[Intro]

Wow, wow

Ayy, wow, wow, wow, yeah

Wow, wow

Wow, wow, wow

Uh

[Verse 1]

Yeah, one hand on the rifle, that shit for survival

The other on the Bible

And everything that I do got a purpose

Even though my life turned into circus, mm

And I'm so close I can taste it, off to the races

I ain't got no neighbors, traded them for acres

Leaving L.A. where they treat me like a Laker

Every time I come 'round talk about a come down

When you get high as this

Get harder to keep your feet on the ground and shit

Dotted line, nah, I ain't tryna sign and shit

I'm just tryna keep what's mine and shit

'Cause when you know what I know

It's survival, one hand on the rifle

I ain't never lie to you, I ain't even try to

The only thing I can't give her is the title

Mm-hmm, uh

[Chorus]

'Cause when you know what I know

You just gotta live by the code

But you gotta live on your toes

When you know what I know

That could turn your friends into foes

Stay ten toes down like my nose

When you know what I know

You can't trust a word out of anybody

Even when they hurt you, they ain't ever sorry

So I stay out the way, 'cause that's how shit go

When you know what I know

[Verse 2]

That shit can leave you in a flash

Two hundred on the dash and I'm speedin' 'til I crash (Going fast)

Mm, so I leave it in the past

Leanin' on the gas, 'cause I needed it fast

Full tank and nobody gon' gas us

They want answers but nobody asked us

They forgot my work so I taxed 'em, just ask 'em

But I flip a bird livin' a head of the curve

And then I hit the curve

I knew I had to mature, I had to do the work

I put my head in the dirt and then I did that shit, yeah, I did that

Got presidential tint on the windows, they ain't seein' through

Feel good knowing I got it, but I'ma keep it too

Had to go missing for a bit, but now it's peek-a-boo

Bitch, yeah

[Chorus]

'Cause when you know what I know

You just gotta live by the code

And you gotta live on your toes

When you know what I know

That can turn your friends into foes

I had to stay ten toes down like my muhfuckin' nose

You can't trust a word out of anybody

Even when they hurt you, they ain't ever sorry

So I stay out the way, 'cause that's how that shit go

When you know what I know (Uh)

When you know what I know (Uh)

[Outro]

Mm-mm, yeah

'Cause when you know what I know

I'm just a-and people take it— they take it as preaching when I'm talking

I'm just tryna— I'm just tryna tell y'all man, I-I've been

I've been behind the curtain

I peeked behind the curtain, it was more than a peek

I-I've been there and lived there, behind the curtain

'Cause when you know what I know

Mm, woah, oh-woah
