They Know
by Gabrilla Moreland
Tellin' you, you aren’t nothin'
Tellin' you, you aren’t somethin'
Tellin' you, what you gonna be
Tellin' you, what you can’t be
Tellin' you, you will be defeated
All while not tellin' you they misleadin'
Look at ‘em, see how they leadin'
Look at ‘em, see how they cheatin'
Look within, say you are it
Look within, say you are the right fit
They know God shines the light especially bright on you
They know what all you capable to do
They know you was built to conquer all walls
They know you deserve it all
That’s why they misleadin'
And cheatin'
And defeatin'
Tearin' you down
Tryin to take your crown
Stand tall
Stand strong
Stand undefeated
Tell ‘em you know they wrong
And when you stand tall
You’ll see they can’t even reach you
Their beneath you
They can’t stop you
Not even on their tippy toes
Not even on all your ancestor’s woes
They know
You know
They know
You know
Now go ahead and bestow
All the greatness there is to show.
