MIKE - what i know Lyrics

Wow, wow (ayy)
Wow, wow, wo-ow (yeah)
Wow, wow
Wow, wo-ow, wo-ow
Uh

Yeah, one hand on the rifle
That shit for survival
The other on the Bible
And everything that I do got a purpose
Even though my life turned into a circus (mm)
And I'm so close I can taste it, off to the races
I ain't got no neighbors, traded them for acres
Leavin' LA but they treat me like a Laker
Every time I come 'round talk about a come down
When you get high as this
Get hard to keep your feet on the ground and shit
Dotted line, nah, I ain't tryna sign and shit
I'm just tryna keep what's mine and shit
'Cause when you know what I know
It's survival, one hand on the rifle
I ain't never lie to you, I ain't even try to
The only thin' I can't give her is the title (mm-hmm, uh)

'Cause when you know what I know
You just gotta live by the code
But you gotta live on your toes
When you know what I know
That could turn your friends into foes
Stay ten toes down like my nose
When you know what I know
You can't trust a word out of anybody
Even when they hurt you they ain't never sorry
So I stay out the way, 'cause that's how shit go
When you know what I know

That shit could leave you in a flash
Two hundred on the dash and I'm speedin' 'til I crash (do it fast, mm)
So I leave it in the past
Leanin' on the gas 'cause I needed it fast
Full tank and nobody gon' gas us
They want answers but nobody asked us
They forgot my work so I taxed 'em, just ask 'em
But I flip a bird livin' a head of the curve
And then I hit the curve
I knew I had to mature, I had to do the work
I put my head in the dirt and then I did that shit (yeah, I did that)
Got presidential tint on the windows, they ain't seein' through
Feel good knowin' I got it, but I'ma keep it too
Had to go missin' for a bit, but now it's peek-a-boo
Bitch, yeah

'Cause when you know what I know
You gotta live by the code
And you gotta live on your toes
When you know what I know
That can turn your friends into foes
I had to stay ten toes down like my mothaf*ckin' nose
You can't trust a word out of anybody
Even when they hurt you they ain't never sorry
So I stay out the way, 'cause that's how that shit go
When you know what I know (uh)
When you know what I know (uh)
(Mm-mm, yeah)

'Cause when you know what I know
I'm just, a-and people take
They take it as preachin' when I'm talkin'
I'm just tryna, I'm just tryna tell y'all, man, I've been
I've been behind the curtain
I peeked behind the curtain
It was more than a peek
I've been there and lived behind the curtain
'Cause when you know what I know
(Mmm, whoa, whoa, whoa)
