I Know, Right?

IKR is a song inspired by my 13 year old daughter, Karianna. I make no claims as to an actual understanding of Karianna and her friends -- that would be insulting. But it wasn't too long ago that I was 13 years old, and though I can't walk around in her shoes for her, I certainly do care what she's going through.

IKR (Skot Pollok / Chance Derek Gregory)


I like to know just what you are
Not that I care what you're going through
I like to think that the distance between us is there
For a pretty good reason....


But what you don't understand is that "everything" is
part of the plan -- and you can
either let go -- and drop down out of the flow -- or you can
Grab on with both hands and -- start squeezing


I like to think there's a greater good than
the One that we keep in our -- pockets
I like to know that there's a reason we fight
and it doesn't really matter -- what you call it
Your secret schools are all just -- "mystery meat"
There all -- grist for the grill that I'm smokin' on
Your precious secrets don't mean nothing to me
They're just -- tender for the fires -- that I'm stokin' on


But what you don't understand
is that -- every little thing is only -- part -- of the plan
And you can either step in to a suicide booth or
you can -- grab on with both hands -- and stop teasin'


I Know, Right?
I said you know I know you know I know right


I like to know just what you are
Not that I care what you're going through
I like to think that the distance between us is
Relative to Time and Dimension


But what you don't understand is
that -- everything you dream Is also -- part of the plan
and you can -- either come clean -- and get reborn in a dream
Or take a bubble-bath and stop all yer screamin'


I Know, Right?
I said you know I know you know I know right
