She Knows Lyrics
[Intro]
She knows
She knows, ayy
Bad things happen to the people you love
And you find yourself praying up to Heaven above
But honestly I never had much sympathy
‘Cause those bad things, I always saw them coming for me
I’m gonna run, run away (Oh, I), run, run away, run away (Oh, I, I, I)
Run away and never come back (Well, alright)
Run, run away, run, run away (Oh, I), run away (Oh, I, I, I)
Show ’em that your color is black (Well, alright)
[Verse 1]
Damned if I do, damned if I don’t
You know I got a girl back home
You got a man, what you want? What you want?
What these b!tches want from a n!gga?
On some DMX shit, huh
I know them other n!ggas love tricking
On some BMX shit, but not me
Now I’m sure you done heard about me
A black star, Mos Def, Kweli
Good, so them bad hoes try me, they try me, huh
This is Martin Luther King in the club, getting dubs, huh
With a bad b!tch in his ear, sayin’ that she down for whatever
In the back of his mind is Coretta
[Chorus]
And she knows, she knows
And I know she knows, and I know she knows
And deep down, she knows, she knows
And I know she knows, and I know she knows
[Refrain]
Well, alright, oh, I, oh, I, I, I
I can’t be what you want from me, well, alright
Oh, I, oh, I, I, I
I can’t be what you want from me, well, alright
[Verse 2]
Damned if I do (Shit), damned if I don’t (Uh)
I’m passing up on bad hoes
Trying to be the man that she want, what she want?
What, what she want from a n!gga?
To put a ring on it, uh
Got a b!tch on my d*** right now
And she just want to sing on it, uh
Got me up so high, tryin’ get a piece of that apple pie, uh
I be up so high, tryin’ get a piece of that apple pie
Dancehall vibe with my pants on fire
‘Cause I told her I was sleep
‘Cause I creep with this pretty young thing that I cho’
‘Cause she could be doing the same thing, I suppo’
[Chorus]
And she knows, she knows
And I know she knows, and I know she knows
And deep down, she knows, she knows
And I know she knows, and I know she knows
[Refrain]
Well, alright, oh, I, oh, I, I, I
I can’t be what you want from me, well, alright
Oh, I, oh, I, I, I
I can’t be what you want from me, well, alright
[Bridge]
N!ggas say, “Turn up,” hoes say, “Turn up”
Only bad thing ’bout a star is they burn up
N!ggas say, “Turn up,” hoes say, “Turn up”
Only bad thing ’bout a star is they burn up
Rest in peace to Aaliyah
Rest in peace to Left Eye (Left Eye)
Michael Jackson, I’ll see ya
Just as soon as I die (I die)
Got me up so high, tryin’ get a piece of that apple pie, uh
I be up so high, tryin’ get a piece of that apple pie
Got me up so high, tryin’ get a piece of that apple pie, uh
I be up so high, tryin’ get a piece of that apple pie
[Refrain]
Well, alright, oh, I, oh, I, I, I
I can’t be what you want from me, well, alright
Oh, I, oh, I, I, I
I can’t be what you want from me, well, alright
[Outro]
Run away, run away—, back (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
Run away, run away—, back (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
