Knew U

Lyrics

[Intro] And, still, I gotta ask You could've told me [Chorus] And I thought that I knew you Better than that, better than that Better than that, better than that And I thought that I, I knew you Better than that, better than that Better than that And I thought that I knew you Better than that, better than that Better than that, better than that I thought that I knew you Better than that (So), better than that (So) Better than that (So), better than that, better than that [Verse 1: Bootie Brown] From the beginning, it was known Had a brother here, but now he's gone (Real gone) He's not six deep, find him on 6th Street His mind, now mincemeat, sleeping on concrete Can tell when she went to sleep, she's still weak About a big bro, overdid it one day Decide to hit her, no booze, no drugs, no players No thugs, no love, no hugs When she caught me, found the stash in the coffee Call me from the payphone, speaking real softly That I've broken the seal of trust On her way to her momma house on the bus "It was all for us, don't make a fuss" She said, as the tears shed, explained that she felt misled She couldn't take the pain if I was jailed Or found dead or from one upside the head I tried to convince her, only happens to a few How could I question after all she's been through? She said she felt bad, but there's nothin' I could do I thought I knew, I thought I knew [Chorus] And I thought that I knew you Better than that, better than that Better than that, better than that And I thought that I knew you Better than that (Yeah), better than that Better than that (My man), better than that, better than that [Verse 2: Imani] Yeah, me and my mans go back, way before the music I'd never thought that he would lose it and do that Always used to be in my house, now I can't wait to smack the taste out his mouth They say that money is the root of all evil, but not having money is the root of all evil Chilling, talking, walking with my people Talking the walk about how shit gon' be, we gon' rock under Any circumstances, when I'm on the microphone You know we advancin', with or without ya, can't fuck with ya We try to forget ya 'cause we're trying to get richer [Chorus] And I thought that I knew you Better than that, better than that Better than that, better than that And I thought that I knew you Better than that, better than that Better than that, better than that, better than that [Outro] And I thought that I, I knew you Better than that, better than that Better than that, better than that
