I Know
The Two Lyrics

Go back a few years now
Reflecting on the past and looking back to a few years ago.

I knew it all
Confidence in one's knowledge and ability to make a difference.

I was going to change the world
Aspirations to make a positive impact on the world.

By standing tall
Having the confidence and belief in oneself to achieve their goals.

You'd be walking down my street
A hypothetical scenario of encountering someone in a public setting.

I'd tell you my name
Introducing oneself to a stranger to establish a connection.

I'd tell you what to think
Attempting to influence someone's thoughts and opinions.

And how you should change
Offering guidance on how someone can improve themselves.

And I wish I knew then what I know now
Regret for past actions and wishing to have had more knowledge and insight at that time.

Things are different and things have changed
The world and circumstances have evolved and shifted over time.

I'm not the same
Personal growth and development have altered one's perspective and behavior.

I've a different view of the world
A new perspective and understanding of the world and its complexities.

And it has a different name
The new perspective has given rise to a different way of thinking and referring to things.

I'll be marching down your street
Taking action and making one's presence known in a public setting.

Shout out my name
Asserting oneself and drawing attention to their views and opinions.

You can think what you think
Respecting others' opinions and acknowledging their right to their own thoughts.

But it's just not a game
The issues being addressed are serious and require real action and change.

If you're not part of the solution
The importance of actively contributing to making things better and being a part of the solution to problems.

You're part of the problem
Not contributing to positive change makes one complicit in issues and part of the problem.

And I wish I knew then what I know now
Reemphasizing the regret for past actions and wishing to have had more knowledge and insight at that time.

And I wish I knew then what I know now
Continuing to reflect and emphasize the wish for greater understanding and wisdom in the past.

And I wish I knew then what I know now
Repeating the sentiment and regret for not having enough knowledge and insight in the past.

And I wish I knew then what I know now
Continuing to emphasize the importance of past knowledge and wisdom in shaping one's views and actions.

And I wish I knew then what I know now
Reiterating the desire to have possessed greater knowledge and insight in the past to make a positive impact on the world.

And I wish I knew then what I know now
Emphasizing the regret for past actions and the wish for greater understanding and wisdom to make positive change.
