Nujabes - I Know (Remix) lyrics

Verse 1: Now let me get flexing My range of motion is every direction Calisthenics for my tongue is best when It's a hip hop instrumental I'm wrecking My mind's too swift like a letter for Taylor Gang knew I was trouble when I walked in with paper And pencil and watched it shake like a tip drill Recorded tres songs, now I know the neighbors Know my name is synonymous to spitting flames And I let my songs bang like neglectful parents nowadays I'm quite witty not from the inner city but around it So when I had detention I was grounded Reality set in so while I was sitting The only bad I got away with was with this pen So I intentionally added -itentiary That's some hot bars the results were incendiary But you'll never catch it, cause the method I invest in is for the reader's digestion In between the lines, thinking that you'll find it'll blow your mind like sweeping minds My kind are sleeping giants; why you want to kick me out my slumber That's why I keep in hiding; you don't want to count my victim number "Now why?" It's high. "Don't lie!" Don't mind my subtly But I befuddle emcees the sudden moment I bludgeon beats Like Slaughterhouse with the "Hammer Dance"; No touching me Tripping trying to cross Fiya's cross wires, I'm busting heat Kablam! I'm Prometheus with your head bobbing Head nodding to the beat knocking. Who's there? Me socking Punchlines all over the tube so you all know it's Haynes That's called branding, searing hot into your brain The name's Fiya, B, I know you had the first Rendition but I'm thinking that you'll like this verse And replay it thrice as many times it took to rehearse Chorus: (I Know) That I set the coolest atmosphere Ain't got to wait for the best cause I'm already here and (I Know) That all ya'll gonna hate Because I'm doing big things out the plain state and (I Know) That I can sing better than most of you cats And got more sk**s than ya'll that be trying to rap and (I know, just want to make sure all ya'll know. And I know...) Verse 2: How to make this awk(ward) Man I thought my train was unstop(pable) Alright who's kick him out the stu(dio) Now I got to think of how to make this one take sound cool Cause what you say you can't take back So I write history in these rhyme books so you can face facts That now it's indelible that my raps are incredible Even if they ain't legible, they're never unintelligible I understand if you're overwhelmed Cause like the Frozen film, my power is to leave you in a colder realm But I don't have to build a snowman persona like Jeezy Just watch the temp drop, boy, like Soulja Tell'em Don't mean to be a donk, excuse my french let me be Franc I'm taking music back to ragtime; honky tonk Cause I'll call you out if you think you're competition I'll battle all your catalog of songs you've written cause Chorus Outro: Cross step, cross step Hop (forward), hop (back), hop (forward), hop (back and) Cross step, cross step A-do the hopscotch, (a-do the hopscotch), a-do the hopscotch, (a-do the hopscotch) -repeat- Get funky! A-Hopscotch -repeat 8x- Threes!
