Theoplas - I Know Lyrics

Father, in the name of Jesus, I ask that you protect me from anybody that ever hate on me
No weapon formed against me should prosper
The same sun shine on me, shine on you too, so why you hatin'
To each his own, play your position, you will find God's favor, but you play Cain
Gettin' mad at my power, you ain't able, get cast away
Mark on your forehead, label a hater, hi hater
How did Cain slay Abel? I can never be, a hater
Mad at my brother, bout blessings that weren't meant for me
Abel was a shepherd and it was part of God's will
But can't that land produce more than Abel can ever kill
But still, some can never stand to see another man shine as hard as he can, you know
So I stay down on my knees, prayin' to God to keep the envious away from me
Keep the snakes out my circle, keep me jealousy-free
How can I be my brother's keeper if my brother plottin' on me
In Jesus' name, I pray, Lord, protect me from Judas
Give me wisdom to keep these haters far away from my movement
I know, I know, hater, that you've been hatin' me
You just can't wait to see, see my brains hang from me, dangling
I know, I know, that he's protectin' me
Protected by G-O-D
I pray to him faithfully, watch over me
I know, you don't like the way I flow
And I know, and my character, just ain't gon' match with you
But I ain't gon' act with you or change my character
I'd rather be mad with you, I'd rather be mad with you
Nah, I'm not after ya your entitled to hate
I don't want everybody to like me anyway
Cause then, there'll be too many friends
And too many friends, you can't see the hatred within
And, oh, it's hatred within
The hearts of men, full of that envious
Jealousy stuff, cause they rather be us
He got a lack of self-love, and I love myself
So much, I don't put nothin' but God above myself
You ain't got to shoot me, hater, I bust myself
Cause I'm so gassed up, I blow up myself
I know, I know, I Know hater that you've been hatin' me
You just can't wait to see
See my brains hangin' from me, dangling
I know, I know hater, that he's protectin' me
Protected by G-O-D
I pray to him faithfully, watch over me
Lord, watch over me
Keep these haters far away from me
Far away from him
The same sun shine on me, shine on you too, so why you hatin'
Send me nothin' but love in abundance
Lord, protect me from my haters
Keep me safe from anybody that wanna be Judas or try to snake me
Keep me safe, Lord
In Jesus' name, we pray' good things
Amen
Keep snakes away from me lord
Let him get stepped on by an elephant
Or picked up by an owl
Or eaten by an eagle
