You Know
Iconic Bond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You either know or you don't /
You can either grow or you choke /
You can maybe sink ~
Or maybe you can float ~
There's only /
2 types of people on this boat /
That's winners or losers /
Sprinters or cruisers /
You can spend your whole life being that mover ~
Or you can spend your whole life being a consumer ~
That's all up to you baby /
I can tell you i been feeling like a winner lately /
I ain't neva getting dazed ~
I'm in a phase ~
About to blaze ~
Through this whole track ~
I'm going straight ~
Don't get in my way /
Cuz when the attack starts ~
There ain't gonna be no damn sabotage ~
Even is you wearing that green and brown camouflage /
Get the ammo /
Maybe forget the flannel /

And this my control panel /

Checking mates until there's no more checkers ~
With the effort that i give ~
As a man of letters ~

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in "You Know" by Iconic Bond convey a strong message about taking ownership of one's life and choices. The opening lines set the tone by highlighting the dichotomy between knowing and not knowing, growing versus remaining stagnant, and the decision to either sink or float in life. The imagery of being on a boat with only winners or losers, sprinters or cruisers, emphasizes the idea that we are ultimately responsible for our own paths and outcomes. The contrast between being a mover or a consumer suggests the importance of actively pursuing one's goals rather than passively consuming what life presents.


The lyrics touch upon the artist's personal journey of feeling like a winner and being unshakeable in their determination. The mention of being in control and having a "control panel" asserts a sense of power and agency in navigating through challenges and obstacles. The refusal to be deterred by distractions or sabotage reinforces the artist's unwavering focus and determination to succeed on their terms. The imagery of blazing through the track and owning everything they stand upon reflects a strong sense of self-assurance and ambition.


As the song progresses, the artist continues to assert their confidence and commitment to their craft. The references to ruffling feathers and clocking detractors demonstrate a readiness to confront and overcome any opposition or doubt. The lyrics also touch on the idea of perseverance and dedication, with the artist vowing to keep going until the beat drops, symbolizing their relentless drive and passion for their art. The mention of overcoming rebellion and obsession with material gains speaks to a deeper message about staying true to oneself and prioritizing personal growth over external validation.


Overall, "You Know" by Iconic Bond is a powerful anthem of self-assurance, resilience, and determination. The repetition of "You already know" serves as a reminder to trust in one's instincts and abilities, while also challenging listeners to embrace their potential and take control of their destinies. The song's confident cadence and assertive lyrics make it a motivational and empowering piece that encourages listeners to push past limitations, embrace challenges, and strive for greatness.
