Adé Hakim, Alphonse - Know Yourself Lyrics

Old soul so I know where I stand
In control of my own life span
Generating more income to my hand
I can never fold I just do what I can
Instrumental got the flow like dams
Usually don't go rely on some friends
Looking at me like a leader cause I am
Opportunist showing up in my DMs
Inconsiderate and heartless I marked it as spam
Only make time if you part of the fam
A legend in the making, pardon my french
But these assholes keep stalking my gram
Thought I was done, well I'm started again
Tell 'em King Sunny on a mission to win
And it ain't far from the original plan
Indigenous Man can't strip from the land
When shit hits the fan, better stick to your goal
The greediest ones don't wanna see you grow
Creep on tippy toes when they scheme on the low
Then be difficult, just to leech on your soul
Don't greet or approach me with green in your eyes
Envious of the energy I keep it inside
Believe in the times
Proceed with your grind
Keep it divine, leave your demons behind
Beam like the Sun
Cause we the renaissance
A peace of my mind on this beat I designed

Woah woah
Woah woah
Woah woah
Woah woah

Yeah
Real shit better know yourself
Aye
Cause it's bad for your self
You don't know no better til' you know yourself

Couple things that I had to confess
Felt like I couldn't breath had get it of my chest
Feeling the best when I'm getting rid of old phases
Remember I was lost
I was thinking about them old days
And now I got it back, you know I keep my peace intact
Talk in' bout going back to normal
Until that first attack, niggas smacked
He must be daze and confused
They only speaking code on the new
But I don't even wanna tune in
Maybe I was caught up in the life that I was proven
Cause the shit don't stop, it keep moving
Looking at another false flag they alluding
But whole time I just speak for myself
Had to practice what I preach to believe in myself
All the feeling that I felt
All the people that had helped
Can't live in regret cause it's bad for my health

Cause it's bad for yourself
You don't know no better til you know your self
Real talk gotta know yourself
Cause these big companies wanna sell your self

Yeah
Cause it's bad for yourself
You don't know no better til you know your self
Real talk
Cause these big companies they all talk

Tell em walk
The fuck out of here with that
