[Intro]
Let 'em know-ow-ow
Let 'em know-ow-ow
[Verse 1: Curtis Foster]
Sometimes I think I’m goin' backwards (backwards)
Yeah I been plowing through my green like a tractor
Everybody on that fake shit, yeah they actors (they actors)
I’m just here to spread my word like a pastor, yeah that’s word
How come everybody thinks they know me like an icon?
My God, y’all stuck in the past like an iPod
You missing the picture? You better go get the Nikon
Having trouble focusing? Here, lemme turn the lights on
Since I was young I was taught that I’d never get to bе
Everything that I wanna be, nevеr was in my destiny
I’m still remembering everything they said to me
But I’m the only person determining what I get to be (That’s right)
Rap game Izuku
You can call me Deku
I got business to attend to, turning yo insolence to checks, ooh!
That’s how I make sense of this; dollars too haha get it, bitch?
Life can only feed off the energy that’cha givin’ it (whoo!)
[Chorus: Curtis Foster]
Used to let ‘em live rent-free in my head
Overanalyzing what they said
Basing my worth on someone’s words
That ain’t the move, no, no
Yo Curtis why you do ‘em like that?
If they fuckin' wit me, I’mma do it right back
Do what they manage, I use it to my advantage
Let ‘em know-ow-ow
[Verse 2: Konsept the Emcee]
I used to fuck with everybody
Now it's just the ones I came with (ones I came with)
Minus a couple clowns 'cus niggas was on some lame shit (yeah)
Expressing things they coulda stayed in they own lane with
See when you a boss, then a boss ain't gotta explain shit (nah)
Cropped out the picture
Since niggas tryna frame shit
I pulled you out the jam
And you jumped back into that same pit
The devil's in the details
That's why I go insane
It's murder in all degrees
I'll show you how hot the flame get (Let's go)
And since the first time I stepped in a booth
I been a truth
They all tryna fit in my shoes
See they never evolve
'Cus all they know is mimicry
Analyze my delivery
Restrategize and hit repeat
Thought I was mad
Never that, I'm a man though
And it ain't hard for me to tell you little niggas fans bro (Fans bro)
But once I'm outta town them free lessons is canceled
Pray for my demise, I'mma focus on my bands ho
[Chorus: Curtis Foster]
Used to let ‘em live rent-free in my head
Overanalyzing what they said
Basing my worth on someone’s words
That ain’t the move, no, no
Yo Curtis why you do ‘em like that?
If they fuckin' wit me, I’mma do it right back
Do what they manage, I use it to my advantage
Let ‘em know-ow-ow
[Verse 3: Curtis Foster]
I don’t got no time for fake love
No artificial sweet like Splenda, I take off (bye-bye)
I’m all about my cheese like queso
And when I hear ‘em talking cheap
I’m like kay, so? They know (They do)
That when they comin’ outta pocket with they comments
I’m charging back like it’s credit cards in a wallet
Sometimes I’m bottoming out like it’s the end of the world apocalypse (Aah!)
Never down 'n out, don’t count me out, no, we’re not doing calculus
No, not me, I’mma get mine, 'n I’mma get by
Just fine, no lie, I raise a finger to the sky
That’s the middle one, you like it? (Do ya?)
You’re batshit if you think that you’re robbin' me of my energy
Yeah, you think you’re my enemy
But the way that you motivate me you’re practically my sidekick
Acting obsessed with me like a sidebitch
So keep my name in your mouth as long as you want to
And while you’re at it, don't forget to cup my balls too
[Chorus: Curtis Foster]
Used to let ‘em live rent-free in my head
Overanalyzing what they said
Basing my worth on someone’s words
That ain’t the move, no, no
Yo Curtis why you do ‘em like that?
If they fuckin' wit me, I’mma do it right back
Do what they manage, I use it to my advantage
Let ‘em know-ow-ow
