Always Knew - Lecrae[00:00:00]
Written by:Lecrae Moore/Ramon Enrique Owen[00:00:02]
Yeah this right here is dedicated to my family[00:00:07]
My friends my lady[00:00:12]
Shine a light on me[00:00:16]
You shine a light on me[00:00:18]
You shine a light on me[00:00:20]
You shine a light on me[00:00:21]
Yeah ayy[00:00:24]
Shine a light on me[00:00:26]
Learned a lot over these last few years[00:00:28]
Industry people ain't friends just peers[00:00:30]
I learned that these girls easy like the morning of a Sunday[00:00:31]
They don't love you 'til you gone like Harambe[00:00:35]
Still killin' over colors now it's black and blue[00:00:38]
We dyin' every day B we just don't make the news[00:00:40]
When you speak out for your race just watch[00:00:43]
They gon' twist and say you hate these cops[00:00:45]
I'ma take these shots[00:00:47]
How can he love Jesus Kanye and K Dot[00:00:48]
Martin Malcolm and Schaeffer Mitsubishi and Maybach[00:00:50]
Contradictory nah it's complimentary[00:00:54]
Understanding me ain't for the simple and elementary oh[00:00:56]
I know this might go over some heads[00:00:59]
But I come from being government fed[00:01:01]
Could be running from feds[00:01:03]
But now I give the government bread[00:01:04]
'Cause you playin' back the words that I said[00:01:06]
I can't believe we made it through[00:01:08]
My momma said she ain't surprised told me that she always knew[00:01:12]
My day ones still the same ones love to the crew[00:01:17]
I told my lady I ain't never met nobody like you[00:01:22]
I thank you[00:01:27]
Now I remember uh I was sittin' in my room[00:01:29]
Glued to my television daily after school[00:01:33]
And I never saw me goin' to college[00:01:35]
Higher learning was a different world I can acknowledge[00:01:37]
I used to imagine me in a black range[00:01:40]
Gettin' paid from doin' this lil' rap thing[00:01:43]
And now I'm payin' these professors couple thousand for a lesson[00:01:45]
Graduated in recession Sallie Mae just wanna check in I'm stressin'[00:01:48]
Rap music it was all a dream[00:01:51]
Now I'm in a session chasin' my dream[00:01:53]
Who would have knew man it's crazy[00:01:55]
S1 introduced me to JAY Z[00:01:57]
Never met my dad but I met the music that raised me[00:01:59]
I know this might go over some heads[00:02:02]
But I come from being government fed[00:02:03]
Could be running from feds[00:02:05]
But now I give the government bread[00:02:07]
'Cause you playin' back the words that I said[00:02:09]
That's crazy[00:02:11]
I can't believe we made it through[00:02:11]
My momma said she ain't surprised told me that she always knew[00:02:14]
My day ones still the same ones love to the crew[00:02:20]
I told my lady I ain't never met nobody like you[00:02:25]
I thank you[00:02:29]
Listen I know god did it can't take the credit[00:02:32]
Paid off all of my debts but I still feel so indebted[00:02:35]
Been all over the world with these songs I wrote[00:02:38]
My life story oughta to give y'all hope[00:02:40]
Without a doubt I've been doubted and counted out[00:02:42]
I've been down from the count about to quit[00:02:44]
Momma told me keep going 'cause I was made for this[00:02:46]
I either get a scholarship or I could get a hit[00:02:48]
I still can't believe I made it here[00:02:51]
I can't believe we made it through[00:02:53]
My momma said she ain't surprised told me that she always knew[00:02:56]
My day ones still the same ones love to the crew[00:03:01]
I told my lady I ain't never met nobody like you[00:03:06]
I thank you[00:03:11]
Shine a light on me[00:03:13]
You shine a light on me[00:03:15]
You shine a light on me[00:03:17]
You shine a light on me[00:03:18]
Yeah ayy[00:03:22]
Shine a light on me[00:03:23]
You shine a light on me[00:03:25]
You shine a light on me[00:03:27]
You shine a light on me[00:03:29]
Yeah man[00:03:30]
