I Know You
[Intro]
I know you
Don't know what I'm going through
Standing here, looking at you

[Verse 1: E.P. Da Hellcat]
You in the limelight, you think you rhyme tight
I think you're so wack, but maybe time might
Grow you up a bit, to do it properly
While we're discussing it, go get some property
'Cause at the rate you spend, I mean, you buy the bar
But you'll be broke again, that's how the cycles are
Get you in massive debt, with your goof ass
That's how the trap is set, sports car enthusiast
Invest in you some stock, open a Chick-Fil-A
Before you on the block, back to the pistol way
No longer built for that, so you ain't getting bread
You lost your skill for that, so you won't gеt ahead
Talking to new you, hope that was old you
I said I knеw you, I felt I owed you

[Chorus: Common & Grand Puba]
I know you (Gotta be something for me to write this)
Don't know what I'm going through (The way I give back is through the knowledge in my raps)
I know you (Gotta be something for me to write this)
Don't know what I'm going through (The way I give back is through the knowledge in my raps)
[Verse 2: Olskool Ice-Gre]
You want attention, don't you? You're in your feelings, ain't you?
You lack discipline, I think your daddy should've spanked you
You mix your loyalties with you priorities
All in the middle of it, asking, "Why the hell ain't it me?"
You so innocent, at least you try to be
I've been watching, know the truth, you can't lie to me
You 'bout that confrontation, for every situation
You ain't a friend to me, you're into making enemies
Oh, I'm too positive? Nah, you're too negative
You ain't got no chill, think you need a sedative
It's so repetitive, the off-beat choice of actions
You're focused on the Franklins, only lead to more distractions
You're like an axe in action, chopped and splitted up
Mxyzptlk it up, if you drop it, pick it up
I know the wind what it gon' take to flow
And I'm too grown for games, that's why I had to let it go
Yo

[Chorus: Common & Grand Puba]
I know you (Gotta be something for me to write this)
Don't know what I'm going through (The way I give back is through the knowledge in my raps)
I know you (Gotta be something for me to write this)
Don't know what I'm going through (The way I give back is through the knowledge in my raps)
(Got-gotta be something for me to write this)
