I Knew - Zauntee

You should’ve never count me out

The people’s champ, the underdog, the hero

I’m here to save the day

Yuh

I’mma out work every one of you

'Till I’m at the top

Zealot gang

Seven, seven, seven

I knew this would happen, a reputation takes patience

Perfect practice makes perfect, Jesus told me I’m blameless

This is obsession with excellence, every note, every cadence

Fighting every temptation, cold as steel and I’m stainless

This that world domination, sell like incarceration

You go ham, I go bacon

I will catch what I’m chasing

This is art like a painting

Me and God so creative

Call me Zaphenath-paneah

He told me I’mma make it

After this entrance I’m making

San Andreas, you shaking

I’ll take your favorite rappers job and send that boy on vacation

Now his position is vacant, and I am the replacement

The last one that they expected King David

I remember when my family lived in my grandparents' basement

That was back in '03, mama told me I’d be famous

She said that people need the Jesus, and they need someone to save 'em

Dad told me I’m gifted and that I’m destined for greatness

My whole family is praying, the world is watching and waiting

I gave my blood, sweat and tears like it was three easy payments

I will preach on the pavement, to a sea full of faces

Tell 'em Jesus Christ is risen and His grace is amazing

Don’t think you hear what I’m saying, I’m so tired of fakin'

I’d rather be faithful and fameless than be famous and faithless

So many lives have been wasted, 'cause they brainwashed these babies

They wanna emulate rappers then they get hit with the cases

They get life now it’s over

Like the movie done playing

And the labels don’t care

Just as long as you pay 'em

I know that you been through hell

I know that your hearts are breaking

And it’s so many problems it’s time for somebody to change it
