[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
They say sing what you know
~#**************#~
But Ive sung what they want
~#**************#~
Some folks do what theyre told
~#**************#~
But baby this time I wont
~#**************#~
When I look through that door
~#**************#~
I know the truth from lie
~#**************#~
Some things Ive done before I cant justify
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
There are kings in my past
~#**************#~
Things no one can be proud of
~#**************#~
But I stand in the light Ive cast
~#**************#~
And turn away from any lack of love
~#**************#~
Oh, when I walked through that door
~#**************#~
I say here I go
~#**************#~
You see me and nothing more
~#**************#~
Im singing what I know
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I know better
~#**************#~
I know better
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Legend is just a name
~#**************#~
I know better than to be so proud
~#**************#~
I wont drink in all this fame
~#**************#~
Ill take more love than Im allowed
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
I wont hide or cut it off from where it came
~#**************#~
My history has brought me to this place
~#**************#~
This power and the color of my face
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
And I know better
~#**************#~
Oh, I know better
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
Oh, Ill rise from the floor if I dont win
~#**************#~
Ill bust open that door so let me in
~#**************#~
And if music chooses me to sing I let her
~#**************#~
Ill sing what I know, yes
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I know better, oh
~#**************#~
I know better, yes
~#**************#~
I know better
~#**************#~
I know better
