If You Only Knew Lyrics

    [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
