All I Know feat. C.L. Smooth
DJ Jazzy Jeff Lyrics

I make it move like I Wanna move with them horns
I bring energy and excitement to my music, like the way horns in a band bring movement and rhythm

Let 'em play with them strings While I spit the life of kings
While the instrumentalists play their instruments, I express the lavish and luxurious lifestyle of kings through my lyrics

Put a could in it, stood with it, we at it Dudes that was meant to have it
I confidently and decisively pursue success, even though some people believe it was destined for others and not for me

Fans wanna reach out and grab it I'm just an ordinary man With an unordinary lifestyle
My fans want to immerse themselves in my music and fame, but I want them to remember that despite my extraordinary lifestyle, I am still just a regular person

Seen early, I would live as a child I was conceived a mistake
From an early age, I knew that my life would be different, as I was born as an unplanned child

But through God is really all it take For me to be born and make the Earth shake
However, all it takes is God's intervention for me to be born and have a tremendous impact on the world

This was raised from the bottom So before them plainclothes got 'em Soak up the four square miles to pop 'em
I grew up in a disadvantaged background, so I made sure to learn and absorb everything within my surroundings before the police could catch me

It's me in the flesh Here to put the rumors to rest And let you celebrate hip hop's best
I am here, physically present, to debunk any rumors and allow everyone to acknowledge and celebrate me as one of the greatest in hip-hop

From the womb to the tomb Hit the game real soon With a tune that's gon' take son Straight to the moon
Since birth until death, I will enter the music industry soon and with a song that will elevate and transport listeners to new heights, like reaching the moon

Ta dow, see it's my turn now All competitors bow, all you sayin' is, "Wow"
It's finally my time to shine and succeed, causing all my competitors to recognize my talent and be in awe of my achievements

All I know, is the way it gotta go And everything it take to hold me down
My knowledge is centered around the path I must take to succeed and overcome any obstacles that try to hinder my progress

All I see, is the way it gotta be If you came to see me hit the town
I envision a specific way things should be, especially when it comes to my performances in various towns

This is my vibe, the way I survive And peoples can't play me out of bounds
I thrive on this particular style and energy, which enables me to navigate life successfully without allowing anyone to outperform or outmaneuver me

Here's my point, on a Jazzy Jeff joint Is why CL can wear the crown
My purpose and presence on a collaboration with Jazzy Jeff demonstrate why I deserve to be recognized as a king in the music industry

When you think about the pedigree To own the whole catalog All I'm sayin' is, don't sleep on me dawg
Considering my impressive background and ability to own and control my entire body of work, I'm advising people not to underestimate or overlook my talent

I really waked them streets there Schooled them young wolves CL will slay anything in his way
I truly walked the streets, experiencing the realities of life there, and taught and mentored young individuals who are now strong and unstoppable, just like me

Okay it's all about the aura I project That ultimate connect And how you see me as a man of respect
My success is attributed to the presence and impression I create, the deep connection I establish with my audience, and the way they perceive me as a highly respected man

So it's like a mutual agreement All your feed is in the cement Learn the rules, let you earn your pay sure
It's a mutually beneficial agreement between me and my fans, where their support is solidified and manifested. I emphasize the importance of learning the industry rules to guarantee financial success

Nosy then you think of what it cost me To how the world forced me To kill 'em softly, baby
If you're curious and take the time to reflect, you would realize the sacrifices I had to make and the pressure society exerted on me, leading to my ability to captivate and impact others effortlessly

How the music sound from the basement And how the work bless me Who let you see the fame don't impress me
I remember my humble beginnings, making music in basements, and how my hard work has rewarded me. I want you to know that fame doesn't impress or define me

Dig it? Why it's cut from a different cloth Blood to set it off Keep a real nice piece in a loft, easy
Do you understand? My approach to life and music is unique and distinct, similar to a rare and precious fabric. I come from a lineage that sparks excitement and keeps valuable belongings safely stored

Anytime you can hold ya head Then you can hold some bread And relate to what CL said, yes
If you can maintain composure and remain confident, you can achieve financial success. This is something you can connect with and understand, echoing the words and experiences of CL

It's Jazzy Jeff on the turntables CL on the M-IC philly on up to the NYC
Jazzy Jeff showcases his skills on the turntables while CL takes over the microphone, representing Philadelphia and extending his influence to New York City

And breakdances, God, tags in the trainyard Wild style fat laced, thugs locked up From a 1980's case
We also engage in breakdancing, graffiti art, and tagging in trainyards, embodying the vibrant and expressive culture of the 1980s. Even though some of our peers have been imprisoned, their influence remains strong

Goons with them grown kids Used to them long bids Meet you on the dance floor Slash the visit did, a lot from the rep to
We have associated ourselves with individuals known for their criminal activities, who have spent long periods in prison. However, we can still meet and entertain you on the dance floor, temporarily escaping our troubled history

And see it all makes sense, if I'm the king Then that should make you the fresh prince
When you consider everything, it becomes apparent that if I am the king, then you, as my loyal follower and supporter, are the fresh prince, deserving of recognition and success as well

Send for the driver You lookin' at the real soul survivor Like my man, JPeriod mixtape, the Man on Fire
Summon the driver, as you are witnessing a genuine survivor of soulful music, just like my friend JPeriod's mixtape titled 'Man on Fire'

Featurin' the guest that Jeff host You marvel at the up close and personal Meetin' of the minds You should read the signs
This track features Jazzy Jeff as the host, with me as the special guest. You are fascinated by the intimate and deep connection between our minds. Pay attention to the signs and understand the significance of this collaboration

This is what reclines The thoughts in my lazy boy Fit like a hand and glove From the city of brotherly love
This relaxed and comfortable environment fuels the thoughts in my mind, just like sitting in a reclining chair. It fits perfectly, like a hand wearing a glove. This creative atmosphere stems from the city known for brotherly love, Philadelphia
