"Those who know everything know nothing at all"
More than cleverness we need to have knowledge of self. Be true to who you are.
lyrics
Hook:
Whachu know whachu know, about this life?
Whachu know do you know, how to live it right?
Verse 1 :
Some say they live it right living so uptight / I’m so sick of self righteous saying what to live like
Instead I’ll keep it true to my lotus leaves / leaving you with the liveliness to thrive and do it too,
We’ve all been through, following friends / but don’t be swallowing trends feeling hollow in the end
No sir-e, I follow my path in no hurry / if you tell me otherwise you’ll be sure to feel the fury
When I cook it up, it’s full of flavor like curry / making many men turn to mice and begin to scury
Cause many men be mini me’s seeking who to be / but style is like a cypher so you gotta keep it free,
So flee if you can’t step up in the arena / trying to tip toe around it just like a ballerina,
Don’t be afraid be yourself see your wealth / your realness doesn’t reside in someone else.
Hook
Verse 2:
There ain’t no stopping as I do it properly / cause instead of biting lines I feed my lyrics broccoli
That’s my philosophy, on how to keep it real / you flow awkwardly when trying to conceal
What you fail to see within, under your skin / livin a lie that dies, when you chose to win
Against the pressure, the what? The pressure / that surrounds everyone to make us feel lesser
But lest we forget who fought in WW2 / some died to give us freedom to be true to who,
We really are, so it’s really bizarre / that we try to prove ourselves by driving nice cars
Or wearing nice rings and things out to the bar / but compared to you, those are really sub par
Stop living in fear, I’m being sincere / that’s all I got to say thanks for lending your ear.
