The Knock by The Tongue Lyrics
[Chorus]
They try to tell you
That you are nothin’
You don’t mean nothin’ to them, nothin’
Less than nothin’, you ain’t nothin’ at all
Nothin’ at all
You better tell them
Their time is comin’
It’s revolution, baby, we might have to
Go ahead and knock on ya door
[Verse 1]
You better know how real it is
Think about what the feelin’ is
That you get in ya gut from the very first second
That you hear a record from a true lyricist
Soundin’ like a whole lotta fearlessness
Shinin’ like I drove out a dealership
Stay reppin’ E.T., I know you hear me, bitch
The joker and the king is who you dеalin’ with
Young Einstein, ya, who’s serious?
This my time, you just witnеsses
To my crimes, I keep extra clicks
Fight to make sure the right people hearin’ this
Y’all wanted the hardcore? Well here it is
You gamble with me, boy, I take your chips
Ain’t a motherfuckin’ day I ain’t take a risk
You think Tony fuckin’ Hawk ain’t break his wrist?
I can take the pain, just don’t take the piss
I gotta take the chance, The Tongue tastes success
We gotta take the power back, fuck the system
Said I prayed to God, but he must of missed it
So I put it on my back and I walk my path
Smile on my face as I walk on glass
Fire in my eyes as I speak my heart
My word and my soul never torn apart
One day the revolution’s bound to start
One day the revolution’s got to start
I spit my revelations at the dark
You hit record and capture art
Been here before, now let me come again
I burn the world down with just a pen
One day the revolution must begin
And this the knock, now let us in
The knock
[Chorus]
They try to tell you
That you are nothin’
You don’t mean nothin’ to them, nothin’
Less than nothin’, you ain’t nothin’ at all (The knock)
Nothin’ at all
[Post-Chorus]
I’m high, I’m leanin’
Tryna find the Garden of Eden
We cold, we lost
God has forget us but we still don’t know
I’m high, I’m leanin’
Tryna find the Garden of Eden
We cold
[Verse 2]
Yeah, yeah
You hear me comin
Down the motherfuckin’ street
With some big black boots on
And this motherfuckin’ beat
We don’t fear nothin’
And we scream it to the sky
‘Cause the world need to hear
We fear no darkness, you are light
I’m a diamond in the sky
I’m a fire in the night
Like the spark that burn the forest down
I do this by design
Revolution on my mind
You can feel it’s almost time
Dyin’, fightin’ for Nirvana
See you on the other side, time
Ra
[Outro]
