Medina - Knowledge Of Self lyrics
rate meI got my hand on the s of a black nine
I ain't trying to take your life I'm trying to take mine
See mama used to sleep with other men to pay the motel
...everyday and makes me sick to my stomach
Heard a voice say people build the pyramids
strapped with the … ain't hearing it
Look at me now I'm holding what they're holding in
I'm putting that to Caesar when the roman … romans
They say you pay for every sin
and I know time is money they should put me in the pen
Feel my pain and my struggle from within
I was once incarcerated to my soul without the pen
West Indians love me everywhere
And Johhny drug his girl by the head down the stair
...then he pulled the knife out
while I stood right in front of her I learned what I'm about
guess it's why my mama lowed out
guess it's why I never popped out
guess it's why I never wanted fame
guess it's why people feel my pain
now I ain't saying I'm the Dalai Lama
black women go through too much motherfucking drama
Guess it's why they love me all the same
guess it's why a nigger change the game
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I've been through it
They can do it, like I do it, if you do it, you'll get through it
I woke up early one morning on a park bench yawning
guess my alarm clock was all the rest …
I wanted die so bad then I thought about my dad
even know at the time he was a speaker
he used to say you act just like your mother
so I trip myself to believe I was manic depressor
fuck stressin, I was just an adolescent had me straight to juvi … before a nigger got arrested
Flash back oh, back to the present and my suicidal … there be a lesson
To my surprise wake up in the shopping center
and I'm sleeping in my car in the middle of winter
The shit got strange, couldn't afford to …
Fucked up my engine, about to slip into a rage
And a man named Rob let me sleep upon his couch, in Atlanta
that's why I love the dirty south
guess it's why my mama lowed out
guess it's why I never popped out
guess it's why I never wanted fame
guess it's why people feel my pain
now I ain't saying I'm the Dalai Lama
black women go through too much motherfucking drama
Guess it's why they love me all the same
guess it's why a nigger change the game
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I've been through it
They can do it, like I do it, if you do it, you'll get through it
Naha, evil con evil over panties and bras
In my life only had 4 girlfriends because
my mother fucked up my trust in the woman
when you see me big tipping who gonna tell me that I shouldn't ?
I'm like James Dean with the cars and the flaw
I can stall you in a … m16 with the grenade launcher
...you only 16 ready to suicide promit
you never blew up like I did, I affected every man, … even satan's kid
fuck feelings, the world fears and understand they took your ways
so they pay us all villains
we're just wrong, swear to God as I redefine my call
I can hear the trumpets flowing
I kept going as myself all the problems in my life why the fuck am I flawing?
guess it's why my mama lowed out
guess it's why I never popped out
guess it's why I never wanted fame
guess it's why people feel my pain
now I ain't saying I'm the Dalai Lama
black women go through too much motherfucking drama
Guess it's why they love me all the same
guess it's why a nigger change the game
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I've been through it
They can do it, like I do it, if you do it, you'll get through it.<br />
