I Knew

You should've never count me out The people's champ, the underdog, The hero I'm here to save the day Yuh I'mma out work every one of you ' Till I'm at the top Zealot gang Seven, seven, seven I knew this would happen, A reputation takes patience Perfect practice makes perfect, Jesus told me I'm blameless This is obsession with excellence, Every note, every cadence Fighting every temptation, Cold as steel and I'm stainless This that world domination, Sell like incarceration You go ham, I go bacon I will catch what I'm chasing This is art like a painting Me and God so creative Call me Zaphenath-paneah He told me I'mma make It After this entrance I'm making San Andreas, You shaking I'll take your favorite rappers job and send that boy on Vacation Now his position is vacant, And I am the replacement The last one that they expected King David I Remember when my family lived in my grandparents' basement That was Back in '03, mama told me I'd be famous She said that people need the Jesus, and they need someone to save 'em Dad told me I'm gifted and That I'm destined for greatness My whole family is praying, The world is watching and waiting I gave my blood, Sweat and tears like it was three easy payments I will preach on the Pavement, to a sea full of faces Tell 'em Jesus Christ is risen and His grace is amazing Don't think you hear what I'm saying, I'm so tired of fakin' I'd rather be faithful and fameless than be Famous and faithless So many lives have been wasted, 'Cause they brainwashed these babies They wanna Emulate rappers then they get hit with the cases They get life now it's over Like the movie done playing And the Labels don't care Just as long as you pay 'em I know that you been Through hell I know that your hearts are breaking And It's so many problems it's time for somebody to change it
