Knew Better

(album: Reckless Endangerment - 2019)

Said
If you knew better
You would better do better
And I do but I choose not to
Hey
If you knew better
You would better do better
And I do but I choose not to
Hey
If you knew better
You would better do better
And I do but I choose not to
Hey
If you knew better
You would better do better
But I don't and I still got you

Woke up still drunk from the night prior
Burnt bridge green text from the 5-5
Advil had thrive and the eyes tired
With a face that everyone think that I'm lying
But the truth really seep out the pores
I been out my mind, drink to keep out of yours
The habits and rap shit is par for the course
But me with a crush how you geek out a Porsche (shit is gross)
Huh
I've been tryna work on my self
Put a couple off who done murdered my help
Lost a couple job cuz my head up in the clouds
Went through it for a sec but I earn what I felt
Yeah I'm certain I fell from the great '06
Started running round with them skate park kids
Mama wasted money on a football camp
So I been on a mission tryna pay back since
Had to fake my growth for the pussy
Had to call kids my bro for some money
I done stole shit when I promised that I wouldn't
Backpacks, iPhones, debit cards
Wasn't looking so it was karma when it happened
I'ma take it with a grain
[?] stutter when they try to ask my name
[?]
We really one the same
Are you loving but complaining
How that shit never changed telling me like

If you knew better
You would better do better
And I do but I choose not to
Hey
If you knew better
You would better do better
And I do but I choose not to
Hey
If you knew better
You would better do better
And I do but I choose not to
Hey
If you knew better
You would better do better
But I don't and I still got you

Coming over every week for the same mediocre
Visit just to fuck up, fall right back into the sofa
Always looking good but she ain't ever what I'm hoping
(Always looking good but she ain't ever what I'm hoping)
It's entincing, ain't it? So inviting ain't it?
I was fire bout now thinking "I might not make it"
Did the speak but it's sweet
Baby I'm so tasteless
While the room upstairs screaming "I'm so vacant"
Let's go
Hop into your vert
This money made me pretty
And I know what I'm worth bitch
Riding through the city and it's one thing for certain
This chain gon swing nicely on whatever kirkland
Or corner store purchase I pull out my dresser
PM I trunk my excuses to pressure
Why would I, shit, I got issues to fix
And my shoulder got both, I can't tell which is which
Angel or demon my mind on the fritz
Filled it with wreckage and amateur flicks
I tell a grown man to stand on his word
I tell his daughter come handle this dick
I fan out to see 'em
I mismanaged the chips
I'm never at ease, I been in my feelings
And I know you wanna come hop in this ride
But you don't get to preach on how I live life
Telling me like

If you knew better
You would better do better
And I do but I choose not to
Hey
If you knew better
You would better do better
And I do but I choose not to
Hey
If you knew better
You would better do better
And I do but I choose not to
Hey
If you knew better
You would better do better
But I don't and I still got you

Still got you
Still got you
Snot nosed nigga watch cartoons
Mama try and made me cut if off soon
Fairly odd parents gets so fairly odd now
Look around I done fuck around and lost too
Timmy timmy turner he was wishing on a burner
With designer on a nigga made the wrong move
Shit
My pops tried talk to him
Told him, "Swim in that water, catch a harpoon"
Shit could've been me that's perspective
Told him put the drugs down, that's neglection
But a hook put em on that's elections
Nigga came up hard that's erections
See myself in this nigga that's reflections
Shit
At time's feeling like my soul got lost
Still connected to the streets
Til them roads got crossed
Bleeding on the asphalt
That's your own ass fault
Swear I hold so much
Planted some seeds
I done grown so much
Blood on the leaves
I done sold so much
To get where I'm at
Feel like my own nemesis
Having battles with them
My soul dwindling
Getting pulled off rejection, hoes sitting there
Shit
As I write this script
Just got to picture what Shady told Eminem

If you knew better
You would better do better
And I do but I choose not to
Hey
If you knew better
You would better do better
And I do but I choose not to
Hey
If you knew better
You would better do better
And I do but I choose not to
Hey
If you knew better
You would better do better
But I don't and I still got you

Give me space, give me love
Give me drank, give me drugs
Give me pains I can tell my homies
Give me drank, give me funs
Give me fakes
Give me friends that can heal my lonely
Heal my lonely...
Heal my lonely...
Heal my lonely...
Heal my lonely...
