[Intro]
Yeah
Ehem
Alright
See, um

[Verse 1]
I was taught young (Young), never judge a book by its cover (No)
Don't tell all your biz (Uh-uh), you gotta make 'em wonder (Yeah)
Some people intentions just flow (Flow)
You gotta learn when to cut a motherfucka off (Off)
See, you're damned if you do (Do), damned if you don't (You don't)
So doin' me is the thing I focus on the most (Rasheeda)
You can't soar like an eagle hangin' wit' a bunch of chickens (Cacaw!)
So I drop that fake ho, and do it for my real bitches (Ow)
I'm a threat 'cause they know I'm a beast (Beast)
You starvin' for attention while I'm enjoyin' the feast (Okay)
I'm focused on my paper (Paper), I'm hollerin', "Fuck a hater" (A hater)
I'm such an educator, you's a damn inpersonator (Yeah, yeah, uh)
(Oh, don't do it, please don't do it)
But if you wanna start it, let's get motherfuckin' to it (To it)
'Cause 'Sheeda be the boss (Boss), so 'Sheeda lead the way (Okay)
You ain't nothin' but a damn protégé, this is somethin' they know (Yah)

[Chorus]
They know, they know, they know (They know)
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know (They know)
(Uh-huh) They know (Yeah)
That the real is on the rise, no need to clarify
I'm the best, and it comes as no surprise
This is somethin' they know
They know, they know, they know (Uh-huh)
They know (Alright)
[Verse 2]
All I focus on is being the winner
I know that I'm the one (One), a lil' self-centered (Centered)
This movement I create is how I wanna be remembered
So I'm working over time o-on my own agenda (Yeah)
What the fuck I look like? (Like?) Mere mediocre?
I'm swimmin' to the top (Yup), front and back stroker (Stroker)
Yeah, I'm the shit, straight flush, bitch, poker (Poker)
If a trick get in my way, I-I just motherfuckin' choke her
My destiny is great (Great), but I'm focused on the journey
Every set back is a setup, I know that I am worthy (Yeah)
I just might stumble here to bump for a bruise (Bruise)
But I'm here for a reason (Yup), and it's not to lose, lose, lose
(Oh) I know they mad 'cause I got it like that
I'm so confident with it, I'm just swaggin' like that
You wishin' deep inside that you had it like that
Gotta pay it how you weigh it, I ain't even gotta say it, they know

[Chorus]
They know, they know, they know (They know)
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know (They know)
(Uh-huh) They know (Yeah)
That the real is on the rise, no need to clarify
I'm the best, and it comes as no surprise
This is somethin' they know
They know, they know, they know (Uh-huh)
They know (They know; Yeah)
[Outro]
Rasheeda be the boss, so 'Sheeda lead the way
Rasheeda be the boss, so 'Sheeda lead the way
