d rell - what if you knew lyrics

what if you knew johnathan was my first name
i can name a 100 people that would look strange
(facts)
i’m not here to cough up any details
(not at all)
so understand my life stories not for retail
(nope)
i just happen to make a dollar when i retell
a story from my past i hope you all can hear well
(pay attention)
what if i was to tell you i was born sickly
and because of my name n0body want to pick me up
but that’s not the subject of this story
i hope ya can keep up please do record me
(there’s more)
if you knew by 11 i was drinking henny
and by 12 there was no longer a virgin in me
if you knew that i almost tried to end it twice
well i’ve died twice so that’s a healthy balance right
(dark side)
if you knew el barrio is what i called home
(harlem)
and in certain parts of philly i’m well known
(southwest)
if you didn’t know philly i also breathe
now you know i’m part cheesesteak
and baconeggandcheese
so to philly i owe you an apology
for all those years actin like you not apart of me
(i’m human)
what you know about rita’s on a spring day
and a block bbq on a summer day
(yuurrooo)
i mean the city that brought you state property
that taught me how to wear a d+ckie set properly
i mean a lot of years passed on the scene
i’m from the era where young bulls walked on they jeans
where we use to hit the gallery to get right
we wasn’t rocking no cologne it was amber white
it wasn’t mainstream
headshot or topclass
you either rocked wit reed dollaz or joey jihad
(go gettas)
what if you knew poetry was my good foot
so when i’m dancing wit these words it’s a good look
i mean i have a relationship wit verbs
and every now and then
i take nouns off the curb
i mean the commas and periods make me furious
i’d rather have a disciplined soul
then one that’s curious
if you knew before art i was a ball player
(if you knew)
i knew more about a jab step then a fader
i’m just giving incite to the people who
(that’s all)
gonna hear things about me that they never knew
take us home
(what you think about me)
take us home
