Nick Cannon – Know What It Is lyrics

[Intro]
Negro ran out and attacked the rappers
Boldness and rebellion in his blood
We have to expect envy and jealousy
And we have to expect plots and plans and machinations for the murder of our young brothers and sisters
Somebody has to call these niggas out
While you afraid to come into the community and deal with the grassroots of your people
A whole generation has come up around you
Let's talk about the rappers for a minute
Can we talk about the rappers for a moment?

[Verse 1]
I think I know what it is (I do)
Niggas been hatin', that's cool (Yeah)
Okay, I know I'm the shit (Know I'm the shit)
I got all of these ladies, my clout, they be chasin', if him, I'd be pissed (Be mad)
Okay, I know what it is (He built like a bitch)
He wanna be like me, always talk about me, tell your mans get off my dick (It's big)
This life is amazing, can't do no complaining
I been writin' checks, they askin' who I bank with
Never ran from it, never make a statement (Snitch)
Don't need more clout, already famous
Already rich, already made it
You think it's a joke off the jokes I be making?
Might see that boy and beat him like Dababy (I'm the truth)
You know I'm a dj way I turn them tables (Skrrt)
I could buy whatever shot, I got a bank
One hundred for whatever, I bet that'll make 'em
Have the nerve to say I was pickin' on him (Lil' bitch)
Guess he a lil' tenderoni (Lil' bitch)
Every woman he get leave him lonely (Lil' bitch)
Every woman he get cheatin' on him (Lil' bitch)
I bet that skin had a needle on it
He a junkie, having tweaking moments

[Pre-Chorus]
I got the bank on whatever
Anything you would do, I could do better
My bars so fast, you put ten on a sweater
Come and see me, I could get you together
Keep it real, I don't know what's the vendetta
Me, I'm a legend, and so is my kid
Talkin' 'bout me, I was mindin' my biz
Bro 'nem had told me to handle my biz

[Chorus]
I think I know what it is (Know what it is)
They wanted revenge
Yeah, they know what it is (They know what it is)
I think I know what it is (Know what it is)
Yeah, they know what it is (They know what it is)
I think I know what it is

[Interlude]
Are you a stone that all the buildings have rejected?
When they sit down and talk about government and civilization
Do they invite you in?
You not even a spook that sat by the door
You a spook that don't know where the door is to sit down
They're not carin' nothin' about you
Black folk, that's black music, but they own that
How did they get to own everything that we have created?
It's because they have master disease
And they hate the fact that we are strong enough to say it

[Verse 2]
I think I know what it is (Yeah)
They gon' call this shit a diss (Diss)
Fifty niggas in my comments
And yeah, I'm talkin' that sense (Fifty)
That Islamic more a science, I'm on it
You house niggas get a grip (Grip)
Boy, excuse my French (Montana)
Montana, spent two on the whip (Montana)
But how we arguin' 'bout cars, my nigga? We should be takin' care our kids (For real)
We should be building up the crib (For real)
Should be showin' 'em how to live (For real)
Pour up, providing more jobs for all of my niggas that's fightin' them bids
We eatin', they starvin', they tighten they ribs
They lookin' at us like we tighten, we get
We supposed to be titans, so tighten up then

[Pre-Chorus]
Whatever
Yeah, we delayed it, but we could do better
Been gettin' this money, been makin' 'em jealous
Come and see me, I could get you together
Keep it real, I don't know what's the vendetta
I'm a young legend, been helping the kids
Talkin' 'bout me, I was mindin' my biz
Bro 'nem had told me to handle my biz

[Chorus]
I think I know what it is (Know what it is)
They wanted revenge
Yeah, they know what it is (They know what it is)
I think I know what it is (Know what it is)
Yeah, they know what it is (They know what it is)
I think I know what it is

[Outro]
Just outright foolish fool
Who is not producing anything of value for yourself or your people
Now that's foolish
Now, when a liar has gotten a hold of you
The liar is afraid of anybody that knows the truth
And will tell it
