All I know All I know All I know is I'm fine With love sincerely Even though campaigns smear me I clearly still am that guy (true), won't let shit die Never been a quitter, hard liquor Hold my own, and I take you it to the yard with ya From the first cry to the dirt lie And my face faces up to the Earth's sky And the view was bird-eye, I keep it real Even if I had a meal with a sneaker deal Rap now has a weaker feel So we make noise at the time that you're sleeping 'til Blowing through my reefer heels Feel at ease, when the winter breeze giving me the chills That's home, the backbone (Detroit) Way deeper than a rap song Peace to AD, my brothers for life Soon when I double the price, it's back on, its Guilt Where am I? How'd I get here? Who am I?
