riddle me this
what is everything to someone, and nothing to everyone else?

so i try and be a hero, the world needs a villain
it's cool, i'll hero the spot that needs filled in
but all those dirty little secrets, yall gon' have to spill them
and that's all i want, got no interest to kill men
i'm on a need to know basis
i need to know everything behind everybody's faces, yeah
knowledge is power brings some thoughts in mind
for if knowledge is power, then a god am i
i set it off, how dare you try and knock my pride
somebody tell the fat lady she's on in five
my name reigns champ in the blame game
damned if i change lanes
names saying my name, that's fine
what, you think i don't know? what you think, i'm slow?
i wonder what you'd think about if you knew what i know, yeah
try and tell me what they think of joe
and i'm like... i know. i know... i know......

HOOK


you cant get close to me
that's reserved for those who showed to me they know what that's supposed to be
i got a globe to see
i can't take everybody but i'll be back and tell them all what they should go and see
the sarcastic asshole posted on the back wall
my bad yall, that's just the joe in me
i'm probably not everything that i'm supposed to be
but i hope my flow and poetry will show what i am told to be
and hopefully we can still see eye to eye even if we dont agree
and hopefully these suckas will stop approaching me
ask who i think the coldest is
and suprise in your eyes when i told you it's me
to bear this load aint free, i'm broke for me
don't suppose i hold loads of dough for we
drinks are cold, from what i'm told, i relate emotionally
man, i hope they still know it's me
