Now They Know
Song by Mogli the Iceburg
People from back home still can't believe that we have come this far
Same people never thought that boy would go this hard
Give these people somethin' now they know, now they know
You might not respect the image but you will respect the form
Sayin' ooh don't try to tell me what this squad can't do, yeah
You should've known that the tribe is on the move
As a dog returns to his vomit
A fool repeats in his foolishness and you actin like you got it
But I can see you still new to this
I see you talkin' down to your brothers
Always takin' shortcuts tryin' to get rich
But when one blind man leads another
Then they all gon' fall straight down face down in a ditch, boy
Ain't nobody really trying to comin' at me again
True God flow, got the rhythm inside of me
Gotta go, super hard for the mission in front of me
I don't know, if you listen when I'm spittin' it properly
Gotta show my generation the revelation within
Gotta lead 'em to the freedom outta grip of their sin
Sayin' that you woke, but it's all a joke
If you tryin' to cope and you ain't put your hope in Him
Leave it at that
Ooh I'm just paddin' my stats
Boy I'm the realest and illest and I just happen to rap
Scratch that, this beat has got me all up in my flesh on the mic
So when you ask me how's it goin' I respond and I'm like, one time
People from back home still can't believe that we have come this far
Same people never thought that boy would go this hard
Give these people somethin' now they know, now they know
You might not respect the image but you will respect the flow
I'm sayin' ooh don't try to tell me what this squad can't do, yeah
You should've known that the tribe is on the move
Watchin' all these youngins steady talkin bout that nonsense
Actin like they trippy but don't think about the consequence
We got homies dying from these pills man it ain't cool no more, cut it out
Came in the game with a less than nothin'
Hardly nothin', no support
Built it from the ground up ten years and God gave me everything that I asked Him for
Ten-thousand hours into my craft by the time I'm done then I'll put a hundred-thousand more
If you don't think that I work for this, keep my name out your mouth like Voldemort
People in my inbox askin' me if I can put 'em on
I don't know exactly what they think
That I can put 'em onto
Work hard, be yourself, and make sure not to
Take your eyes off God
Build off criticism and beware
When people say they got you
Realest bars I've ever spit
Gotta take my pride and then swallow it
As I remind myself just what I started with
Before anybody gave me compliments
And all the years it took to manifest this gift
Into something I can praise my savior with
And now indie tribe is the conglomerate
We tryin' to shine this light so you can follow it
Same people never thought that boy would go this hard
Give these people somethin' now they know, now they know
You might not respect the image but you will respect the form
Sayin' ooh don't try to tell me what this squad can't do, yeah
You should've known that the tribe is on the move

A fool repeats in his foolishness and you actin like you got it
