the wiz (rapper) – know yourself lyrics
[verse 1]
just a story
i knew a wise guy
with more intelligence than five eyes
who kept it kosher
he would never let the fish fry
one day he saw me
tried to tell me who i was
i said hold up homie
had to nip that in the bud
got haitian blood
sak ap fet
it’s the wiz
i knew myself, so i told him what it is
black and proud
atlanta’s own
home grown
ain’t no flexin’ round my zone
so you will never clone
i wrote some poems way back
before moving up to bench presses
i mean bars
got bеats
choppin’ to make some lettucе
never stressin’
i keep a cool demeanor in the freezer
comedic g+nius
can get a laugh up out a mona lisa
it was nice to meet ya
but what you’re sellin’, i ain’t buyin’
thanks for tryin’
and please don’t even think about replyin’
the wise guy just looked at me and said
if you think you know who you are
then you are already dead
[hook]
you gotta know yourself
your gotta know (do you wanna know)
you gotta know yourself
your gotta know (oh you gotta know)
you gotta know yourself
your gotta know (said you need to know)
and if you don’t know
now you know (now you know)
you gotta know yourself
your gotta know (do you wanna know)
you gotta know yourself
your gotta know (oh you gotta know)
you gotta know yourself
your gotta know (said you need to know)
and if you don’t know
now you know (now you know)
[verse 2]
then he told me bro you gotta know you meant for much more
you think you cookin’ but there’s no heat on the stove
you like a rookie how you never played before
been tryna tell ya
glad you opened up the door
now here’s the real
i feel that you been slackin’ on your purpose
i been lurkin’ and see you wastin’ your time on things that’s worthless
no offence but homie hop off the horse
there’s people hurting
i gave you the gift of rapping and its time to tear it open
hopin’ you heed this message and don’t leave me on read
cause if that happens no cappin’
i’ll use someone else instead
this not a claim for your fame
a joke or a game
to put it simple and plain
you’re here to praise my name
so have no shame
and don’t be scared of speaking
know yourself is like a journey where you never stop believin’
the purpose that which you seek is on the straight and narrow road
just some words from the great i am
and now you know
[hook]
you gotta know yourself
your gotta know (do you wanna know)
you gotta know yourself
your gotta know (oh you gotta know)
you gotta know yourself
your gotta know (said you need to know)
and if you don’t know
now you know (now you know)
you gotta know yourself
your gotta know (do you wanna know)
you gotta know yourself
your gotta know (oh you gotta know)
you gotta know yourself
your gotta know (said you need to know)
and if you don’t know
now you know (now you know)
[eja outro]
do you wanna know
you gotta know
you need to know
and now you know
do you wanna know
you gotta know
you need to know
and now you know
do you wanna know
you gotta know
you need to know
and now you know
do you wanna know
you gotta know
you need to know
and now you know
