Knowing (Explicit) - Outkast

Brothers on the block knowing

(from this point on it only gets rougher )

Sisters at the crib knowing

(from this point on it only gets rougher )

Preachers at the church knowing we still get by

(from this point on it only gets rougher )

Teachers at the school knowing

(from this point on it only gets rougher )

Ladies on the block knowing

(from this point on it only gets rougher )

Junkies on the corner knowing but still get high

(from this point on it only gets rougher )

Well here's a formal introduction

Something to make you ponder

The situation's ugly

Like "In Living Color"'s Wanda (word up )

Well everybody play dumb

But there's some that succumb

And fall victim

I will overcome any hurdle or obstacle that's in my path

Fast cash should be the last resort

So make it last for the risk you took

Trick you shook your a**

For some hundred dollar heels and a designer bag

Now that's a** backwards

All you got in the refrigerator is bratwurst

Your stomach is balled in a knot

You got that phat purse

Pocketbook stop and look

Pockets look void

Destroyed by the need to indulge

And enjoy the finer things in life right

Your dignity your only sacrifice

Slim as your chances of being somebody's wife

They seeing ya butt

Booty naked every night

Ain't nothing right or wrong

Brothers on the block knowing

(from this point on it only gets rougher )

Sisters at the crib knowing

(from this point on it only gets rougher )

Preachers at the church knowing we still get by

(from this point on it only gets rougher )

Teachers at the school knowing

(from this point on it only gets rougher )

Ladies on the block knowing

(from this point on it only gets rougher )

Junkies on the corner knowing but still get high

(from this point on it only gets rougher )

Even though things started falling apart

Wanda went and bought a Honda

Now she's out of a job

She would slob on a knob

For a little less than a yard

A massage you could drill her like a sarge

She would charge and rob

Pick through yo' pockets

She got the tricks watch and the silver locket

That he bought for his wife

But Wanda left her license

On the night stand f**kin' with this white man

She met in a little red Corvette paid for sex

Made a deal that she would never forget you can bet

Every action has a positive and equal reaction

Therefore everything

That goes around comes around in that fashion

Fast and furiously

The was a knock on the sliding glass door (b**ch it's me )

You thought you was slick the way you hit me for that lick

But you slipped now I'm getting in your sh*t
