This I Know

Lyrics

[Intro: Tech N9ne & Kevin "Church" Johnson] God said it (Hmm, hmm, hm) What he say? To the top is where ya are headed (To the top where ya headed, yeah) But I know I'm hard headed (I know I'm hard headed, yeah) What ya got? (Ooh) I got a superstar fetish [Chorus: Tech N9ne & Kevin "Church" Johnson] I might not be a wonder with the numbers, but that music (This I know) So many blunders, might stun ya, but that music (This I know) I might not be a scholar, so father, Imma holla (This I know) I know ya show the love (This I know) I gotta go because (This I know) [Verse 1: Tech N9ne] The classroom where my daily chores are Ignore them, daydreaming reaching for stars My attitude in school is nope it's music notes And the ability of moving forward but got a bad report card No way to keep that bottled up my hollow gut bubbling 'Cause was hovering as the teacher's gonna make that follow up call To the house and rat us out why they gotta bust balls Do you think that mom and dad gonna coddle us? Nah Step daddy is a business man, he counting bread At the dining table I sit down with my pouting head I didn't even have to tell him, with the phone call that say I'm failin' Lookin at me his temper swellin', now he shouting red He said "If you apply yourself, do well up in school and I ain't 'bout to hire no help You grow up and find out you can't acquire more wealth You're a teenager so this ain't gonna require no belt" [Bridge: Tech N9ne] Spot is hot again, look what I got us in Oh my god I'm in hot ham honey Where my momma nem, can't even call a friend No job no dollars and pops saying dummy Committed a lot of sin, felt like I was not akin When he brought that Allah in, heart ran from me Alhamdulillah he said when he popped me with some bread You done knocked me in the head with some goddamn money I'm gone [Chorus: Tech N9ne & Kevin "Church" Johnson] I might not be a wonder with the numbers, but that music (This I know) So many blunders, might stun ya, but that music (This I know) I might not be a scholar, so father, Imma holla (This I know) I know ya show the love (This I know) I gotta go because (This I know) [Verse 2: Tech N9ne] In my mind, I'm thinking I gotta go Anybody around me think they can rhyme, I got a hotter flow But the family think you wasting ya time, that brought a low You wanna climb, but not a no, to be N9ne They shot up bro on momma's door They think it's a hobby, but people applaud me When I'm busting so I'm up in that discussion with Maudie When he was not at home I told my momma I'd probably Go to aunt Zeta's over the holidays, she looked at me oddly Sad sad, like just to go over Zeta's for Thanksgiving You need all those clothes in a trash bag? Kiss my momma then I made a mad dash Down the block and blast past All my friends and it's gon' be our last last "Bye Donny, bye Donny, bye Donny" - Was my shame lap No more in chains trapped, I never came back Love for my family, nothing will ever change that Gotta go cause this I know I'm chasing money, fame, rap [Bridge: Tech N9ne] Spot is hot again, look what I got us in Oh my god I'm in hot ham honey Where my momma nem, can't even call a friend No job no dollars and pops saying dummy Committed a lot of sin, felt like I was not akin When he brought that Allah in, heart ran from me Alhamdulillah he said when he popped me with some bread You done knocked me in the head with some goddamn money I'm gone [Chorus: Tech N9ne & Kevin "Church" Johnson] I might not be a wonder with the numbers, but that music (This I know) So many blunders, might stun ya, but that music (This I know) I might be not be a scholar, so father, Imma holla (This I know) I know ya show the love (This I know) I gotta go because (This I know) [Outro: Kevin "Church" Johnson] Oh yeah, this I know This I know, oh yeah, yeah Yeah, this I know
