Khalil Ismail - Knocking lyrics
rate me(chorus)
Knock knock Knockin on the door
Waiting on the time when I get in
But until then
Im riding with the wind
(verse)
It’s funny
I never saw myself rapping
Rhymed a little and I’d get a good reaction
But YOU know how people are
They just tell you what you want to hear
And I was never a star
Or so I thought
In music I would never get far
Not really like fame
Is what makes
me write these bars
but sometimes I sit and think
I
feel im on the brink
Opportunity is knocking I just cant find
The door knob
im watching all these jig dancers on the mic lying
they made it little farther though im still grinding
they don’t love it like I do
and i aint crying
Its just the passion that you hearing
Put my heart in these rhymes
You know
just want spread the earth with Goodwill
and Feel like God has gifted me and so I keep it truthful and real
and the truth is a deal
is next to
impossible ta get
if you dropping knowledge cuz they scared of what you represent
(chorus)
Knock knock Knockin on the door
Waiting on the time when I get in
But until then
Im riding with the wind
Knock knock Knockin on the door
Waiting on the time when I get in
But until then
Im riding with the wind
(verse)
now I’m the type to celebrate
when my man do great
never feel like im a failure
when he do his thing
but I cant say the same when I share my success
like dog you aint all that and so I digress
I
Learned the hard way that
The more you understand
The more a stranger you become in this land
It’s a journey and the path gets lonely
But the trick is to still love them for them
Now when a friend becomes hindrance a more than help
Theres comes a time when you have to choose self
U know all we got a destination
so
We cant afford no regrets
See Theres a war goin inside
And I swear
it's like the biggest fight
Of our lives.
And if we're
Even going to have chance
To fly
Then we must
Understand that its all a test
But i guess I'm just
(chorus)
(verse)
Tell me something are we puppets on strings?
If it was written what do choices really mean?
If it was destined are you sayin
We are just playin on a stage scripted
And if so what exactly is a decision?
So many people say they following they dreams, and I just wonder what is the percentage
If only 1 out of a million can be a millionaire is it failure or the dream is just demented?
(bridge)
What are we hoping for
Living for
dying for
Trying for
That got us lost
That got us lost
What are we hoping for
Dreaming for
Feigning For
Scheming for
That got us lost
That got us lost
Got to keep knocking
Knock knock knocking
Knock knocking
Knock knock knock knocking
Till I get in but until then
I’m riding with the wind
Got to keep knocking
Knock knock knocking
Knock knocking
Knock knock knock knocking
Till I get in but until then
I’m riding with the wind
Got to keep knocking
Knock knock knocking
Knock knocking
Knock knock knock knocking
Till I get in but until then
Im riding with the wind
