Lyrics

I Know

[Intro: B.G.]

Okay

[Verse 1: B.G. & Lil Wayne]

First thing first, and for me that's n's

I floss, so I know you gon' let me pimp Benz

If I want it, no matter the cost, I'll get it

It's mine, so I know you gon' let me spend it

My clique made it known: we 'bout havin' things

Sport diamonds, so I know you gon' let us bling

B.G.: shut it down when I come through

They say I'm wrong, but I know you gon' let me do what I do

If I got it, I ain't gon' hide it, I show mine

I know you gon' respect it, I know you gon' let me shine

I know you ain't gon' step, I know you know I tote iron

Quick to bust, and I know you don' wan' die

You see eight Bentleys comin' on a late Sunday

I know you know that's Cash Money Millionaires comin'

We be layin' it down, don't give a fuck, nigga

We're from uptown, so I know you gon' let us stunt, nigga (Hey, hey, hey, listen, listen)

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]

I know you see the jewelry, it's berserk and on shine

I know you see the bulge under the shirt, don't try

I know you people wishin' that one day we gon' stop

I know you recognize we got the game on lock

I know you see the Bentleys, the broads, the Dubs

I know you see the thugs, you don't wanna see no blood

I know you people wishin' that one day we gon' stop

I know you recognize we got the game on lock

[Verse 2: B.G. & Lil Wayne]

I know you bet' not open your mouth when I ride by

I know you know this Lex GS on shine

I spin through fast, wrist hangin' out the dropped Jag

Blindin' ya, I know you gon' let me act bad

I know you gon' let me go off, let me show my ass

I know you gon' let me show off, make haters mad

Got game to make your wife cheat, give me head

Fuck your husband for Geezy, I know you gon' break bread

I know you clowns don't like it, gotta accept it

You don't, get wetted, I know you gotta respect it

You don't want Geezy bringin' drama to your set'n'

I know you don't want sis, Mom, and daughter in black dresses

Please don't test me, you do, it get hectic

I shoot for the head, don't depend on vests

Now on the up and up I'm every bad bitch choice

Don't be mad, I know you gon' let me be a Hot Boy (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]

I know you see the jewelry, it's berserk and on shine

I know you see the bulge under the shirt, don't try

I know you people wishin' that one day we gon' stop

I know you recognize we got the game on lock

I know you see the Bentleys, the broads, the Dubs

I know you see the thugs, you don't wanna see no blood

I know you people wishin' that one day we gon' stop

I know you recognize we got the game on lock

[Verse 3: B.G. & Lil Wayne]

Hoes say I'm nasty, I know you gon' let me slang wood

Say I changed, I'm rich, I know you gon' let me be good

I'm the same ol' nigga I was when I was broke

Still beef, so I know you gon' let me tote my 44

Now, you know what happened: tried to play me like a hoe

We both can't live on this earth, one of us gotta go

On the real, when it come to shinin', I'm nothin' nice

You'll be blinded, and I know you don't like when I wear ice

I know you gon' let me burn, I'm H-O-T

I know you gon' let me be me, and that's B.G

I know you gon' respect my clique CMB

I know you don't want beef with Juv, Turk, and Wheezy

I know you don't wan' put your car next to Fresh or B

I know you ain't got the price like them: ten a-piece

I know you bet' stay in your place, don't fuck with us

I know you ain't on our level cause we platinum plus (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]

I know you see the jewelry, it's berserk and on shine

I know you see the bulge under the shirt, don't try

I know you people wishin' that one day we gon' stop

I know you recognize we got the game on lock

I know you see the Bentleys, the broads, the Dubs

I know you see the thugs, you don't wanna see no blood

I know you people wishin' that one day we gon' stop

I know you recognize we got the game on lock

I know you see the jewelry, it's berserk and on shine

I know you see the bulge under the shirt, don't try

I know you people wishin' that one day we gon' stop

I know you recognize we got the game on lock

I know you see the Bentleys, the broads, the Dubs

I know you see the thugs, you don't wanna see no blood

I know you people wishin' that one day we gon' stop

I know you recognize we got the game on lock

[Outro: Lil Wayne]

Lock, shop, bam, lock down

What!
