Chris Johnson - Don't Know Better lyrics

Chorus 2x They tell you don't fight a fair fight like, like I don't know better Don't you walk with ya head high like, like I don't know better Don't you talk bout dead rights like, like I don't know better Just tell ya peeps rest in peace over here right like, like I don't know better Verse 1 Bars sick where the doctor at? Flow nuts where's Washington carver at? This a fresh cut where the barbers at These cats looking washed out like a laundromat Yall already know I'm unpacking the rap bit Whip it, stress it, compress it back with action Yall already know not to mess with the faction Yall already know the kid goin back in And when I wake up thank God every morning I remain tough Word up, when I'm down he be lookin out That's a given I ain't really have to state but Gimme a track, I'm attackin like y'allah Grindin and I'm working for more than a dollar If you ain't see it got the spark like a Prius And He a young king like the son of Mufasa Pray poachers don't get the jump on him first Downed in the street, that's society at it's worst Wrong place wrong time with a couple Gs Mama keep crying they puttin him in the dirt That's why we reachin up for them stars Lawyers through musicians they coming up through the bars Cop a couple whips, try to cover up all the scars Look at white faces to get up out of the dark Real rap I saw it, put it in words Sheep move work, not talkin slangin them birds If you not content with the content that's in my verse Give the devil a shovel when you hop out of the hearse And The irony is though the flow come sweet as the first But they not gonna like it, no they won't like it, when they getting they just desserts Chorus 2x They tell you don't fight a fair fight like, like I don't know better Don't you walk with ya head high like, like I don't know better Don't you talk bout dead rights like, like I don't know better Just tell ya peeps rest in peace over here right like, like I don't know better Verse 2 Coming in thinking that they rhyme is up They time is up Better hope your lines is up Cause I'm comin wit the heat make u contemplate Just concentrate no reason to complicate Shout out now I'm thanking all the activist Im pa**ionate So i started rapping it Clap to this Imma be the advocate Grateful for the ones and they activeness They been k**ing it since day 1 Pain they wished that they would have undone But no one can undo that So we just pursue that Utopia Need more voices if you can just open ya mind Stop wasting our time Watching disasters just pa**ing us by Wondering why They start to cry Enough is enough im done with the lies Wait Try to understand all the sacrifice Marched the streets so we could have a happy life Whats the price just to live in paradise Lost the greats were lost and we need a light Cause Im not here just to be a stereotype I was Born to be me tell me where are my rights Filled with rage now I think I'm reaching my heights Told us to stand down but we're still gonna fight Tryin beat us physically Lyrically Yall ain't really feelin me The way we act now is really k**in me Goin' to infinity Havin' an epiphany Wrote this with precision like I'm doin' calligraphy To another level we don elevated Makin a change now I think it's time we celebrated Because of them I can live life and be me Started from the bottom now we're finally free Verse 3 Like I don't know better, oh too clever Mind to hot for this cold cold weather Truth be told I don't fold under pressure Truth be told I don't know how let up No more letter, walking with the devil No more chains on slaves for the rebel The blackness pain gone stain when it settles I can't go a day without painting the struggle I write chapters on these walls Cause I feel captured in these walls Life put a fracture on these walls Black power stature on these walls This for martin, This for Tubman This for Newton, this Nelson This for those who had righteous in them It's only right that I write what's in them Chorus 3x They tell you don't fight a fair fight like, like I don't know better Don't you walk with ya head high like, like I don't know better Don't you talk bout dead rights like, like I don't know better Just tell ya peeps rest in peace over here right like, like I don't know better
