All I Know Lyrics

[Intro: CL Smooth]
Uh
Uh-huh
Yeah

[Verse 1: CL Smooth]
I make it move like I wanna move with them horns
Let 'em play with them strings, while I spit the life of kings

Put a could in it, stood with it, we at it
Dudes that was meant to have it, fans wanna reach out and grab it
I'm just an ordinary man, with an unordinary lifestyle
Seen early, I would live as a child
I was conceived a mistake, but through God is really all it take
For me to be born and make the Earth shake
This was raised from the bottom, so before them plainclothes got 'em
Soak up the four square miles to pop 'em
It's me in the flesh, here to put the rumors to rest
And let you celebrate hip hop's best
From the womb to the tomb, hit the game real soon
With a tune that's gon' take son, straight to the moon
Ta-dow, see it's my turn now
All competitors bow, all you sayin' is, "Wow"

[Chorus: CL Smooth]
All I know, is the way it gotta go
And everything it take to hold me down
All I see, is the way it gotta be
If you came to see me hit the town
This is my vibe, the way I survive
And peoples can't play me out of bounds
Here's my point, on a Jazzy Jeff joint
Is why CL can wear the crown
[Verse 2: CL Smooth]
When you think about the pedigree, to own the whole catalog
All I'm sayin' is, don't sleep on me dawg
I really waked them streets there, schooled them young wolves
CL will slay anything in his way
Okay it's all about the aura I project, that ultimate connect
And how you see me as a man of respect, right?
So it's like a mutual agreement, all your feed is in the cement
Learn the rules, let you earn your pay? Sure
Nosy then you think of what it cost me
To how the world forced me to kill 'em softly, baby
How the music sound from the basement, and how the work bless me
Who let you see the fame don't impress me, dig it?
Why it's cut from a different cloth, blood to set it off
Keep a real nice piece in a loft, easy
Anytime you can hold ya head, then you can hold some bread
And relate to what CL said, yes

[Chorus: CL Smooth]
All I know, is the way it gotta go
And everything it take to hold me down
All I see, is the way it gotta be
If you came to see me hit the town
This is my vibe, the way I survive
And peoples can't play me out of bounds
Here's my point, on a Jazzy Jeff joint
Is why CL can wear the crown
[Verse 3: CL Smooth]
It's Jazzy Jeff on the turntables, CL on the M-I-C
Philly on up to the N-Y-C
And breakdances, God, tags in the trainyard
Wild style fat laced, thugs locked up
From a 1980's case, goons with them grown kids
Used to them long bids, meet you on the dance floor
Slash the visit did, a lot from the rep to
And see it all makes sense, if I'm the king
Then that should make you the fresh prince

Send for the driver, you lookin' at the real soul survivor
Like my man, J.Period mixtape, the Man on Fire
Featurin' the guest that Jeff host
You marvel at the up close and personal, meetin' of the minds
You should read the signs, this is what reclines
The thoughts in my lazy boy, fit like a hand and glove
From the city of brotherly love

[Chorus: CL Smooth]
All I know, is the way it gotta go
And everything it take to hold me down
All I see, is the way it gotta be
If you came to see me hit the town
This is my vibe, the way I survive
And peoples can't play me out of bounds
Here's my point, on a Jazzy Jeff joint
Is why CL can wear the crown
