Knowledge
C-Rayz Walz Lyrics
I don’t know how I’m supposed to live
In the streets i don’t
Know i’m just a local kid
From the East i don’t
Know, but I don’t want to do my thing if I’ll
Be stuck in the bing i don’t know i don’t
Know how I’m supposed to live
In the streets i don’t
Know i’m just a vocal kid
From the East i don’t
Know, but I don’t want to do my thing if I’ll
Be stuck in the bing i don’t know i don’t
It all started with that metro card damn!
Why my moms ain’t let me
Use that metro card? Unlimited
Scars what I spit on bars bone chill she said
"No" to me what?! I just paid
The phone bills my stone-
-willed ego screamed
"You broke? Do a robbery" my guardian said
"You’ll let locked up probably"
With anger in my heart, I
Retorted, "Don’t bother me, " and
Continued to "Deal in the Now" constantly
I hopped the train flame on my brain
I see my target
Avirex leather, platinum chains, fat pockets
I punched him in his face
Blood dripped on my cloth, kid
Thinking to myself, I’m like, "Damn
I’m beyond this" but, regardless
I gotta finish what I started
I drugged him with punches
Like a knuckle narcotic
I heard the gun click right before
I seen the sparks spit
The bullet ricocheted i’m like, "Damn
This is a knock home" (Oh shit)
I didn’t know how I’m supposed to live
In the streets i didn’t know that day
I could have killed police i didn’t
Know now how I’m supposed to
Do my thing? If I’m
Stuck in the bing? I didn’t know i didn’t
Know how I’m supposed to live
In the streets i didn’t know that day
I could have killed police i didn’t
Know now how I’m supposed to
Do my thing? If I’m
Stuck in the bing? I didn’t know i didn’t
With a swift arm twist
I let a shot up in his heart kit by mistake
I reacted to a flashback of bondage
I heard the radio
Started my sprint like a runaway
Slave in a maze because of this, I might be
Using the walls to count days daze confusion
Left me choosing the wrong ways i feel
Like Kunta pounce on my tail, there’s drama
God cops chasing me and jails is
Packed like Amistad i don’t
Wanna manifest Allah through bars
(Nah) or dress in green that ain’t fatigue
And I’m used to "Camouflage"
Claustrophobic, I’ll go crazy in my cell fuck
Rhyming i’ll roll acapell in
That hell instead
Of stoges, I’ll ignite my soul and write
Like Mumia: "Live from Death Row" I’ll feel
Lightning blows from nightsticks
A crowd of chokeholds
Black boots massage my limbs ten
In a row i could
See it now: murder page face
I’ll be famous in the
Precinct, they beat me like
Larry Davis the cop
Died i see my moms cry in my mind threw my
Watch against the wall ‘cause now Amadou
I’ma do time i know
Justice the judge ain’t got
To speak fate damn
I should have stayed home and wrote
Rhymes to that beat tape
I could have been paid with fame
From lyrical flame now I’m
Slave, using the walls to count days now
I Know everything is real in
The streets now I
Know that day, I killed police now I
Know I’m never gonna do my thing, forever
Stuck in the bing now I know now I
Know everything is real in the streets now I
Know ‘cause, that day, I killed police now I
Know I’m never gonna do my thing, forever
Stuck in the bing i didn’t know now I know
Knowledge believe
(Believe we’re the illest) aesop Rock
On the track bazooka
(Bazooka Tooth your cat) minneasota
Sun Cycle solar
In the streets i don’t
Know i’m just a local kid
From the East i don’t
Know, but I don’t want to do my thing if I’ll
Be stuck in the bing i don’t know i don’t
Know how I’m supposed to live
In the streets i don’t
Know i’m just a vocal kid

Be stuck in the bing i don’t know i don’t

I don’t
Know how I’m supposed to live in the streets. I don’t
Know. I’m just a local kid from the East. I don’t
Know, but I don’t want to do my thing if I’ll

[Verse 1: C-Rayz Walz]
It all started with that metro card—damn!
Why my moms ain’t let me use that metro card? Unlimited
Scars. What I spit on bars bone-chill. She said
“No” to me—what?!? I just paid the phone bills. My stone-
-willed ego screamed, “You broke? Do a robbery”
My guardian said, “You’ll let locked up probably”
With anger in my heart, I retorted, “Don’t bother me,” and
Continued to “Deal in the Now” constantly
I hopped the train. Flame on my brain, I see my target
Avirex leather, platinum chains, fat pockets
I punched him in his face. Blood dripped on my cloth, kid
Thinking to myself, I’m like, “Damn, I’m beyond this”
But, regardless, I gotta finish what I started
I drugged him with punches like a knuckle narcotic
I heard the gun click right before I seen the sparks spit
The bullet ricocheted. I’m like, “Damn, this is a knock home” (Oh shit)

[Verse 2: C-Rayz Walz]
With a swift arm twist, I let a shot up in his heart kit
By mistake, I reacted to a flashback of bondage
I heard the radio, started my sprint like a runaway
Slave in a maze. Because of this, I might be
Using the walls to count days/daze—confusion
Left me choosing the wrong ways. I feel
Like Kunta. Pounce on my tail, there’s drama, god
Cops chasing me and jails is packed like Amistad. I don’t
Wanna manifest Allah through bars (Nah) or dress in
Green that ain’t fatigue, and I’m used to “Camouflage”
Claustrophobic, I’ll go crazy in my cell. Fuck
Rhyming. I’ll roll acapell in that hell. Instead
Of stoges, I’ll ignite my soul and write
Like Mumia: “Live from Death Row.” I’ll feel
Lightning blows from nightsticks, a crowd of chokeholds
Black boots massage my limbs—ten in a row. I could
See it now: murder-page face, I’ll be famous. In the
Precinct, they beat me like Larry Davis. The cop
Died. I see my moms cry in my mind. Threw my
Watch against the wall ‘cause now Amadou/I’ma do time. I know
Justice. The judge ain’t got to speak fate. Damn
I should have stayed home and wrote rhymes to that beat tape
I could have been paid with fame from lyrical flame. Now I’m
Slave, using the walls to count days
[Hook: C-Rayz Walz]
Now I
Know everything is real in the streets. Now I
Know. That day, I killed police. Now I
Know I’m never gonna do my thing, forever
Stuck in the bing. Now I know. Now I
Know everything is real in the streets. Now I
Know ‘cause, that day, I killed police. Now I
Know I’m never gonna do my thing, forever
Stuck in the bing. I didn’t know. Now I
