Текст песни Now You Know - Goldsmith

I was progressing through my adolescence without pen and paper
But in just a second later it's a presence in my nature
At the age of 20, felt that I was ready for some flavor
In the essence of my thinking knew I needed something greater
Now my passion blasting out of me this ain't no pepper shaker
And I'm knocking on your door like I'm the floor's annoying
Neighbor
I won't strive for 9-5's not taking orders like a waiter cuz I'm really too alive
Digging for the truth and I ain't blinking
I can see my dreams in front of me I ain't sinking
Swimming through whatever's in the sea I ain't shrinking
My confidence up to Yao Ming how I'm sounding, such a clear
Change in a year so astounding...
Started with Gambino, sway in the morning gotta grab a cappuccino
Childish ain't playing, sicker than some chemo
My friend and I were sober but it felt like a placebo
We were high, two j's later we in the sky
Poundcake beat on, eyes open wide
Beat was a blessing, physically aligned
That attention to my thought relieving tension inside
And we just glided through the night, till the light
Finished up a track and it never felt so right
And when the summer came along, I was back to trynna write
Although the soccer season gone, I was making it all right

So let's run it up, run it up
If you don't know, now you know
So let's run it up, run it up
If you don't know, now you know
So if you don't know now, now you know
I just leave it at the crib, then I hit the road
I'm just looking for the key, making sure I never lose me

My primary test was that library desk
Writing 10-12, before I join the rest
I was always by myself, felt a little stressed
With my bag on the shelf, instrumental on the desk
I attest I would lose some composure
With heads getting closer any movement on my shoulder
Tried to keep a secret, of my plans ahead
But it's hard for me to keep it all bundled in my head
Before I go to bed I just think about the journey
Wanna make sure that they heard me, wanna bury all
My fears in a grave
So it ain't blury the new road that I pave, and I'm still the same
And I don't feel a change, but no one where I come from
Has ever chose this lane
So is it sane I've been doing it, pursuing it
Looking at a barrier and moving it

So let's run it up, run it up
If you don't know, now you know
So let's run it up, run it up
If you don't know, now you know
So if you don't know now, now you know
I just leave it at the crib, then I hit the road
I'm just looking for the key, making sure I never lose me

Now you know what I've been doing, known that I've been brewing
Assuming I don't stop I don't see a way I'm losing
Got a life for the choosing, tired of the snoozing
Make em wake up to the music I don't give a fuck who's viewing
I don't do it for the money, maybe fame
It's important that you see I just never played the game
They be brainwashing our brains, make us go insane
We stop following our dreams to watch shows that are lame
I don't know who to blame I'm just trying to pave a lane
I got flow to make a cripple bounce around without a cane
But I'm saying that it's critical that I get analytical
Take away the noise so my message at its' pinnacle
Chilling with the boys and we listen to what's hot
But it's not what imma drop but I'll still be at the top
I ain't trying to give you comfort like that pop shit
Trynna have you thinking like that Pac shit.

So let's run it up, run it up
If you don't know, now you know
So let's run it up, run it up
If you don't know, now you know
So if you don't know now, now you know
I just leave it at the crib, then I hit the road
I'm just looking for the key, making sure I never lose me
