Lyrics
Knock On Wood
To all y'all living in your ivory lofts
Telling me if my muse is any good
And I guess that I got to keep my fingers crossed
I'm still alive so I knock on wood
You're analyzing all the trends, you draw up all your facts and fancy figures
And what? You expect me to bend over backwards
And smile and dance like some tap dancing nigger?
So, keep writing up your contracts and your deals
I'll keep doing what I like, yea and what I feel
Soon, you gonna feel the vicious bite, might be the night
When the snake of awareness strikes
So, keep writing up your contracts and your deals
I'll keep doing what I like, yea and what I feel
Soon, you gonna feel the vicious bite, might be the night
When the snake of awareness strikes
Dangling golden discs like they was carrots
Repeating the same lines like they was parrots
Dangling golden discs like they was carrots
Repeating the same lines like bloody parrots
When something's good it'll find it's way
It doesn't really matter what the non-believers say
Some people know the truth if they hear the truth
I guess that's why so many people seem to fear the truth
And I was once caught up in that shit
But I got to a point where I had enough of it
I'm sick and tired of all these pompous fools
Playing them same old games with them outmoded rules
And I'm a leader of the new school
I bust around and put it down because it's so cool
Bet you'd be happy as hell to get a record deal
Maybe your soul you'd sell to have mass appeal
Dangling golden discs like they was carrots
Repeating the same lines like they was parrots
Dangling golden discs like they was carrots
Repeating the same lines like bloody parrots
Yea, just a little bit of conversation for this generation
I'm talking to y'all, saying what I feel
Just keeping it real, cause my soul 'aint for sale
You get it? You dig?
Do y'all even know real when you hear it?
When you see it?
Can you feel it?
Talk to me man! Talk to me!
Dangling golden discs like they was carrots
Repeating the same lines like they was parrots
Dangling golden discs like they was carrots
Repeating the same lines like bloody parrots
Dangling golden discs like they was carrots
Repeating the same lines like they was parrots
Dangling golden discs like they was carrots
Repeating the same lines like bloody parrots
