nd Verse: El Prez]
If you ain't knowing, this a heist
And we want more than the gold and the ice
If you sick of that weak shit let me know (let me know)
If you sick on that week shit, you a Ho
If you trick for that treat, bitch, you a Pro
If you fuck with the Prez then she's like Marilyn Monroe
If she give good head, then I guess she's like Lewinsky
And if she don't want a man, we could fuck on the friendly
If you didn't know the time, get a watch
If you ain't knowing, ain't no Love in Hip Hop
If your reality's distorted, ignore it
So listen up close cause this is more than a recording
Wit Jansport on the beat, he got that Dope, nigga
And you ain't fuckin wit Prez cause I'm a cold nigga
I'm like 20 below in Polo, nigga
And BIG told y'all hoes in '94, ifya
[Hook: El Prez]
If you didn't know, now you know
If you didn't know, now you know
If you didn't know now you know
Now you know
(Yeah) now you know
