How to Format Lyrics:

• Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
• Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
• Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
• Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
• If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Hitting #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Rap Tracks in 2006, T.I.’s “What You Know” is a classic little ditty of the “I’m cooler than you in every possible way” variety

Judging by his impressive arrest record the self-proclaimed “King of the South” (take that Lil Flip!) may truly know “all about that”

The music video features T.I preparing for his ATL premiere. The video also features a couple of ATL scenes, including cameo appearances by the actors.
