Knox Hill You Don't Know Me
[Intro]
Yeah
Enigma on the beat
TImes are crazy right now, man
I don't know if I'll be here long, but let's go
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I feel like I'm locked up
They got me in this box with them cuffs tryna label me and tape my mouth shut
But I spit it at my prime, Amazon with my delivery, returning what was sent for me
These rappers writing songs, I'm out here writing symphonies
I put my pain into this mic, I'm spillin' my soliloquy
R.I.P my man, Dilla; I'm a [?] in this prison
They ain't see me for my vision, been a minute, I was spittin'
I've been wishing for a difference, I've been trying to close the distance
But it feels likе the same old story, Hi Ho Silver, I'm in my glory
I'm that rangеr, I've been lonely, pen these words, but you don't know me
Lips to the mic 'cause that's my only one
But I'm still broke, though, pockets leaking out like I got a broke nose
Make it counts like a cynic, [?] always in the negatives
Still sleeping on me, but I tell 'em, "Get the sedative"
I just call Enigma and he gave me that medicine
That's all I ever needed
I just plant these words and let the pain and anger feed it
Take this cream, but I'm still swinging, still singing demons, but I'm dreaming
[Chorus]
Love for [?], I'm still breathing, pour my pain inside these reasons
Raise my glass and toast my demons
Here's to the different me, said here's to the different me (Yeah)
Lips to the mic 'cause that's my only one
I lay these vowels 'cause she's my only, that's my only one
[Verse 2]
Hopping overthinking, overthinking (Yeah)
Well, I'm thinking on the same things that I tried to stop thinking
Overanalyze while I fantasize and show myself these lies that I'll never realize
Life's like a picture (Yeah), but I ain't no Kodak
[?], I'm a Kodiak, align these stars like zodiacs
I'll write these lines on lonely tracks, I'm just hoping that you'll know me
Don't let go of [?] upholding 'fore it's broken and I'm floating
'Cause I'm drowning in the flows that'd use to keep me home
But I'm losing my control, I feel it leaking out my soul like the hole in the ozone
Use to sing for tips while I was working at a Coldstone
Humming out these rhymes but I'm singing out to no one
Tryna stack some chains so I can buy a ticket out on that one-way home
I know I'm broke, I'm towed, I'm dope, on point like a needle, spin a record for my people
Still, I'm tryna find the rhythm
But I've been feelin' [?], separatin' from these measures and the things I can't compare
Can't put a number on your freedom or a price on what you believe in, still, I'm dreamin'
Papa told me, "Keep it real," Mama [?] feel
I tried to keep it even [?] but even still, they splittin'
Mama took the lane, Papa took the gutter home
So I [?] my brother's pull me under, still, I wonder how I made it out
[Chorus]
Love for [?], I'm still breathing, pour my pain inside these reasons
Raise my glass and toast my demons
Here's to the different me, said here's to the different me (Yeah)
Lips to the mic 'cause that's my only one
I lay these vowels 'cause she's my only, that's my only one
[Post-Chorus]
I'm that ranger, I've been lonely on this road, but you don't know me
Grip this mic 'cause that's my only, she's my only one
[Outro]
Yeah
[?]
Free world

I love you guys
