18 - Gnosis

Yeah a celebration is what this is
I’m about go ahead, I’m bout to get it in
Cause a beat and a mic is all I need
To get the party started and everybody on they feet
Understand, this is not a game,
I don’t do this for clothes
I don’t do this for girls
I don’t do this for money
I do this for the world
I do this, I do this
I do this so well
This is Hip-Hop, all knockouts, no saved by the bell
First verse and already you hooked
I’m steady grinding while the haters steady look
Keep looking, I’m booking my flight to the top
Imma keep it flying and it aint gonna stop

I know that you know that I know you ain’t real
I know that you know that I know what’s real
I know that you know that I know y’all faking
You know that I know that you know Imma make it

I do not play around with this game boy.
This is not Nintendo put away your GameBoy.
Before that thing get snatched just before your life.
They got killers out here while you steady ignoramus.
Understand this voice is famous.
Give it five years and bet that throne will be for the taking.
Promise on my Word Imma take it. Promise on my Word Imma take it.

I know that you know that I know you ain’t real
I know that you know that I know what’s real
I know that you know that I know y’all faking
You know that I know that you know Imma make it


Best believe me I proclaim I can do it.
It’s coming at me before I even knew it.
This game a foreign language and Lord I am fluent.
Now you talking my language, now you talking my language.
Let me stop taking bites before I eat the whole plate.
Cause I’m starving for the top and I just can’t wait.

I know that you know that I know you ain’t real
I know that you know that I know what’s real
I know that you know that I know y’all faking
You know that I know that you know Imma make it

Imma make It true!
Imma make it true!
This is my kingdom. Yes I am a phenom.
If rap was a sport, I’d have an undefeated Season.
If rap stays alive, I’d be the one and only reason.
Call it a resurrection, the reflection of perfection.
Every beat that’s in hiding gonna need some protection.
There are not many like me, I’m a trend-setter.
I refuse to apologize just for being better.
Getting money to put in my Italian leather.
You know I’m flying High so try to catch my feathers.
I’m the type that wants it all, so I take it.
This a gift from God, grace so amazing.
No days off, you could never call me lazy.
I got a few soldiers, but trust they are crazy.
Staying too busy, I run this kingdom daily.
This the type of song that will get you out your seat.
This the type of song that will keep you on your feet.
This they type of song that you keep on repeat.
I’m that dude that murders every beat.
Then Clean the scene up wash my hands at the least.
You already know Imma do big things.
A HALL of fame? No I want my own WING!
