Knowing

Lyrics

Brothers on the block knowing
 (From this point on it only gets rougher)
 Sisters at the crib knowing
 (From this point on it only gets rougher)
 Preachers at the church knowing, but still get by
 (From this point on it only gets rougher)
 Teachers at the school knowing
 (From this point on it only gets rougher)
 Babies on the bottle knowing
 (From this point on it only gets rougher)
 Junkies on the corner knowing, but still get high
 (From this point on it only gets rougher)
 Well, here's a formal introduction
 Something to make you ponder
 The situation's ugly like In Living Color's Wanda
 (Word up!)
 Now, everybody play dumb, but there's some that succumb
 Or fall victim, I will overcome
 Any hurdle or obstacle that's in my path
 Fast cash should be the last resort, so make it last
 For the risk you took, trick, you shook your ass
 For some hundred dollar heels and a designer bag
 Now that's ass backwards
 All you got in the refrigerator is Bratwurst
 Your stomach is balled in a knot, you got that Phat purse
 Pocketbook, stop and look, pockets look void
 Destroyed by the need to indulge and enjoy the finer things in life
 Your dignity the only sacrifice
 Slim as your chances of being somebody's wife
 They seeing ya butt booty naked every night
 Ain't nothing right or wrong!
 Brothers on the block knowing
 (From this point on it only gets rougher)
 Sisters at the crib knowing
 (From this point on it only gets rougher)
 Preachers at the church knowing, but still get by
 (From this point on it only gets rougher)
 Teachers at the school knowing
 (From this point on it only gets rougher)
 Babies on the bottle knowing
 (From this point on it only gets rougher)
 Junkies on the corner knowing, but still get high
 (From this point on it only gets rougher)
 Even though things started falling apart
 Wanda went and bought a Honda, now she's out of a job
 She would slob on a knob for a little less than a yard
 A massage, you could drill her like a sarge
 She would charge and rob, pick through your pockets
 She got the trick's watch and the silver locket
 That he bought for his wife but Wanda left her license
 On the nightstand fuckin' with this white man
 She met in a Little Red Corvette, paid for sex
 Made a deal that she would never forget, you can bet
 Every action has a positive and equal reaction
 Therefore everything that goes around comes around in that fashion
 Fast & Furiously, there was a knock on the sliding glass door Bitch, it's me!
 You thought you was slick the way you hit me for that lick
 But you slipped, now I'm getting in your shit!
 Brothers on the block knowing
 (From this point on it only gets rougher)
 Sisters at the crib knowing
 (From this point on it only gets rougher)
 Preachers at the church knowing, but still get by
 (From this point on it only gets rougher)
 Teachers at the school knowing
 (From this point on it only gets rougher)
 Babies on the bottle knowing
 (From this point on it only gets rougher)
 Junkies on the corner knowing, but still get high
 (From this point on it only gets rougher)
 (From this point on it only gets rougher)
 (From this point on it only gets rougher)
 (From this point on it only gets rougher)
 (From this point on it only gets rougher)
