If You Only Knew - Jurassic 5
Never think just for
shits and giggles
Do we spit syllable riddles
for bits and kibbles
So chicks can wiggle and shake
Cuz this image is fake
I'm trying hard to relate
in a place filled with so much hate
Some brothers debate
some love and some hate
Whatever the case
its all about the choices you make
That's the reason
your balloon or deflate
But do relate
we trying to rap back to
its primitive state Wait
No overnight success
or running the bets
Just pure unadulterated
work progress
I'm willing to bet the farm
you'd give you right arm
For a piece of the pie
ask yourself why
If you only knew
the trials and tribulations
we been through
But if you only knew
we real people homey just like you
We humble but don't mistake us
for some corny ass crew
What we do is try to give you
what you ain't used to
Soul music somethin'
we can all relate to
I ams what I am and thats
all I can be
Uh no more no less
what you're seein' is me
Akil the emcee dubbed U I S C
Wise intelligent God did bless me
Yes we rock up off the S B freshly
Especially dangerous
rough and deadly
The pimp positioner
tip the Richter Scale
Alone we sink together
we sail and prevail The rum raisin
comin through guns blazin'
Some of you duns
runnin' ones with none
savin' Complainin'
me and my clan are unscathen
From the soul comes
somethin' amazin'
If you only knew
the trials and tribulations
we been through
But if you only knew
we real people homey just like you
We humble but don't mistake us
for some corny ass crew
What we do is try to give you
what you ain't used to

Yo how many times I got to hear
Some fanatic in my ear Tellin' me
I got to keep it real
When they ain't payin' my bills
Or feedin' my kids
judgin' me on how I live
If my crib in the hood
or if its up in the hills
Have you forgetten who you are
Oh you think yo a star
Why you frontin'
You went from nothin' to somethin'
But somethin' means nothin'
if ya people still wantin'
And ya got money and givin'
them nothin'
Flossin' and frontin'
Ya game of sharades
The way you behave
The image you save
Yeah brother thats one big parade
I'm sick of your ways
I'm sittin here spittin a phrase
Next time they smile and they wave
They probably be with a gaze
If you only knew
the trials and tribulations
we been through
But if you only knew
we real people homey just like you
We humble but don't mistake us
for some corny ass crew
What we do is try to give you
what you ain't used to
Soul music somethin'
we can all relate to
Soul soul soul soul
