I Know Better

[00:01.28] They say sing what you know
[00:04.32] But I've sung what they want
[00:07.37] Some folks do what they're told
[00:10.80] But baby this time I won't
[00:14.15] When I look through that door
[00:17.54] I know the truth from lie
[00:20.75] Some things I've done before I can't justify
[00:25.87] There are kings in my past
[00:29.17] Things no one can be proud of
[00:32.24] But I stand in the light I've cast
[00:35.47] And turn away from any lack of love
[00:38.67] Oh, when I walked through that door
[00:42.48] I say here I go
[00:45.44] You see me and nothing more
[00:48.03] I'm singing what I know
[00:50.98] I know better
[00:57.46] I know better
[01:03.62] Legend is just a name
[01:06.57] I know better than to be so proud
[01:09.52] I won't dream in all this fame
[01:12.76] I'll take more love than I'm allowed
[01:16.40] I won't hide or cut it off from where it came
[01:22.57] My history has brought me to this place
[01:28.33] There's power in the color of my face
[01:33.16] And I know better
[01:37.06] Oh-oh, I know better
[01:44.81] Oh, I'll rise from the floor if I don't win
[01:50.79] I'll bust open that door so let me in
[01:54.43] And if music chooses me to sing I let her
[02:00.82] I'll sing what I know, yes
[02:06.97] I know better, oh
[02:13.52] I know better, yes
[02:19.64] I know better
[02:26.14] I know better
[02:30.13]
