J Lyles - J Lyles - Knock On Wood lyrics

[Chorus: J Lyles] (x2) We Knockin on that wood one time you know (x2) That Im gonna be, im gonna be [Verse 1: J Lyles] A couple days ago, you see my mindset was different At first i was worried but now im speakin things to existence You see this music that im writin Yea its settin the bar But little do yall know i used to record in a car No recording supplies No cords for my rhymes No plugs for epuipment No mic for my verses No headphones No filter for P's and S's Now i just rhymes with essence This is an early christmas Might've recorded in a car but still got yall to listen Used to compare myself to people and was not aware I had the waves and they got em so i grew my hair And when i rapped on other tracks i called myself dissin people But now im rappin how my faith works and it disciplines evil Used to be feeble Kinda deceitful But now i hop onto the tracks and now i rhyme for cathedrals Im witnessin' people U listenin people? The messages is peaceful Used to be grounded , but now i fly like an eagle [Chorus: J Lyles] (x2) We Knockin on that wood one time you know (x2) That Im gonna be, im gonna be [Verse 2: J Lyles] Im the youngest old man you ever seen I had a vision in my past life of me saying something deep This that time now Look how dreams unfold Or visions come sharper than a 2 edged sword Im the boy that be here rappin alot Im the boy that speaks truth Im the boy that keeps the tags on his socks Im the boy that looks up to his brotha Im the boy that used to act up alot and talk back to his motha Im the boy that got a dad in his life Im the boy with two sisters ..... That helped me learn my left from my right Im the boy that gets degraded alot Thats a black on black crime , Uncle Ruckus is engraved in ya thoughts Im the boy that goes to church every sunday 7 days of the week i serve God so i can keep the anointing Im the boy that they would label a square But meanwhile im the boy that they girlfriends rather have as a pair Uh but i ain't neva changed on em tho I ain't neva changed on em tho Uh Ion turn nothin down but my collar Boy you gettin real bold Uh Im the realest of the real I just thought that you should know And im knockin on wood so the hate stays back while the mixtape blow [Chorus: J Lyles] (x2) We Knockin on that wood one time you know (x2) That Im gonna be, im gonna be I hate when people doubt my prowess I used to beg my parents for an allowance Can't afford that so i can't afford rappin That could send teen like me thru straight madness Mayday panic Makeway canva** Cuz ima about to write something thats real tragic Or maybe something twisted that will keep ya boy from skippin To a path That i will regret If i visit But i stay neat, fresh and i stay dapper But thats the same thing, racecar spelled backwards I've always had a vision in this life that i can fly But I gotta learn to walk before ya boy even try There's more trees to climb More things apply To even think for once that ya boy could be tight I feel i got potential right now to make cla**ics And manage all the thing that i once called madness [Chorus: J Lyles] (x2) We Knockin on that wood one time you know (x2) That Im gonna be, im gonna be
