The final track off the Everybody Knows EP! "You Know You Did" features a powerful spoken word by the one and only Eff-One. He addresses society and social media, touching on subjects of the heart with a delicacy only he can!
lyrics
Spoken Word:
Two shattered souls saunter down the street (ok)
Both preoccupied with problems, their eyes don’t even meet (mhm).
But little do they know both are facing similar problems,
If they work together, they might not be able to solve them (yeah).
But the they can find kinship in their similar struggle,
But their attraction to their despair creates an unseen bubble (okay).
You see, a lack of real communication defines our generation (true).
Social media and the internet be the reason that it happened, y’all (that’s true).
Too busy filming real life to be present while it’s actually happening y’all
Man, and I’m just sitting here ‘cause ain’t nobody doin shit to solve it (yeah, you’re right!)
‘Cause you got too many people on welfare (yeah) and the elite wanna take away their Obamacare (fuck!)
Those people from the part of town that you don’t go but know they’re living in hell there (keep going!)
Where killing is so common that it ain’t even news (Tell the truth!)
Oh, are these truths uncomfortable for you?
It’s happening, that’s what should concern you! (Shit)
But it’s evident that the truth doesn’t concern us
Because if that was the case, wouldn’t no one listen to Fox News (Fuck ‘em), MSNBC, CNN
Or none of that bullshit news you see on TV (Fuck ‘em!)
But they still do regardless.
And I’m just venting my mind through what defines me as an artist, this rap shit. (Keep going, we need it, alright?)
I mean how couldn’t I when the instruments sound so sick? (The game needs it!)
So I do what I gotta do, this flow is more poetry, out of pocket yet heartfelt so you know it’s me. (Eff-One!)
And to us as a group, yo that’s where the props be owed (Damn right!)
And that’s just something EVERYBODY KNOWS!
Breakdown
Chorus:
You know you did, you know you did
You know you did, you know you did
You know you did, you know you did
You know you did, do me right!
You know you did, you know you did
You know you did, you know you did
You know you did, you know you did
You know you did, do me right!
