Knowing What I Know Now Lyrics – Ariana DeBose

Knowing What I Know Now Text

---

[ASHA]
You've been deceived
Magnifico is not the man he claims to be
He's more vicious than I could have ever comprehended
When I made a wish and stars came down
This is not what I expected or intended
But now that it's happened I don't regret it
'Cause now I've seen
Him show his true colors in shades of green
Saying that you wishes aren't safe because of me and
That's a lie, lie, lie, lie
And I-I know I can't do this on my own and

If it's not us then who and whеn?
If we don't fight he knows he wins
Not allowеd
Knowing what I know now
The lengths he'll go there's no amount
I won't sit back watch this play out
That's my vow
Knowing what I know now

[DAHLIA, ENSEMBLE]
Get up, yah!
Know I'm not the only one that's (Yah)
Fed up (Yah)

[DARIO, ENSEMBLE]
Wait 'till they hear our feet go dun, dun, dun, dun (Yeah)

[HAL]
I don't think he's prepared for what's coming

[ENSEMBLE]
A revolution hit the ground runnin'

[ASHA, ENSEMBLE]
If there's one thing he can't keep down
Uh-huh

[DAHLIA & ASHA, ENSEMBLE]
It's us and the strength we've found
It's too loud
Loud

[ASHA]
Knowing what we know now

[ENSEMBLE]
Knowing what we know now

[GABO, ENSEMBLE]
And who, who knows if we'll succeed?
But we—
[HAL, ENSEMBLE]
Won't stop and we won't retreat or turn round
Round

[ASHA]
Knowing what we know now

[ENSEMBLE]
Knowing what we know now

Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hah-hoo-hah-hoo-hah
Hoo-hoo-hoo

[SAFI]
Can he tell what we're becomin'? (Hoo)

[DARIO]
Hear it in the way we're drummin' (Hoo)

[BAZEEMA]
I was sweet but now I'm something else (Hoo)

[ENSEMBLE]
Yah, yah, yah, yah! (Hoo-hoo)
[DARIO]
Ain't it nice of us to drop in (Hoo-Hah)

[HAL]
To take what's ours to take it back in? (Hoo-Hah)

[GABO]
He thinks we're nothing (Hoo)

[ASHA]
But we're something else! (Hah)

[ENSEMBLE]
Yah! (Hoo)

[QUEEN AMAYA, ENSEMBLE]
I've seen too many bad things that I can't keep count
Hoo-hah, hoo-hah
He loves one thing more than himself
Hoo-hah, hoo-hah
His crown (Crown)
Hoo-hah
Knowing what I know now
Hoo-hah-hah-hoo-hah

[ENSEMBLE]
Knowing what I know now (Hoo-hah-hoo)

[QUEEN AMAYA, ENSEMBLE]
The good in him I've watched it melt
Hoo-hah, hoo-hah-hah
I was fooled by the love I felt
Hoo-hah, hoo-hah
So profound (Ahh)
Hoo-hah
Knowing what I know
Hoo-hah

[ASHA]
I know (Hoo)

[DAHLIA]
I know (Hah)

[DARIO, HAL, & GABO]
We know now (Hoo)

[ENSEMBLE]
Knowing what we know now
