i know better

Lyrics

they say sing what you know, but i've sung what they want, some folks do what they're told, but baby this time i won't, will look through that door, i know the truth won't lie, some things i've done before i can't justify, there are kings in my past, things no one can be proud of, but i stand in the light i've casted, and turn away from any lack of love, oh, and i walked through that door, i say here i go, you see me and nothing more, i'm singing what i know, i know better, i know better, legend is just a name, i know better than to be so proud, i won't drink in all this fame, i'll take more love than i'm allowed, i won't have to cut it off from where it came, my history has brought me to this place, this power and the color of my face, and i know better, oh, i know better, oh, i'll rise from the floor if i don't win, i'll bust open that door so let me in, and the music chooses me to sing i let her, i'll sing what i know, yes, i know better, oh, i know better, yes, i know better, i know better
