Knowing. (Hook): Brothers on the block knowing (from this point on it only gets rougher) Sisters at the crib knowing (from this point on it only gets rougher) Preachers at the church knowing, we still get by (from this point on it only gets rougher) Teachers at the school knowing (from this point on it only gets rougher) Ladies on the block knowing (from this point on it only gets rougher) Junkies on the corner knowing, but still get high (from this point on it only gets rougher) Verse 1: Well here's a formal introduction Something to make you ponder The situation's ugly, like In Living Color's Wanda (word up!) Well everybody play dumb, but there's some that succumb And fall victim, I will overcome any hurdle or obstacle that's in my path Fast cash should be the last resort so make it last for the risk you took Trick, u shook your ass for some hundred dollar heels and a designer bag Now that's ass backwards All you got in the refrigerator is bratwurst Your stomach is balled in a knot, you got that phat purse Pocketbook, stop and look, pockets look void Destroyed by the need to indulge and enjoy the finer thing in life right? Your dignity, your only sacrifice, slim as your chances of being somebody's wife They seeing ya but , booty naked every night, ain't nothing right or wrong. (Hook) Verse 2: Even though things started falling apart Wanda went and bought a Honda Now she's out of a job, she would slob on a knob For a little less than a yard, a massage you could drill her like a sarge She would charge and rob Pick trough yo' pockets She got the tricks watch and the silver locket That he bought for his wife but Wanda left her license On the night stand fuckin' with this white man She met in a little red Corvette paid for sex Made a deal that she would never forget you can bet Every action has a positive and equal reaction Therefore everything that goes around comes around in that fashion Fast and furiously, there was a knock on the sliding glass door (bitch, it's me!) You thought you was slick the way you hit me for that lick But you slipped now I'm getting in your shit (Hook)
