Artist: Black Lotus Album: Lotus Notes: 1997-1999 Song: I Know Typed by: Cno Evil [Chorus: Long Axe (Dragonfly)] I know, I've been broke but I fixed my eyes On the prize, I came close but I can't deny I know, (how it is, when you strive to be the best At the verge of being wealthy on the road to success) I know, you can't wait too long Because we all gotta get next door, to see the morning I know, (that when the world comes calling on us We'll be waiting at the gates, people following us) [Long Axe] It's like an exodus, running closer to myself Leaving messages, came close but I can't deny I'm a calm time bomb, go from knowledge to born Situated in the area, where most don't plan Too far from the morning, eyes on the door knob turning it slow Clockwise so it's time for me to go I got families waiting for the treasure How many miles we gotta walk to make it better Yeah, it's like a sad song With these infinite tracks it's gon' last long [Dragonfly] Aiyo, I'm feel what you saying, Axe, it's time to add on With the plans, change of hands, let the jewelry form Resurrect, redesign, every moment in time Take advantage of the happiness, purify ya mind Ideas be leaking out, with plans to make the greenery Loosen up ya ears, get a feel for the scenary And what it means to me, a treasure's in the making, hold tight Buckle up, it's time to get the ground shaking [Chorus] [Long Axe] They say a house ain't a home without love and devotion The house of traps, left scars in our emotions People try to make the Lotus, wither away But as a killer would stay, they ain't with us today Don't underestimate things that's suppose to happen I wasn't holding ya hands, I kept 'em clapping For the creed is to be myself, and I Got a need, that's to feed myself or die [Dragonfly] How many times must they mention our names, huh How many times must we wake our fame, huh How many times do things gotta change Before people understand, we never limit our range [Long Axe] I know I'm taking you off to a dark place I know which way you can go when you lost face Recooperate and never doubt this flow Cuz I know, that you know [Chorus 2X]
