If You Only Knew

歌詞

If You Only Knew Never, think just for shits and giggles Do we spit syllable riddles for bits and kibbles So chicks can wiggle and shake Cuz this image is fake AKIL I'm trying hard to relate in a place filled with so much hate SOUP Some brothers debate some love and some hate Whatever the case its all about the choices you make That's the reason you balloon or deflate CHALI But do relate we trying to rap back to its primitive state Wait MARC 7 No overnight success or running the bets Just pure unadulterated work progress I'm willing to bet the farm you'll give you right arm For a piece of the pie ask yourself why CHORUS If you only knew, the trials and tribulations we've been through But if you only knew, we real people homey just like you We humble but don't mistake us for some corny ass crew What we do is try to give you whatcha ain't used to SOUL MUSIC SOMETHING WE CAN ALL RELATE TO AKIL I ams what I am and that's all I can be, No more no less what you seeing is me Akil the MC W-I-S-E Wise intelligent God did bless me SOUP Yes we rock up off all the SP freshly especially Dangerous rough and deadly ALL The pen positioner Tip the Richter scale CHALI Alone we sink together we sail and prevail The rum brazen, coming through Guns blazin' Some of you duns running through ones with none savin' Complainin', me and my clan are unscathin' From the soul comes something amazing CHORUS AKIL How many times I gotta hear some fanatic in my ear Tellin me to keep it real when they ain't payin my bills Or feeding my kids, judging me on how I live If my crib in the hood or if its up in the hills MARC 7 Have you forgotten who you are? O you think you're a star Why you frontin' (you ain't nothing) You went from nothing to something But something means nothing If your people still wanting CHALI And you got money ain't givin' them nothing ALL Flossin and frontin SOUP Your game of charades The way you behave The image you save Your brother thats one big parade I'm sick of your ways I'm sitting here spitting the praise The next time they smile and they wave Will probably be with a gauge CHORUS
