Knight
Earl Sweatshirt feat. Domo Genesis Lyrics

Guess with a few exceptions, yeah, I'm living honest
I mostly try to be honest in my life, with a few exceptions.

Except I promised my momma that I would finish college, started chasing profit
I promised my mom I would finish college, but I got sidetracked chasing money.

Sorry ma, I ain't forget about it but if money evil
Mom, I haven't forgotten about my promise, but I'm conflicted about whether money is evil or not.

I'm hoping that you could see through all the drama and watch me get these dollars
I hope you can look past the drama and see that I'm making money.

And my ambition burn so hot, it's like I'm bleeding lava
I'm very ambitious, to the point where it feels like my drive is burning me.

Haters be pleading me to stop but I don't even bother
People tell me to stop, but I don't listen to them.

Though my approach is seeming awkward, I could see it proper
Even though my way of doing things seems weird, I know it's the right way for me.

See success and I just see the fact that I don't need a father
I'm successful on my own, and I don't need my dad to be there for me.

Doms hotter than the drop of Harry Potter shit
Domo Genesis is really good at rapping.

Pedal to the metal, high-level, full throttle shit
He's really going hard and pushing himself to the limit.

Still searching for a reason why niggas ain't acknowledge this
He's still trying to figure out why people aren't recognizing his skills.

I'm lost in an era where real shit does not exist
He feels like he's surrounded by fake people and fake things.

I hate the sway of things, I'm everyday cooling it
He doesn't like how things are, but he's trying to take it easy anyway.

I'm getting blazed and laughing at the way they overdoing shit
He's smoking weed and laughing at how people are taking things too seriously.

I'm just a old soul sticking to a newer script
He feels like he's got an old soul, but he's trying to be true to himself and his generation.

I guess I got to prove this shit, I'm truly too legit to quit
He knows he needs to work hard to show people what he's capable of, but he's confident in his skills.

I'd like to send a shout to the fathers that didn't raise us
He wants to give a shout out to the fathers who weren't there for their kids.

To every ho who hated, now unable to say much
He wants to acknowledge the people who used to hate on him, but now can't say anything.

To critics doing dirty with comments and nigga paid for an apartment
He's calling out critics who make negative comments about him, even though they don't know what it's like to struggle for money.

Yesterday off some songs I haven't yet made up
He's already getting attention for songs he hasn't even made yet.

Black Cressida, pay up
He's telling a company to pay him what they owe him.

Bars going hard as the ashtray where I place guts
His rap bars are as strong as the ashes in his ashtray.

Shouts to the eses who paid pesos to play us, riding in the barrio
He's showing appreciation for his fans who paid to see him perform, even if they're from different backgrounds.

Huff and puff blowing kush in Huf clothing articles,
He's smoking weed and wearing Huf clothing.

Kenny rolling blunts, got us stuck like a barnacle
Kenny is rolling weed and they're all getting really high.

To the bottom of your shit, ironic cause the audios
He's delving deep into people's emotions, even though he only hears the audio side of things.

As nautical as ships, look momma, look momma
He's making a comparison to ships, and saying that his mom should be proud of him.

Look, your product is legit, I promise, honest
He's telling his mom that he's doing good, and she can trust him.

Karma got me balling up my fist
He's angry about something and he's starting to get aggressive.

'Til I demolish your clique, pardon the clips
He's going to destroy his enemies, and apologizing for the violence.

I am honestly as bomb as it gets, regardless of who talking
He's confident in his abilities and doesn't care what other people say.

I'm farming, harvesting hits
He's working hard to create successful songs.

Just me and Domo and lit marijuana to split between two of us
He's smoking weed with Domo Genesis.

Rocking boxes easy as warming some ramen noodles up
He's doing well in his career, almost as easily as heating up ramen noodles.

So, searching for a way to state it right
He's trying to express himself clearly.

Young, black, and jaded, vision hazy strolling through the night
He's young, black, and feeling disillusioned as he walks around at night.
