Lyrics provided by https://www.lyricsplug.com/ ---I Know Better--- --John Legend-- They say sing what you know But I've sung what they want Some folks do what they're told But baby this time I won't We'll look through that door I know the truth won't lie Some things I've done before I can't justify There are kings in my past Things no one can be proud of But I stand in the light I've cast Turn away from any luck of love Oh, and I walk through that door I say here I go You see me and nothing before I'm saying what I know I know better I know better Legend is just a name I know better than to be so proud I won't dream in all this fame I've taken more than I'm allowed I wanna highly cut it all from where it came My history has brought m to this place There's power in the color of my face And I know better Oh oh oh I know better Oh I'll rise from the floor without a wing I'll bust open that door so let me in And if music chooses me to sing I'll let her I'm saying what I know, yes I know better Oh I know better Yes I know better I know better
