If You Knew Me Lyrics - The Peoples Champ - Paul Wall

[Paul Wall] 

paul wall, im` the peoples champ 

it aint` easy bein the peoples champ 

its` the new me, new me; new me, new me 

true; a lot of struggles i done been through and still goin through 

let me show you what its` like to be me [paul wall, paul wall bby] 

im not your average guy; im more than meets the eye 

i know im friendly and fly; but let me tell you why 

i was abandoned at an early age 

my daddy was a dopefiend; i aint seen him since the second grade 

i sing the same song; baby dad; single mom 

i was always in the crawl; yet and still i was alone 

i kept my faith in GOD; even in my younger days 

i gave my life to CHRIST; got down on my knees and prayed 

and GOD answered our prayers and momma remarried 

all the burdens she carried; i must admit that it was scary 

somehow i got a real man as my father figure 

thangs started gettin better for my momma and my sister 

pain took me frm a boy to a man 

i knew id` make it to the end if i could stick to the plan 

people judge me off my music but they never even met me 

but id` introduce myself if you'd let me - paul wall bby

[Chorus: Paul Wall] 

see ive` been doin this here for a while 

eventually yall` boys gon` respect me dawg 

im` paul wall - until its over imma` ball til` i fall 

im` the greatest in a minute ch`yall 

let me tell you if you knew me [knew me] yeah the true me [true me] 

Not the glamour and glitz that ch`yall do see [do see] 

im` just a regular G; i gotta do me [do me] 

im bout` to introduce yall` boys to the new me; c`mon 

[Paul Wall] 

its` more to me than all this glamour and glitz 

i spent my whole life broke; im` just tryin to get rich 

i kept it real all my life; i never stepped on toes 

but somehow my friends keep turnin into my foes 

my ex keep callin` me, but i dont wanna talk to her 

so then she call the laws on me like im` the one stalkin her 

my new girl say i dont love her enough 

but all the hatin friends jealous cause i love her too much 

im` drinkin bottles of patron tryin to drink away my troubles 

but bein an alcoholic only make thangs double 

people judge me off my music but they never even met me 

but id` introduce myself if youd` let me - paul wall bby

repeat [Chorus] 

[Paul Wall] 

you think you know me mayn? but you dont` know me mayne 

juss` because you shake my hand dont mean that you my homie mayn 

its people prayin on my downfall 

and I cant understand why; cause i show love to alluh yall` 

people are grateful for the favors you show em` 

but when they need you for another one they still act like you owe em` 

everybody be takin credit for somethin they aint` do 

but you need to quit reachin and stand on your own two 

i always stayed humble, i never once changed 

i never got a ego or a big head cause of fame 

people judge me off my music but they never even met me 

but id` introduce myself if youd` let me - paul wall bby 

repeat [Chorus] 

[Paul Wall] 

im` paul wall, im the peoples champ 

but it aint` easy bein me 

i done put in my fair share of work, f`real 

passin out flowers at the club 

doin freestyles that dont go on mixtapes 

i aint` understand it then but; now I understand it 

it`s a bigger picture than just what you think 

you gotta think outside the box and try to make it 

its` chess moves; not checkers bby
