I was watching and old Bobby brown/Whitney Houston show and I heard her say "Hell To The Know". I remembered how that became a popular saying after she said it and I wondered if i could flip it around into a positive. Hence: "Hail To The Know" was born.

All hail to the know, All hail to the know
I am more than just a conqueror risen from the garbage and I know it. And I say: Hail to the know yeah
I’m product of the ghetto overcoming expectations and I know it. And I say: Hail to the know yeah
You said that I should never strive for greatness, you said that I was from the stinking garbage
I know your lies were hateful and outrageous. You never tried to help me or encourage
I know the truth and I now I have the answer. No longer fooled by everything you told me
Now I know love and now I know the spirit. I live for love and I know how to give it.
I am more than just a conqueror risen from the garbage and I know it. And I say: Hail to the know
I’m a product of the ghetto overcoming expectations and I know it. And I say: Hail to the know yeah
There was no one who cared or came to rescue. I was confused like I deserved that treatment
But now I know that it was not my issue. You hurt me bad but I was not defeated
Now I have love so deep its overflowing and I know that I am worthy of those feelings.
Now I have faith in those who really love me and I know love is what you never gave me.
I am more than just a conqueror risen from the garbage and I know it. And I say: Hail to the know
I’m a product of the ghetto overcoming expectations and I know it. And I say: Hail to the know yeah
If you know that you know you can overcome then say it: All hail to the know.
If you know you are more than just a ghetto child then say it: All hail to the know.
So there you are. I’m telling you the truth and not pulling any punches
Reach for the sky and soon you will receive blessings by the bunches
You have the right to choose to do what’s right and to choose to follow wisdom
You can achieve anything you try open up your heart and listen
Color can’t send you to hell or define who you are be all you can be
You must know that you know so well you can achieve anything if you know and believe
In yourself uh, get it done now, don’t stop now until you’ve won now
Make it funky now so everyone will know that you’re a child of the king just say “All hail to the know”.
Get your hand up! If you know that you know that you know that you know yeah
Get your hand up! You can do anything deep in your heart believe
I am conqueror risen from the garbage and I know it. And I say: Hail to the know
I’m a product of the ghetto overcoming expectations and I know it. And I say: Hail to the know yeah
All Hail to the know! Get your hands up! And I say hail to the know
Young brothers and sisters don’t you know, you are heirs to the kingdom. And if you didn’t know now you know. All hail to the know!
