They say sing what you know
|
But I've sung what they want
|
Some folks do what they're told
|
But baby this time I won't
|
We'll look through that door
|
I know the truth won't lie
|
Some things
|
I've done before I can't justify
|
There are kings in my past
|
Things no one can be proud of
|
But I stand in the light I've cast
|
Turn away from any luck of love
|
Oh and I walk through that door
|
I say here I go
|
You see me and nothing before
|
I'm saying what I know
|
I know better
|
I know better
|
Legend is just a name
|
I know better than to be so proud
|
I won't dream in all this fame
|
I've taken more than I'm allowed
|
I wanna highly cut it
|
all from where it came
|
My history has brought me
|
to this place
|
There's power in the color of my face
|
And I know better
|
Oh oh oh
|
I know better
|
Oh
|
I'll rise from the floor
|
without a wing
|
I'll bust open that door so let me in
|
And if music chooses me
|
to sing I'll let her
|
I'm saying what I know yes
|
I know better
|
Oh
|
I know better
|
Yes
|
I know better
|
I know better
|
|
