[Background Sample] Bad things happen to the people you love And you find yourself praying up to heaven above But honestly I’ve never had much sympathy Cause those bad things, I always saw them coming for me I’m gonna run run away, run run away, run away Run away and never come back Run run away, run run away, run away show ‘em that your color is black
[Intro] She knows, she knows Oh I, oh I-I-I Alright Oh I, oh I-I-I 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 bitches want from a nigga On some DMX shit I know them other niggas 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 This is Martin Luther King in the club Getting dubs, with a bad bitch In his ear sayin' that she down for whatever In the back of his mind is Coretta
[Hook] 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 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, damned if I don't I'm passing up on bad hoes Trying to be the man that she want, what she want What she want from a nigga To put a ring on it Got a bitch on my dick right now And she just want to sing on it Got me up so high Trying to get a piece of that apple pie I be up so high Trying to get a piece of that apple pie Dancehall vibes with my pants on fire Cause I told her I was sleeping Cause I creep with this pretty young thing that I chose That she could be doing the same thing I suppose
