Talk
The Turtles Featuring Flo & Eddie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

That knowledge we got it, so knowledge we talk it
This you know you know, you know
That knowledge we got it, so knowledge we talk it
This you know you know, you know
This ain't baller talk, this is knowledge talk
Everything we got is what our knowledge bought
First you stacking up the wisdom then you call the shots
& then you stay driven even when you got it locked
This ain't baller talk, this is knowledge talk
Everything we got is what our knowledge bought
First you stacking up the wisdom then you call the shots
& then you stay driven even when you got it locked
This ain't rapping man, we are giving knowledge
But y'all don't believe me 'til y'all see what's in my wallet
But I ain't celebrating when I get deposits
I'm staying patient cuz getting dollars it isn't solace
But it's helps though, still fight to let the self go
It helps that my daughters stuck to me like I'm Velcro
So for them I had to make my mental health grow
It's paradox I let go of wealth and then my wealth grow
& now they track my every move like my cellphone
They can't keep up, I work like I had myself cloned
My work ethic is well known, mind sharp & well honed
The eye of the storm is where I find myself home
Because I fought for solace knowing downfall is promised
But kept dreaming no matter what falls upon us
Cuz downfalls acknowledged where fear is all demolished
& used to spot the knowledge, now dreams are all accomplished
This ain't baller talk, this is knowledge talk
Everything we got is what our knowledge bought
First you stacking up the wisdom then you call the shots
& then you stay driven even when you got it locked
This ain't baller talk, this is knowledge talk
Everything we got is what our knowledge bought
First you stacking up the wisdom then you call the shots
& then you stay driven even when you got it locked
That knowledge we got it, so knowledge we talk it
This you know you know, you know
That knowledge we got it, so knowledge we talk it
This you know you know, you know
Young culture, let's talk percentages
NFTs, crypto currencies, and businesses
Your cash working like a soldier to your benefit
Then get a trust so your kids can inherit it
No probate, one day come quicker than your thoughts pass
Strategic all ways, I purchased knowledge from my past
Expensive cost for elaborate thoughts
Some lost they lives on the hustles we thought
Would get us to the same thing that the dope dealers bought
But we don't move the same, life change reflect on what was taught
Young homie said he throwing shots and that's what he caught
Knowledge in the knowing action speaks more than talk
Million dollars worth of game in a verse
Repetition is the key same thing til it works
Poverty ran in my family until it ran into me
Not a slave to my emotions, I master me
This ain't baller talk, this is knowledge talk
Everything we got is what our knowledge bought
First you stacking up the wisdom then you call the shots
& then you stay driven even when you got it locked
This ain't baller talk, this is knowledge talk
Everything we got is what our knowledge bought
First you stacking up the wisdom then you call the shots
& then you stay driven even when you got it locked
That knowledge we got it, so knowledge we talk it
This you know you know, you know
That knowledge we got it, so knowledge we talk it
This you know you know, you know
What you want we got that
Stacking up the profit
'Til we're where the top's at
Knowledge man we talk that
What you want we got that
Stacking up the profit
'Til we're where the top's at
Knowledge man we talk that
That knowledge we got it, so knowledge we talk it
This you know you know, you know




That knowledge we got it, so knowledge we talk it
This you know you know, you know
