I Wanna Know
Young Noble & E.D.I. Lyrics

Check it out, for those that know me
For those who know me, listen up

Ya wonder why I always play low key
You may wonder why I remain reserved

I know I got people and fans that like me
I acknowledge having fans and admirers

But all the noise and attention don't excite me
However, all the great attention doesn't please me

So I just lounge and play the D.L
So I keep to myself and remain hidden

In the crib with just me and a female
I enjoy being in my house with a female companion

I'm still slick besides the others
I still have an edge and finesse compared to others

Cause a player like me
Since I'm a smooth operator

Yo, I'm smoother than the Isley Brothers
I'm much smoother than The Isley Brothers themselves

When I'm on the scene I get feedback
Whenever I'm out, I tend to receive feedback and reactions

Brothers runnin up, wassup, where you be at?
People often approach me to ask where I've been

I be by myself just coolin
I prefer to be alone, relaxing

Cause I don't have time to sweat what someone else is doin
As I'm busy, I can't worry about what others are up to

Cause their not equal to me
Simply because they are not on my level

I got places to go, money to make, people to see
There are lots of things going on that need my attention

What'cha gonna do. The man is comin through
What are you going to do? I'm the one coming through

(You got it goin on) Hey yo, that ain't nothin new
You're telling me I'm impressive? That's nothing new

But my fame is stressin others
Despite that, my popularity causes stress to others

So you always got some that always want to test a brother
There will always be people aiming to test me

But I'm wildin at home kid
But actually, I'm making a great deal of money from home

I'm straight makin papes, so tell me what ya problem is
I'm simply making a load of cash, so what's the issue?

Ya talk about unity, but when I turn my back
You say we should be united, but when I look away

You talkin about what ya want to do to me
You begin plotting what you want to do me

Yeah, you could keep riffin
You can keep talking all you want

I ain't the one, I sent ya home with ya teeth missin
I am the wrong person to pick a fight with, I'll knock your teeth out

So stop runnin at the mouth
So stop talking excessively

Straight up and down
To be blunt and honest

You, you know what I'm about
You already know what I stand for

I'm out to get dough
My goal is to make money

Makin brothers petro
I am making other guys jealous

Some suckas don't like me
Some guys don't like me

But I could care less though
But I couldn't care less about their opinions

Cause I'm a command y'all
I have influence over you all

I'm smackin' brothers up like Puerto Ricans play handball
I am defeating guys like a Puerto Rican playing handball

But I ain't the funny type that joke around, huh
But I am not the type to play around or joke

I gotta get my money right
I have to manage my money well

And I got the right game
I have the right skills or tactics

I'm definetely the wrong man to invite to a dice game
I am the wrong guy to play dice games with

Cause I got strategy
I have a plan or effective tactics

I'm rollin head cracks, trips
I am winning with high point numbers in dice games

And makin all the brothers mad at me
This is causing other guys to become angry with me

They might as well give up
They might as well just quit trying

The way I'm takin all the dough, this might as well be a stick up
I am taking all the money, it's like a robbery

Cause it's a mans thing
Because this is something men do

The way I got things sold
I have things well-organized and under control

Yo, they can't do a damn thing
Those other guys cannot do anything about it

Tryin to gain props
Trying to gain respect or admiration

I ain't the one to see
I am not someone to mess with

Ya clowns mess around and get played like a drum machine
You jokers will end up getting played or used

You gotta find a better way
You guys should try a different approach

I'm pullin everything from your car to your resume
I have access to and control over everything about you

Cause I don't play clown
Because I don't engage in childish or foolish behavior

I'm tryin to get mine
I am trying to gain what is rightfully mine

That's why my face stay frown
That's why I tend to have a serious expression

I don't smile or try to play my foul
I'm not trying to deceive people, so I don't smile

I light your boys like ?tile?
I will hurt or destroy anyone trying to interfere with me

Hey yo, you know my style
You are already familiar with my attitude or approach

So just slow down, cause y'all can't throw down
Just relax, because you can't match my skills

And y'all can't accept that a brothers makin dough now
You guys are struggling to come to terms with my success

And I'm livin better, true
I am actually living a great life

I makin more noise than the loudest heavy metal group
I am making such an impact that it's even louder than heavy metal music

It's the cool man, brother with the smooth plan
I'm the collected, smooth guy with the effective plan

That's why I'm seeing more papers than a newstand
This explains why I am making more money than a newstand

So peep it, don't try to run and speak it
Listen to me, don't try to evade or hide from my message

Point blank that keep my way about secret
I'm being direct and hiding my tactics from others

While brothers is packin still, actin ill
While guys are still getting violent and misbehaving

I'm on the D.L, with a female
I am remaining low-key, staying indoors with a female

And I'm stackin bills
And I am adding to my wealth

How ya livin? Yeah I'm livin swell
How are you doing? I am doing quite well

Cause a brother like me
Because someone like me

Yo I'm ringin bells
Is causing lots of attention or stirring things up

No doubt, I got clout
Without any hesitation, I am influential

Ain't no future in frontin
It's not worth pretending to be successful

Yo, you know what I'm about
You already know my mentality or way of doing things

Knockin brothers off
Defeating or overpowering guys

Knockin brothers out (3X)
Knocking out guys who oppose me

Yo, you know what I'm about(repeat all 2X)
You already know what I stand for (repeated twice)
