I Know Better Lyrics - 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
