What I Know

Royce Da 5'9" · Death Is Certain [2004]

Perhaps when you unwrappin the plastic

You respect whatever you hearin, cause styles is growin

Them guys is clonin, them pioneers

Rappers wanna be classic, like they Clef, Pras, and Warren



[Man singing] w/ (Royce ad-libs)

I'ma tell you what I know, what I know

Elvis - was a hero to most

But he never meant shit to me, it's statements

Like that made me gage, White, Black, hate to make

Me say - I like, when they fight back, they

Me and rap, I vent myself

Leanin back, not knowin that I meant myself

A lesson comin fast, you dudes better catch it

Whenever the future answers ya questions from the past

And hold that, I'm spillin these cold raps

Cause I am a +Throwback+ you feelin the soldier

And keep tryin, to keep up wit the kind of guy

That'll play you until they fatally say that the game's over

I'ma tell you what I know, what I know



[Royce Da 5'9"]

Oh my God, I destroy cities like the Blob

Goin from city to city, seein who I can rob

Goin from makin them poems up, in my garage

Then goin on major tours wit, me and my squad

Goin from listenin to Reggie, to meeting him

Wit my palms sweaty, to him, telling me - I'm deadly

Goin from likin, to spray the club after a night

That didn't go my way, to plug and writin for Dre

You damn right I was raised, to amaze and

Hand-writin on the same page, that you can't type on

So I black out, the usual same way

The old fashion rap, til there's no lights on



[Man singing] w/ (Royce ad-libs)

I'ma tell you what I know, what I know
