I Always Knew Lyrics
I always knew I would one day be here
But I couldn't be a puppet on a string
I've had my fights
Often I've been KO'd
But I've got back up
No I won't give in
And now I know how it works
If you're too nice, you lose
I'm gonna make it to the top
Well let me show you
And if I've to toughen up
Then that is what I'll do
Don't make me a monster baby
You'd be crazy that's for sure
Becoming a bitch is not
What I got into music for
Remember back to a bench in wales
Where two young boys
Started mocking me
I looked at them
Thought I'll show you one day
But I didn't fight or stand up for me
And that young girl's learnt the hard way
If you're too nice, you lose
I'm gonna make it to the top
Well let me show you
And if I've got to toughen up
Then that is what I'll do
Don''t make me a monster baby
You'd be crazy that's for sure
Becoming a bitch is not
What I got into music for
I'll make it crystal clear
That I am not going anywhere
As long as there is music
I'll be here, here
Oh oh oh
I'm gonna make it to the top
Well let me show you
And if I've got to toughen up
Then that is what I'll do
Don't make me a monster baby
You'd be crazy that's for sure
Becoming a bitch is not
What I got into music for
I'm gonna make it to the top
Well let me show you
And if I've got to toughen up
Then that is what I'll do
I've sold you a million baby
Not just maybe that's for sure
Given the chance I'll show you
I can sell a zillion more
But I couldn't be a puppet on a string
I've had my fights
Often I've been KO'd
But I've got back up
No I won't give in
And now I know how it works
If you're too nice, you lose
Well let me show you
And if I've to toughen up
Then that is what I'll do
Don't make me a monster baby
You'd be crazy that's for sure
Becoming a bitch is not
What I got into music for
Where two young boys
Started mocking me
I looked at them
Thought I'll show you one day
But I didn't fight or stand up for me
And that young girl's learnt the hard way
If you're too nice, you lose
Well let me show you
And if I've got to toughen up
Then that is what I'll do
Don''t make me a monster baby
You'd be crazy that's for sure
Becoming a bitch is not
What I got into music for
That I am not going anywhere
As long as there is music
I'll be here, here
Well let me show you
And if I've got to toughen up
Then that is what I'll do
Don't make me a monster baby
You'd be crazy that's for sure
Becoming a bitch is not
What I got into music for
Well let me show you
And if I've got to toughen up
Then that is what I'll do
I've sold you a million baby
Not just maybe that's for sure
Given the chance I'll show you
I can sell a zillion more

Jem is one of the rare pop musicians who are this flexible. Her albums are filled with so much variety, from ballads, to ambient music, much more, and finally trip hop, which is what style this song is in. It's perfect! Basically how I feel about her compared to all the other female pop stars who sell their souls for sexualized commercialism. Jem is about integrity and honesty! This song is about her journey to establish her place as a musician in the verses, and the chorus is about her continued journey to top all the corperate fat cats with her superior genuine music.
