I Know
The Madd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Yeah
Keep that shit low-key, Tay
Yeah
You meet the right plug, nowadays it make you rich

Yeah
You need to chase the paper, same way you chase a
Yeah
Ay, you meet the right plug, nowadays it make you rich

You need to chase the paper, same way you chase a bitch
I got a small circle nowadays, cause niggas snitch
This shit ain't come overnight, I had to work for this
I had to bust major ass, I had to hurt for this

Niggas around me, they gon' put you on a shirt for this
Think it's a game and you might end up in the dirt for this
I had to learn to hit that kitchen, had to work my wrists
I see Patron and Percocets when I take a piss

I probably end up in the feds before I chase a bitch
I got two books under the bed, I hope they make a flip
Exotic straight from California, that shit made a trip
I got that recipe, my nigga, I can make a brick

Over these tracks and through these streets, bitch, I can make a hit
I shoot to my action right away, shit, I don't make them sit
I ride with a scale in my car so I can weigh this shit
I really got that chopper ridin' with me, I spray some shit

No time for pullin' over for the police, Andale this bitch , bitch I don't
work for Frito-Lay's, but I be makin' chips
Pull up on them, serve, thank you, come again, and then I dip
I met a bitch from out of town, she helped me bust a script

My life like a movie, play my role, I stick to the script
They won't even call your phone if your money ain't right
I'ma cook it on a stove, they gon' smoke it in a pipe
Before I rode a foreign, used to catch the bus and ride a bike

Now I catch a flight to get paid to record and write
I survive the battlefield for real and, bitch, I earn stripes
Everyday my life is like a gamble, bitch, I roll the dice
Nowadays when people say that love, you gotta think twice

You wasn't in the trap with me when we was eatin' sugar rice
You wasn't in that kitchen when I first learned how to cook it right
And when they tax you for this bowl, I could've bought it twice
You took your first 20 bands and you bought some ice

Me, I took my first 20 bands and I flipped some white
That paper flexin' went on the gram, my phone did tonight
And I ain't do no PPP loan, I just know some hypes
They like to drop a 20 in they horn when they smoke they pipe

My action like to sleep all day cause they smoke all night
My phone ring whenever they in need so I'm woke all night
You on the net stalkin' a bitch so you broke all night
My mom used to drink all day and do coke all night

I got some family I don't fuck with and we both alright
I put that blue cook in the wood and I toke all night
You like to go live for the gram and you joke all night
But my plug, you decent on the number so you know my phone

Bam, I slap the 50, put it up, shit, I ain't put it on the gram
If my relatives turn police, I ain't fuckin' with the fam
I just left Oak Creek, I'm on my way to Beaverdam
Looked up to my pops and my uncles, I grew up to be the man

My time is money, you gon' have to pay a cost to see the man
I wanted to be like O-Dog, then look up to Peter Pan
I lost some people that I love that I just hope I see again
Like Tony Braxton with that Glock, they wonder if you'll breathe again

If I don't make it with this rap, it's back to sellin' ps again
I bought a weapon in the club and I didn't have to sneak it in
I bless the packs like back to back like they didn't let the deacon in
Juice takin' all day, I think he on that drink again

They pull up in a Continental, then they back that Lincoln in
I whip the split up in the kitchen, wholw housd stink again
I'm finna use that cold water, so put on the sink again
I bring that old school back like Jerry Curls and Minks is in





I cop that black and gold Benz like the one that Meech was in
Yeah
