I Gonna Know You
©1999 Ola Onabule

Chorus
I gonna know you
there is good in knowing what lives
in someone like you

I’m beginning to see through
all the veil and mystery
That you don’t want broken through
I’m gonna know You
Watch out!

Verse 1
Can’t get over it , I never will
And I don’t ever hear ya, closing in for the kill
and I’m disorientated, you got me thrown
I would come armour plated, If I’da Known

Bridge
You think you got me on the wrong foot
But I won’t come tumbling down
You must have read me in the wrong book
Watch out I ain’t leaving town

Verse 2
Don’t want no part of it , It’s not my thrill
Of pain and tragedy, I've had my fill
reborn and reignited is my resolve
to never be subjugated, history won’t revolve

Spoken Word
My aim is to know you
To nestle myself in the furthest reaches of your subconscious
Till all your mental contortions and spiritual gyrations are but refracted shafts
Of the very light that serves the illumination of the path to my purpose
To know!
I’ll know you in the dawn
Unpeeled, uncooked, unprepared, uninitiated.
In your moments of momentous joy and pain
Till only through knowing that I have known you,
Will we both be human again
