Kem'yah - Know Thyself Lyrics

Yah
Take 6
Gotta Know Thyself
Gotta Know Thyself
Gotta Know Thyself
Gotta Know Thyself
Yah

Young and wild, grew up with the set
Never had the lust for bricks
But always had it for the tech
In My mind I'm Malcolm X

All I'm thinking is protect
Robbery after robbery
Had the flag on the left
Told niggas they needed vests

So I started selling vests
Invested in Self
Cause I'm crucial with the pen
Usually that's the best way to reach niggas in the pen

And free My crodie Mag and all the real niggas in the bin
We gonna need them in the end
Facing a mob of pigs and crooked politicians
When you shoot you can't be missing

Coded language cause they listen
But you know how the story goes
Of course We gonna win again
Still dodging every charge they send

Cause I don't got no new friends
Prove to be a nuisance
My wife, She's My Goddess though, so She's been My amusement
Bending time and space cause power I speak it fluent

Had to know Myself just to know what I was doing
Yah, Yah

F*ck every single thing they saying
Make sure you know your role
And stay the f*ck up in your lane
Cause they got monsters in the game

But that ain't nothing to a Queen
Cause it's nothing to a King
Know Thyself
That's all I'm saying nigga

F*ck how you feel
I came a long way
From those days in the hallways
Harding park on a good day

But we didn't have much good days
So I still count on Piff to have a spliff lit in the staircase
As if that shit is safe now
Gotta meds with a K now

Niggas ain't the same now
Niggas lost their way
But you know they'll never admit it
Run a nigga down

But they running from the pigs
Niggas ain't no gangstas
All you niggas bitch
The KKK has never been hit
By a blood or crip

So I'm tryna change the script
1 Percent will get the shit
You can't envision the movie
We gotta cut your scene

Not every actor makes it to the screen
I done seen some shit you can't believe
We don't do make believe
We do everything to leave

Still end up victim to these streets
Cause We don't know who We be
I loved everyone but Me
I did it all for the life, but what the f*ck I do for Me? Nigga Yah

F*ck every single thing they saying
Make sure you know your role
And stay the f*ck up in your lane
Cause they got monsters in the game

But that ain't nothing to a Queen
Cause it's nothing to a King
Know Thyself
That's all I'm saying nigga

Yah
Know Thyself
That's all I'm saying nigga
Know Thyself that's all I'm saying

Still got my glizzy on me
F*ck these crakkkers and the police nigga Yah
Still got my glizzy on me
Muthaf*ck the law and the f*cking police

Know Thyself that's all I'm saying
Know thyself that's all I'm saying

Still got my glizzy on me
F*ck these crakkkers and the police
Still got my glizzy on me
Muthaf*ck the law and the f*cking police
