Letra de «Now I Know»
Yeah, uh, look
The older I get, the more I realize
Almost everything that I believed
In my life was a lie
It started as a child, first was Santa Claus
Then I believed that a brawl would never come between my dawgs (wrong)
My sister Mary filled me in when I was 7
Told me Hulk Hogan only existed on television (what?)
The Stone Cold Stunner and the Leg Drop?
All scripted, N.W.O and X-Pac? Dang
I used to walk up to them automatic doors
My momma told me that my finger was the power source
So I pointed with my pointer, then pow
It was open, then come to find out she was joking
Had to let it soak in, my mind as a boy
Didn't wanna believe that McGwire or Barry were on the 'roids
But uh, when I was young, I thought the world was alright
It's funny, I even thought that Jesus was white, but yo
Over the years you get more accustomed to pain Used to believe my dad when he said he'd come to my games Even believed my mother was a saint and could do no wrong And then she sat me down and told me how I was born (shoot) Mind-blown, but now it all makes sense Why she didn't spazz on me when she caught me having sex, uh I was perplexed but now I get it I used to think America was finished with racism How could I miss it? I'm mad so many people don't get it Holding this list of black names but now I'm blacklisted? Got older, it's like it got no different I found out these independent artists isn't independent Cause major labels fund them quietly to keep perception That's deception in the game Used to believe I wanted fame Plus my name written in them lights Now I know it's so much greater cause it's written in the hand of Christ And I used to say the radio would play what the people wanted Now I know they playing what's payin' Feeling jaded, but somehow I still believe in God I even thought a college education got me a job, man
Hook:
All that glitters ain't made of gold It's the thing you've heard a million times before It took a lot of time, now I realise Now I know better It's better late than never Now I knowOver the years you get more accustomed to pain Used to believe my dad when he said he'd come to my games Even believed my mother was a saint and could do no wrong And then she sat me down and told me how I was born (shoot) Mind-blown, but now it all makes sense Why she didn't spazz on me when she caught me having sex, uh I was perplexed but now I get it I used to think America was finished with racism How could I miss it? I'm mad so many people don't get it Holding this list of black names but now I'm blacklisted? Got older, it's like it got no different I found out these independent artists isn't independent Cause major labels fund them quietly to keep perception That's deception in the game Used to believe I wanted fame Plus my name written in them lights Now I know it's so much greater cause it's written in the hand of Christ And I used to say the radio would play what the people wanted Now I know they playing what's payin' Feeling jaded, but somehow I still believe in God I even thought a college education got me a job, man
