Know It's Working Lyrics

Know what you wanna be

You may no you may not see it working

But notice that it's working

Know it's working

Know what you wanna be

You may no you may not see it working

But notice that it's working

Know it's working

Oreo and i know I'm hated

Black boy yet emancipated

I just started and already hate it

When they whining that the old me has faded

I'm still here i just had to grow

You ain't gotta like it but gotta know

Lost soul with a closed mind

Looking for success that they could never find

Flow is dope when I'm modest

My tongue is an orthodontist

They hate when I write them sonnets

They want me speaking ebonics but

Desisions here are executive

If i lived for you then i would never live

And I would never strive then I'm stuck with you

Who don't know what to do waisting both our lives

They don't know me dressing like the newsies looking like an oldie

There are people claiming that I'm phoney

So my momma told me

Know your purpose

Dig more than the surface

What you got, you earned it

Know you're worth it

Fight through all the hurting

When you move it's working

They don't know me dressing like the newsies looking like an oldie

There are people claiming that I'm phoney

And my father told me

Know your purpose

Dig more than the surface

What you got, you earned it

Know you're worth it

Fight through all the hurting

When you move it's working

Know what you wanna be

You may no you may not see it working

But notice that it's working

Know it's working

Know what you wanna be

You may no you may not see it working

But notice that it's working

Know it's working

Best engine that ever could

Ladies wanna piece of me I hope I'm good

From the quiet girls that's miss understood

To the ghetto girls coming from the hood

And they know what's up

Screaming so loud when we showing up

Infatuated that they know it's us

Graduated steady going up

While I'm going down on the beat

Just a dork spitting heat

I don't have a gang or a mob just a fleet

CulDeSac is who we be

If you thought we were only rappers there is more you don't see

But understand, best believe

I have the biggest of the dreams

And hardest working of the minds and hands

Ideas piling like it's contraband

Looking at me like I'm comic sans

The kid is weird and he's unprofessional

But accessible and expressible

And over all down right incredible

Therefore he acceptable 'member that

The kid is too flakey never that

All the pretty girls hate me never that

Tried to put me through hell and I'm coming back

Even harder

Coming back even stronger

Never will departure

Save it all don't try to barter

Better luck next time

Morals, never try to test mine

Told em yeah these glasses are prescripted but I see the world through the best eyes

I don't always win, i admitted a loss if i did but it ain't done till it's done

Did what I want, wasn't worried about fitting in, that was apart of the fun

They wanted tips, on how to get back in the lead but i had already won

Just know the goal and take more than whatever you need, that's just apart of the run

So I stride for the best

Never less

Bump the stress

Time to flex

There was a time i...

Was in last

Now I'm next

Started rapping

Look what happened

Now it's just the...

Best time

To be alive

You can watch me

As I thrive

In the flesh

Best advice

Will save your life

Keep the knowledge and the power leave the rest

Now they knowing where we going

Who I'm with, how I'm flowing

Think that it's funny that

I be climbing, they be whining

Fix your face, why you crying

Is it a symptom of

Ignorance, arrogance

Envious pettiness

Maybe considered to

Stop the hate, Appreciate

All the things, that are great

That you're indulging in

Walk tall, dream big, act more

You think that you done better pack more

Chase your dreams like they stole your wallet

And buy the things that they ask for

Procrastinating due to awkward pacing

So they started grazing over thoughts about it

I'll do it later then you start to doubt it

Preying that i lose my balance but

They don't know me dressing like the newsies looking like an oldie

There are people claiming that I'm phoney

So my momma told me

Know your purpose

Dig more than the surface

What you got, you earned it

Know you're worth it

Fight through all the hurting

When you move it's working

They don't know me dressing like the newsies looking like an oldie

There are people claiming that I'm phoney

And my father told me

Know your purpose

Dig more than the surface

What you got, you earned it

Know you're worth it

Fight through all the hurting

When you move it's working

Know what you wanna be

You may no you may not see it working

But that it is that it's working

Know it's working

Know what you wanna be

You may no you may not see it working

But notice that it's working

Know it's working
