I Know That Man Lyrics by Erykah Badu & The Alchemist
(Feat. Earl Sweatshirt)
I know that man
Yeah
Don’t need no bowls, don’t need no notes
Them trees in cold, the heat’s still on ’em
Streets bipolar, the jealous ones envy, they green like Yoda
Told you, he was gon’ sing in precinct folded
Old face and breach moldy, summer stink and I think it’s soulful
I bet it’s the evil close to harness that energy, for sure
If God gave me the easy road, I wouldn’t even know I need Him so much
I’m prone to a preach, you mumbled a three
The odds always keep rollin’
I’m minesweepin’ the field, get longer, the feet get blown
Niggas is creeps like Crawly, I stole a Visa, run
I wanna be seen your lil’ ass often and you stuck around ’til the scene was over
I wonder how we was gonna win you off, the clouds coverin’ the stars
We got pounds of thunder for farms, I’m a hound, I hunt and I starve
The weed house is fuckin’ bizarre, bounced out like a bug in a car
Let’s find out who’s studyin’ law? To climb down not easy as fallin’
Always hit hard, I wanna be seen as more than a martyr
More than a monolith or a mark
More than these guys, just to be here long as a
Just more to me, martian
Uh-uh
Oh, I wanna be seen as good
In the eyes of that which created us
I wanna be seen as good
In the eyes of that which created us
I wanna be seen as good (I’m still reachin’ you)
In the eyes of that which made us (Ain’t gon’ miss my chance)
I wanna be seen as good (Fuckin’ ’round with fame)
In the eyes of that which created us
I’m gone, I’m gone, I’m gone, I’m gone
