I Know
Webbie Lyrics

Say Mel and T Mayne
Acknowledging Mel and T Mayne as respected individuals

I'm a make a nigga feel on this
I'm going to impress and have an impact on someone

Top and bottom never walk in my neighborhood
No one from the upper or lower class ventures into my neighborhood

(South baton rouge)
(Referring to the specific location as South Baton Rouge)

The candy lady out of business 'cause they take her goods
The local dealer is no longer in business because they confiscated her drugs

Play with me it's guaranteed, ooh, I'm a lay ya down
If someone messes with me, I will surely retaliate and take them out

Gotta watch my back across my tracks, God know, I know these clowns
I have to be cautious because I know there are people who want to harm me

God know I know
I am aware and confident that God knows and understands

I feel like can't nobody fuck with me
I believe that I am unbeatable and unmatched by anyone

God got my back so
God supports and protects me in every situation

Lil Boosie keep his mind at ease
Lil Boosie stays calm and relaxed because he trusts in God

And God kno I kno
God is aware that I am fully aware

That somebody gon hate on me
There will always be people who dislike and hate me

But God kno I'm thug so
God knows that I am tough and resilient

You kno lil Boosie go and get skeet
You know Lil Boosie will take care of business and handle any challenges

Now God know my situation, he know what I be facin'
God understands my circumstances and the challenges I am dealing with

He know I'm so impatient when it come to money makin'
God knows that I become restless and eager when it comes to making money

From school, to the blocks, from the tool, to the rocks
From my time in school to navigating the streets, from using firearms to selling drugs

For the lil nigga with that glock ridin' around in somethin' hot
Referring to a young individual carrying a gun and driving an expensive car

Now it's 'bout time we hit our knees and tell God truth
It is time for us to humble ourselves and pray sincerely to God

Can't stop the way we livin' just help us make it through
We cannot change our lifestyle, but we ask for God's guidance and protection

When I die take me through, up to heaven up with you
When I pass away, please guide me to heaven to be with you, God

Gotta holla at my daddy and my nigga griles too
I need to communicate with my deceased father and my friend Griles in heaven

And God kno, and God know I'm thug life, you fuckin' right
God is well aware that I live a tough and dangerous life, you better believe it

So if nigga play with me of the op I gotta get him right
If someone tries to provoke me or my enemies, I will take them out

And God got my back so, when I act wow
God supports and protects me, even when I behave wildly

I'm comin' home safely through the back do
I always make it home safely by sneaking in through the back door

The murder rate is sky high, nigga holla ride or die
The number of killings is extremely high, so one must express strong loyalty

These youngin' sling that iron it ain't no mo takin' pride
These young individuals openly carry firearms and do not value their lives

So put yo fist up in yo pockets and them bullets in the chamber
Keep your hands concealed and be ready to shoot when necessary

'Cause niggas slingin' iron like the lone ranger
People are carrying guns everywhere, behaving like the lone ranger

Mayne, it's murder, murder, kill, kill
My reality is filled with violence and death

On the corner where the marijuana followed by the bill
In my neighborhood, drugs, specifically marijuana, lead to financial gain

Some niggas cut by delja, some niggas cut by chil
Some individuals use Delja drugs, while others use Chil drugs

Some niggas eat them delpids and some niggas eat them pills
Some people consume Delja pills, while others consume regular pills

Gotta get it how I live in the southside
I have to hustle and survive in the southern part of town

I'm thuggin' with my cow hide
I am engaging in criminal activities while wearing cowhide clothing

I'm fresh when I come outside
I always look stylish and fashionable when I step out

You talk shit got hog tied
If you talk negatively about me, you will face severe consequences

God know I know these niggas
God is fully aware that I understand the behavior and intentions of these individuals

Don't make me show these niggas
I will prove and demonstrate to these individuals what I am capable of

Pray for these niggas keep me away from these niggas
I ask for prayers to help me stay away from and protected from these individuals

And I
And personally, I

God kno all the killas
God knows and understands all the murderers and criminals

He done walked with all them niggas
God has been with and guided all those individuals

He done talked with all them niggas
God has had conversations with all those individuals

Before they went sparked them trigger
God had interactions with them before they pulled the trigger

He ain't tear ya up in church but
God didn't condemn them in church, but

God pretty eyes done covered up some dirt
God's forgiveness has hidden and forgiven their sins

Plus he kept a thug alert
Additionally, God has maintained a sense of awareness and vigilance in me

For these bitch ass niggas, these haters these rapists
God has kept me aware and cautious of these weak individuals, haters, and rapists

These niggas in the swamp swear to God they're alligators
These individuals in the dangerous environment claim to be fierce and powerful

Me an my niggas paper chasers, shit, we ain't stuntin'
My crew and I are focused on making money, we have no time for distractions

We do wat we gotta do, to get that money
We are willing to do whatever it takes to obtain wealth and financial stability

And God kno my past
God is intimately aware of my past and my previous actions

I'm itchin' to kill, gimme a reason I will
I have a strong desire to commit acts of violence, so if provoked, I will

I'll end up grippin' a steal
I will resort to holding and using a firearm

And God kno my temper
God knows how easily I become angry and lose control

My temper like a bubble
My anger can quickly escalate and burst like a bubble

You bust it, you in trouble
If you cross the line and provoke me, you will face severe consequences

Only God kno, it's hard yo, I'll lay up in ya yard wow
Only God understands how difficult it is, I will come and confront you at your home

I'll camouflage myself with my camouflage cargo
I will disguise myself using camouflage clothing and equipment

The street ain't promised to us niggas in that dirty south
Life on the streets isn't guaranteed to us individuals living in the impoverished South

Thas why I'm ridin' with that nine, I'm tryin make it out
That's why I carry a gun, I'm trying to escape this dangerous environment

And it's hard to live, I'm a community where ain't no fuckin' unity
It is challenging to survive in a community where there is no sense of unity

They always say I'm dead, they try to ruin me
People are constantly spreading rumors about me, trying to destroy my reputation

So Boosie be on other shit
So I, Boosie, focus on different priorities

Like jew-el-are-is and poppin' Chris
I am interested in expensive jewelry and drinking expensive champagne

And Mac on you a model bitch
And Mac, another individual, is pursuing relationships with attractive women

Had a hoe that swallow dick
I used to be involved with a woman who performed oral sex

Since 12 I saw a lot of shit, God kno I kno
Since I was twelve years old, I have witnessed and experienced many disturbing things, God is aware that I understand

Witness a man get straight sprayed right in front of the store
I saw a man being shot and killed right in front of the store

So I get a blunt and I roll it, hit the block actin' a donkey
To cope with the trauma, I smoke marijuana and act foolishly in my neighborhood

Killin' my own people, servin' my own uncles
I am involved in violence against people from my own community, even my own family members

And I
And personally, I

Our father who art in heaven
Our heavenly father

Hollow be thy name
May your name be glorified and respected

Thou kingdom come
May your kingdom arrive and manifest

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
May your will be carried out both on earth and in heaven

But we stay reppin'
Nevertheless, we continue to represent our community

But we stay they got beasts up in my section
Although they consider us dangerous, they have individuals with similar behavior in their own community

I was raised bysome thugs, got rich off the D
I grew up surrounded by criminals and got wealthy from illegal activities

80 grams took my nigga, I'm missin' ya petey
My friend Petey was killed due to drug-related issues, I miss him

God kno, I need to send my niggas some pictures this
God is aware that I should send pictures to my friends

And som change to keep nigga fresh kicks on his feet
And some money to ensure my friends can buy new sneakers

And God kno he raised me
God knows that he has played a significant role in raising and influencing me

When donkey went jonsin'
When I became desperate and addicted to drugs

Bronson kept me wide open and that's a fact
Bronson, another person, kept me awake and alert, this is true

But I kno they gon hate tho
But I know that they will still hate me

'Cause I got blocks and raps
Because I have both physical territory (blocks) and skills in rapping

And blocks of work so you can call me lego
And I have a lot of drugs to sell, like blocks, so you can compare me to Lego blocks

It's consequences, jumpin' fences
There are consequences for our actions, always escaping and eluding capture

'Cause the narcs tryin' lynch us and they missin' us by inches
The police are actively pursuing us, trying to capture us, but they often miss us by very little

The judge the one who sentence make a nigga out a menace
The judge is the one who determines a sentence and turns a person into a dangerous individual

Commisary low so we take a nigga tennis
When our commissary funds are low, we resort to taking a person's sneakers

A black eye is just like a scratch where I was raised
Suffering a black eye is considered a minor injury where I come from

Niggas handle they business if they ever felt played
In my community, individuals take matters into their own hands if they feel disrespected

The beasts is crooked, the preacher crooked
The police are corrupt, even the preacher is corrupt

Saw my teacher at the strip club, damn, the teachers crooked
I saw my teacher at a strip club, which showed that even teachers can be corrupt

Now if don't nobody now
Now if nobody else knows

God kno
God knows

Nigga you a hood rat
You are a low-class and promiscuous individual

God kno
God knows

A nigga try to bring you down
Someone is trying to negatively impact your life and reputation

He right on side you
He is right by your side

God kno
God knows

Nigga tryin' steal yo girl you had fears
Someone is attempting to steal your romantic partner, causing you to worry

God kno
God knows
