Kawann Shockley - If You Only Knew lyrics

Verse 1: If you only knew how much you was heavenly You would think God and not worship celebrities Tryna get a piece of the pie when you are it It's hard ‘cause the stars market what you aren't On the red carpet in tuxes and gowns While you're in your apartment would love to be down But you're not so you're down And these damn nine to fives slow you down So you drown in depression Lookin' at your present as if it was a curse When really it is a blessing You let them confuse you The author of confusion, author of the novel Hollywood The Illusion, the truth is Hollywood is madness with manic depressed Drug addict actors and rappers Some of whom feel lonely too That's why they roll with crews, man if you only knew If Chorus: If you only knew If you only knew Verse 2: If you only knew you were all God's children You would stop lookin' for the Lord in these buildings These guys got as much spiritual power as you do Putting on a robe don't make you a guru So many pimps in the pulpit, follow me If you don't believe me I'll give you this quick an*logy Go to the church and you'll see the following One guy with a bunch of women as his following He's not the man on the avenue hollering But pay attention now, he gon' show you all how to bling What about the car? What about the ring? You can have it all girl, don't worry ‘bout a thing That's what he tells you ‘cause that's what you wanna hear Now go back on that strip, I mean job, get that bread Then bring it back he said, in exchange you get his prayers For your husband to appear but there's only women here Chorus: If you only knew If you only knew Verse 3: If you only knew society is set up to trick you To get you to give your small fortune to rich dudes It's called capitalism That's why the people in the cap It'll listen to your cell when they tap and they rig ‘em But they ain't got it from most, we just happen to give ‘em What we was thinking on Facebook as it is written But it is written Christ will return from the sky With his feet like bronze in a vision Without your permission it's a cyber gospel Baptism in rhythm and inside the blocks too Twitter disciples go get in your Bibles My holy haikus are posted on iTunes Won't be long before they change this reality ‘cause truth is the enemy of any principality Thus the argument on net neutrality Either that or we all get nuked follow me Chorus: If you only knew If you only knew
