I Know Video (MV)

I talk a good one, but know that beyond that
I know I would never'a made it without you
And I know there ain't much I can do to repay that
The reason I made it through, all I can say is thank you
I talk a good one, but know that beyond that
I know I would never'a made it without you
And I know there ain't much I can do to repay that
The reason I made it through, all I can say is thank you

And that's life, its crazy ain't it huh?
From temperamental teenage days seemed like all roads led to blazing up
Put my olds through shit deeper than a bass guitar
I couldn't play but I wrote, and although
My poor folks tried it all, still caused 'em to tow
A borderline war zone within the walls of their home
All outta love, me risking my future, they watching all of it
So desperate to help, being forced to let go
Now I know my story's no different to most and I'm not saying
I've done more than the average Joe, just making it known
What happened here, how many parents you know
Could go through that and still back their son's rap career, the case ain't closed
And fate saw me come good Mr Magistrate
Turns out chasing the dream is worth the battle pain
This for those who walked me to my first school day
And who'll be right there when I graduate, thank you I had to say it
Yeah

I talk a good one, but know that beyond that
I know I would never'a made it without you
And I know there ain't much I can do to repay that
The reason I made it through, all I can say is thank you
I talk a good one, but know that beyond that
I know I would never'a made it without you
And I know there ain't much I can do to repay that
The reason I made it through, all I can say is thank you

'Cause with me, you'd leave nothing to fate
And for that, I know I account for every one of your greys
And the kicker is, I know you'd have it no other way
And that's love, there ain't much I can say, but let me try
'Cause every problem I faced, they faced it with me
And added handfuls of stress on top of already chokers plates
And Stephanie, everything I lack, she's got it in spades
Look, I'm just sorry this song's an album late, 'cause if I'm honest
From sports days to court dates, from forty-forty
In the hallways to kicked out of schools, they backed me always
It made for quick recoveries 'cause no matter
How bad I f*cked up, they never once gave up on me
It goes much deeper than just something I wrote
I'm choking up, trying to get this past the lump in my throat
Guess I could never say enough, I could never make it up
But till I'm dust I'ma try 'cause it's love, and with us
It's nothing but, and mum

I talk a good one, but know that beyond that
I know I would never'a made it without you
And I know there ain't much I can do to repay that
The reason I made it through, all I can say is thank you
I talk a good one, but know that beyond that
I know I would never'a made it without you
And I know there ain't much I can do to repay that
The reason I made it through, all I can say is thank you

For your support when I was down on my luck
Credit's due, I feel I owe you that much, all I can say is
Thank you for all the heartaches that we've overcome
Wish I could change it, but what's done is done, all I can say is
Thank you for all the times that I've bitten my tongue
And later on, kicked myself for not speaking, believe me
You're second to none, and this here's just for being your son
I just wanted to say, I just wanted to say that I know

I talk a good one, but know that beyond that
I know I would never'a made it without you
And I know there ain't much I can do to repay that
The reason I made it through, all I can say is thank you
I talk a good one, but know that beyond that
I know I would never'a made it without you
And I know there ain't much I can do to repay that
The reason I made it through, all I can say is thank you
