Know Me

Yea, they walk around tough and talk a big game
But then the truth reveals to us that they're just acting phony
Swearing they're original, but they all sound the same
That's why everything they say, man to me, sounds corny
And then they have the nerve to say that my rhymes are so lame
But I keep it authentic, see that's my testimony
People getting mad cuz they're thinking that they know me
But homie, you just don't me

You don't know the pain that I went through to get here
Three ingredients for success, Blood, Sweat, Tears
Every single lyric that I wrote I had to live it
Had to do more than just say it, had to swallow and digest it
See my faith had to be tested, my emotions arrested
In order for every song to have His Spirit manifested
Man I had to learn just what it takes, I had to learn from my mistakes
I had to attend my own funeral and my own wake
This is more than just a dream, it goes beyond my aspirations
Out of the mouths of the prophets spoke and brought the confirmations
Revelation to what I'm supposed to be, more than just an MC
A servant of the Trinity revealing His divinity
All of this comes with a price, had to learn to sacrifice
Confidentially trust the Lord, not feeling that I'm rolling dice
Had to learn, man, what it costs, had to bear up my own cross
All the success of the world, apart from Christ, is a loss

Yea, they walk around tough and talk a big game
But then the truth reveals to us that they're just acting phony
Swearing they're original, but they all sound the same
That's why everything they say, man to me, sounds corny
And then they have the nerve to say that my rhymes are so lame
But I keep it authentic, see that's my testimony
People getting mad cuz they're thinking that they know me
But homie, you just don't me

You don't know the pressure from all the eyes that are watching me
Every move determines who follows or unfollows me
Friend or unfriend me, it won't offend me or phase me
I refuse to allow likes or dislikes to sway me
Not seeking your approval, so I don't need your permission
On the word of God I stand, so I'm not changing my position
You could bring the opposition, won't do you any good
Greater is He that's within me, so let's get that understood
I'm an artist with paintings, so welcome to my gallery
You can critique all you want, it won't change what's inside of me
Every canvas with its own unique color and illustration
It's like my heart with the life of God being its demonstration
Which means you see more than me, what you really see is He
Master of the universe using a little piece like me
Masterpiece that He accepts, even if this world rejects
Took our sins, died then he rose, we call that there "Cause and Effect"

Yea, they walk around tough and talk a big game
But then the truth reveals to us that they're just acting phony
Swearing they're original, but they all sound the same
That's why everything they say, man to me, sounds corny
And then they have the nerve to say that my rhymes are so lame
But I keep it authentic, see that's my testimony
People getting mad cuz they're thinking that they know me
But homie, you just don't me
