You Know It's About
Ka Lyrics

Your skills are now at the point of spiritual insight
Your abilities have reached a level where you can see beyond the physical, into the spiritual realm.

It is now time for you reclaim our lost honor
The time has come for you to restore our lost reputation and pride.

They know it's about
They are aware that the focus is on something specific.

Rhymes known as limestone
My rhymes are hard and solid, like limestone.

The flow is the grout
The way I deliver my rhymes fills in any gaps, like grout does between tiles.

They hear my voice
My voice is heard by those who listen.

That pain, that gutter
The subject matter is gritty and intense, dealing with the hardships of life in the streets.

That 'caine, that flame, that butter (that butter, butter!)
The themes involve drugs, violence, and making money, as well as the allure of wealth and luxury.

This is how the night starts-
The setting is the beginning of the night, when things are just getting started.

Left behind my childish ways, deal in adult matters
I have grown out of childish behavior and am now dealing with mature, serious issues.

For petty pay, work every day like there's no Sabbath
I work tirelessly, even on days of rest, for very little compensation.

From Flatbush, the crack push, get popped for 'Lo fabrics
Coming from the Flatbush neighborhood, I am familiar with the drug trade and the risks involved, as well as the appeal of luxury clothing brands.

We bubble and shovel to the snow addicts
We sell drugs to those addicted to them, in order to make a living.

Porch archdiocese, each ave's its own parish
Every street has its own distinct character and community.

This my pulpit and I don't preach no bullshit
I use my music as a platform to speak my truth, without any fake or insincere messages.

Want beginner's luck? Slim bub for the full flip
If you want to succeed, you have to work for it and take risks, not rely on luck.

Fuck the planning; we stuck the landing
We don't waste time planning things out, we just go for it and make it happen.

Baggy clothes gladly tuck the cannon
I conceal a gun in my loose-fitting clothing, ready to use it if necessary.

Nothing diminish the business of the scrambling
Despite the risks and obstacles, we continue to hustle and make money in the drug trade.

Need spinach, we ain't finished till we handling
We need money, and won't stop until we are earning enough to survive.

(We ain't finished fuck that)
We won't give up or be deterred by challenges, no matter how difficult they may seem.

Never scraped the plate, ate it all
I have never settled for less than what I wanted or deserved in life, and always strived to achieve my goals.

Wanna reach for the ceiling? Play the wall
If you want to succeed and reach your full potential, you have to start from the bottom and work your way up.

We was boys on that back street
We grew up together in the same neighborhood, facing similar challenges and hardships.

Don't sing it, better bring it cause we pack heat
Don't talk about it, take action, because we are armed and dangerous.

Dumb smelly in the underbelly, trying to break through
We are struggling to escape poverty and desperation, and make a better life for ourselves.

When slabs crush didn't have much, we made do
Even in times of extreme hardship and scarcity, we found a way to survive and make the most of what we had.

When heaters flying leave you lying, I stayed true
Even in the face of deadly violence, I remained loyal and true to my values and identity.

Might find at nighttimes our lifeline debut
Our best and most lucrative opportunities often come at night, when most people are sleeping.

Curtains draw dirt poor but come work the store
Although we come from humble beginnings, we are determined to work hard and make a name for ourselves in the world.

Person heard you snore on a tour? you get hurt for sure
If you are not vigilant and prepared at all times, you will face serious consequences and danger.

Nimble creeping, simple greeting's words of war
We move quickly and quietly, and use seemingly innocent words as weapons in conflicts.

A show of rough from "Yo what up?" Observe your door
Even our casual greetings and social interactions are a display of toughness and intimidation.

Recruit a hard shooting guard, stay on point
We seek out skilled and capable allies to help us in our endeavors, and remain alert and focused.

They come for dinner it's a front and center display, long joint
When our enemies come to confront us, we are always ready with firepower and intimidation tactics.

Keep your wolf tickets, only cowards bought it
Don't make false claims or empty threats, because only weak and cowardly people do that.

Here apes flex, you take steps and power forward
We are strong and aggressive, while our enemies are weaker and less confident. We move forward with strength and purpose.

None rival, my catalog's a slum bible
No one can match my body of work, which serves as a guide for those living in the poor and troubled areas I grew up in.

Not the right course but with white horse, unbridled
Although our path may not be conventional or acceptable, we ride it with energy and freedom.

In the 'Ville pumping steel, hunt until we feel full
In our neighborhood, we are always armed and hunting for opportunities to make money and succeed.

Home cold as Poconos fill rodent holes with steel wool
Our homes are harsh and inhospitable, and we have to take extreme measures to survive and stay safe from vermin.

You capture your stature firing a full clip
Your reputation and success are only as good as your ability to use violence to control others.

We line the street beefing, trying to eat dying for bullshit
We fight and argue with others over small and meaningless things, simply because we are desperate for something to sustain us.

With the toaster racked, it roast your fabric
If you are armed with a gun, you can easily destroy someone else's reputation or life.

And friends if conflict ever ends we post traumatic
Even if we are able to overcome conflicts and violence, we will still carry emotional scars and trauma with us.

Quote for better, wrote the letter, "Sincerely yours"
Through my words and writing, I aim to inspire and motivate others to work towards a better future.

To heal the sores, where the real is forged
I use my creative work to address and heal the wounds of my community, which are the source of true strength and resilience.

Pen fire, from empire to golden state
My writing and creativity can take me from humble beginnings to great success and power.

I write it loud, incite a crowd, then motivate
Through my writing and performance, I can energize and uplift my audience, inspiring them to take action and achieve their goals.

Couple infactions, scratching prose admitting it
At times, I may make mistakes or be less than perfect in my writing, but I am always honest and genuine.

On quiet track rewrite that for those illiterate
For those who may not understand or relate to my writing, I can rework it to make it more accessible and meaningful.

Some are ready for action
Some people are prepared and capable of taking action in difficult situations.

Some are not
Others are not ready or able to handle the challenges and dangers of our environment.

We need emotional content
To truly connect with others and convey the depth of our experiences and struggles, we need to include emotion and vulnerability in our creations.
