What You Know by Treveion Lyrics
{ Verse 1 }
What you know about gang banging at the age of 16
With anger probs no ambition and very low self esteem
A hard head think he know it all don't know a thing
Ready for action but ain’t ready for what his actions my bring
Was damaging my life I wasn't stable I was losing battles
Of mental illness was only inches sinking under gravel
Pushing weight across map trying to dodge feds why we travel
We was after bags not trying to see the judge slam his gavel
Against the law you couldn't tell me shit I was a bad listener
My ways showed me I was on the road to being a prisoner
Locked inside a cell trapped out my mind and turning sinister
Pushing myself far away from people wanting my signature
Underestimated myself thought I would never make it
Separated from my niggas got relocated and more creative
Old ways got terminated couldn’t become incarcerated
Locked focus got motivated til I'm Grammy nominated
Never forgot where I came from I'm from that dirty strip
Made a name for myself then and now I get respect off rip
I'm still that psycho nigga think before you move your lip
Stuck to the code ain't never flipped grabbed onto my dreams and locked the grip
A lot of nigga run they mouths but wouldn't last in my sneakers
I played the field forreal them niggas sat on the bleachers
I'm the illest nigga that you ever heard come out your speakers
I did this shit on my own ain't ask nobody for no features
From sun up to sun down from the hottest times to the coldest
We was trapping to pay the bills to avoid eviction notices
Everyday was a struggle we used it for motivation
To get us out our location into better looking places
Ducking and dodging the feds to avoid catching them cases
Brainless when they snatch and ask us to give out them statements
We hustled to stay alive they ain’t give it up then we take it
Everyday was a new problem wasn’t no running we had to face it you feel me
{ Hook }
Tell me what you know about it
Tell me what you know about it
Tell me what you know about it
Tell me what you know about it
Tell me what you know about it
Tell me what you know about it
Tell me what you know about it, stuck at the bottom and you just trying to find a way up out it
[ Verse 2 ]
I use to go into stores come out with nothing I had to switch my life
Looked at shit I like then put it back I couldn't afford the price
Could’ve went back to my old ways I knew that shit wasn't right
I had to take chances follow my dreams and get up on that mic
Now I'm making good clean money and adding to the height
You'll only understand if you been broke and damn near lost that fight
Been through shit you couldn’t fathom say you could've managed but I doubt it
I spit facts you can't relate if you don't know nothing about it nigga
{ Hook }
Tell me what you know about it
Tell me what you know about it
Tell me what you know about it
Tell me what you know about it
Tell me what you know about it
Tell me what you know about it
Tell me what you know about it, stuck at the bottom and you just trying to find a way up out it
