Knowing - 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, but still get by
(From this point on, it only gets rougher)
Teachers at the school knowing
(From this point on, it only gets rougher)
Babies on the bottle 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)
Now, everybody play dumb, but there's some
That succumb or fall a 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 ass
For some hundred dollar heels and a designer bag
Now that's ass-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 (Yeah)
Your dignity the only sacrifice
Slim as your chances of being somebody's wife
They seeing you butt booty naked every night
Ain't nothing right or wrong

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 your pockets
She got the trick's watch and the silver locket
That he bought for his wife but Wanda left her license
On the nightstand fuckin' 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
There was a knock on the sliding glass door, "Bitch, it's me
You thought you was slick the way you hit me for that lick
But you slipped, now I'm gettin' in your shit"
