Kolo - They Know Us

It's K-O-L-O, yeah
There's no one realer
No one
Uh, uh, uh

They ain't seen nothin' like me since the '04 Ye
The flow scaldin' but the beat somethin' like sorbet
Women let us hit 'cause they know we make romaine
A pioneer in this music like a young Coltrane
I dominate in my fear as the world rotates
I move stars with my words as my pen notates
I see a cause for the youngins and I must donate
Rather that than blowin' money on the hoes I date
Women stand different once they realize my name
Men always hate online but in person they praise
I don't do this for applause but it comes with the fame
Yeah, it's nice to have awards for those won't go to the grave
Niggas Mel Gibson, act like they got heart of the brave
Mean-muggin' to portray a life from not which they came
I was only ever me, so I never relate
I keep gettin' to the cake and it's never belated
PayPal deposits lookin' like a cartel account
Seven figures on the table, then we hearin' them out
Labels claim we arrogant 'cause they don't know what we 'bout
To care less is the only thin' I'm carin' about
Greatest ever is in session and I'm sayin' it loud
Yeah, we came from the basement but we destined for clouds
Yeah, we stayed innovatin' while you stayed on the couch
And you wonder why your records immitate a church mouse

I'm the one they was waitin' on, the wait is over
I've arrived and I don't need to say I'm takin' over
They gon' see me everywhere like a grey Corolla
The streams multiplyin' and we didn't need payola
Made money in the kitchen without whippin' yola
Makin' money off my smashes like I'm Kournikova
Been stackin' up, now the heat is boilin' over
They used to ask for my name, but now they know us, nigga

If you put me any place, it must be with the greats
Niggas try to argue, but we never fall for debate
God is with me, so I'll probably take my chances with fate
Sky's the limit 'cause of what I do with vinyl's from crates
Scratch that, the limit is a figment I'm sure of it
I am historic, make sure you're recordin' this
Been a cane, now we makin' money off royalties
So many deals, so I'm rackin' up lawyer fees
I'm scared of fame but it's the price that you pay
We all want center stage, but it comes with the weight
Of all these expectations that will keep you stuck in your place
Then only self relief can unshackle your chains
I'm prepared for it all and I always want more
We got plans to kill the game and it won't come with remorse
Leader of of the new school, they don't have a retort
Critics said the feelin''s gone so I had to restore it
I don't bump y'all, I'm busy readin' Marcus Aurelius
I'm livin' where patience is, I'm stoic in nature
And downed is my alias, my fortune is radiant
Chains so cold, they got the flu and it's Avian
Fly 'til I die, DJ Paul, Juicy J and them
Chase excellence and the money just came with it
Know that life will change, I just hope I don't change with it
Zero dollars to my name, I'm still the same nigga

I'm the one they was waitin' on, the wait is over
I've arrived and I don't need to say I'm takin' over
They gon' see me everywhere like a grey Corolla
The streams multiplyin' and we didn't need payola
Made money in the kitchen without whippin' yola
Makin' money off my smashes like I'm Kournikova
Been stackin' up, now the heat is boilin' over
They used to ask for my name, but now they know us, nigga
