Now You Know

Story Behind The Song

just bangin' around on the keyboard one day and out popped this beat! I had the melody for the chorus almost immediately and my boy helped finish off the chorus lyrics. I got another friend to come in and sing it, then I just dropped some dope lyrics. I wrote them at various times...some even at Chili's when I was working! This one seems to be the one that gets stuck in people's heads.

Lyrics

Now You Know

Orion:

Well it used to be when you?d see me/
You would just keep on like who is he/
But I knew the truth would soon set me free/
I flew the coop then blew up the scene/
Now things have changed and been rearranged/
It just ain?t the same since I graced the stage/
No longer a loner on the wrong end of a joke/
I put my heart and my soul into every song that I wrote/
Holdin? on to hope hopin? I didn?t miss the boat/
Knowing no one was going to throw or lower me a rope/
Flowin? dope kept me afloat while ya?ll was blowin? smoke/
Up my ass I guess that?s the way it?s supposed to go/
But nobody wanted to show me any love/
Till I made now they can?t wait to mate in the club/
I know you?re thinking I?m playin? maybe just makin? it up/
Fakin? the funk but baby that?s just the way that it was/?until now

Chorus:

Does your heart start pumpin? when you see me rollin? through/
Do your palms get sweaty cuz of you know who/
Is there something in my eyes causin? you to feel this way/
Well that?s just the way we handle things there?s nothing more to say/?now you know

Orion:

Well looky look who?s arrived you look so surprised/
Never realized that eyes could open so wide/
It?s just me the same old flea I?ll always be/
But all they see is some MTV/
Slash BET dash rap artiste/
That?s havin? a blast makin? a masterpiece/
But you?re rappin? too slow rap faster please/
It happens to be that rappin? to these beats is easy for me/
You see it?s never been a question my skill is untested/
True but still you should never underesta?/
Mate me hate me throw me in the gutter/
I?ll show you a flow that?s so unlike any other/
It?s so tight you might not like another/
Hot enough to make your mother wanna slap your brother/
I got a deal big deal I?m still real for real/
See it?s still me even on tv you feel me/

Chorus

Orion:

Now would be a good time for me to release/
All of this frustration just awaitin? relief/
All of the tears followed by the years of grief/
If you wanna be the chief you gotta kill the beef/
I?ve been hated waiting all this time debating/
If I could make it whether or not if the chance came I would take it/
Well hell look at me now kids you?re bouncin?/
Up and down looking astounded/
It?s over the fat round lady has sounded/
This is my talent thank God that I found it/
And as for all of ya?ll so called friends/
That call now but never thought to call back then/
Just stay gone and think about the way it might have been/
Now the telephone don?t wanna work on my end/
And as the old saying goes no guts no glory/
And so now you know the rest of the story/
