Lyric If You Only Knew

[Chali 2na]
Never think just for
Shits and giggles
Do we spit sylable riddles
For bits and kibbles
So chics can wiggles and shake
Cause this image is fake

[Akil]
I m tryin hard to relate
In a place filled with so much hate

[Soup]
Some brothers debate
Some love or some hate
Whatever the case
Its all about the choices you make
That s the reason your balloon ll deflate

[Chali 2na]
But to relate
We tryin to take rap back to its primitive state, wait

[Marc 7]
No overnight success or runnin with vets
Just pure unadulterated work progress
I m willin to bet the farm
You d give your right arm
For a piece of the pie
Ask yourself, Why?

[Chorus:]
[All]
If you only knew
The trials and tribulations we been through
But if you only knew
We re real people homey, just like you
We humble, but don t mistake us for some corny ass crew
What we do, is try to give you what you ain t used to
[Marc 7]
Soul music, somethin we can all relate to

[Akil]
Yo yo, I ams what I am and thats all I can be
Uh, no more no less what you re seein is me
Akil the emcee dubbed the U-I-S-C, uh
Wise, intelligent, God did bless me

[Soup]
Yes we, rock up off the S-B freshly
Especially dangerous rough and deadly

[All]
The pimp positioner, tip the Richter...Scale

[Chali 2na]
Alone we sink together we sail and prevail
The rum raisin comin through guns blazin
Some of you duns runnin ones with none savin
Complainin , me and my clan are unscathen
From the soul comes somethin amazin

[Chorus]

[talking in background]

[Akil]
Yo, how many times I got to hear
Some fanatic in my ear
Tellin me I got to keep it real
When they ain t payin my bills
Or feedin my kids, judgin me on how I live
If my crib in the hood or if its up in the hills?

[Marc 7]
Have you forgetten who you are?
Oh, you think yo a star
Why you frontin ? (You ain t nothin )
You went from nothin to somethin
But somethin means nothin if ya people still wantin

[Chali 2na]
And ya got money and givin them nothin

[All]
Flossin and frontin

[Soup]
Ya game of sharades
The way you behave
The image you save
Yeah brother thats one big parade
I m sick of your ways
I m sittin here spittin a phrase
Next time they smile and they wave
They probably be with a gaze

[Chorus]

[Marc 7]
Soul..soul..soul..soul..soul
