Trip Lee - Know Me lyrics

I wanna introduce y'all to a friend of mine A lot of y'all don't know him But maybe you'll understand if he talks to you [Verse 1] Good evening, it's me, yeah it sounds so strange May not know me but I am a household name Since I came I ain't never been without no fame Always grab attention, mayne without no strain Yeah you heard of me, maybe I slipped out your brain Some they really love me, no doubt, no vain Others think I'm wack like "he sounds so lame" Some are somewhere in the middle like when altos sing But yup, you might find me fresh of the presses Dressed in the best leather, cat's better reckon Knives open eyes, I'm direct with a message Incapable of lies, come correct when I step in Known to change lives, yeah my rep is impressive Some don't really get me 'cause I am hard to see I've split up some families, I'm known to cause wreckage Some don't really get me, they say I'm hard to read [Chorus] Know me You know me, you know … Know me You know me, you know … [Verse 2] Aye, I'm so old school but I'm relevant to new In a league of my own, known for tellin' them the truth I know fakes that oppose, but I'm tellin' 'em to move 'Cause they ain't on my level like my elevator moved Uh-uh, they try to hang and compete with what I bring But it just ain't the same, they miss, they playin' games I got truth that they missin', 'bout what they can obtain They fakes, they not real, one day they will be ashamed No challenges can harm me, I'm battling the storm I know folks that got my quotes tatted on they arms But they missin' the point from Atlanta to the Bronx If they lives don't change and their patterns ain't informed I'll give you data, speak on matters that'll form The way you see the world, from your calories to p**n If you hear me but never change, better be alarmed I need doers, not hearers that's the norm, let's go [Chorus] Know me You know me, you know … Know me You know me, you know … [Verse 3] Hey throughout my lifetime, I done seen a lot of folks Been around the world, but ain't seen a lot of hope And I came to help if they believed in what I spoke Most ain't listen very well, they just read a lot of quotes Been used and abused by most that find me Some dudes in them pews, please don't remind me The views that they choose really don't define me Look, I just wanna be understood Hey, I'm a great storyteller and a beast of a poet A master historian, esteemed by the coldest And all of this centered around he who they notice But didn't recognize as the King who controls it The most high up, and I'm so inspired By a move created everything, don't try him I take it he's a lover plus a known fighter But I can't take credit 'cause I got a ghostwriter You ain't caught it yet? I'm talkin' about the Word Yeah, and if you don't know him you need to Study his ways and they will keep you from evil Word
