I Know

(album: Ignatius - 2020)

[John Legend & Jadakiss:]
Hey
Let me pour a round
Everybody knows
Everybody

[Jadakiss:]
Let me start this by saying that you're the one I want
A mistake ain't a mistake if you do it more than once
Like the pain don't stop, we been through it more than once
'Fore the streets could tell you, you already knew it from the jump
I'm never home, I'm on the road, partying and stuff
I fucked up, yeah, I know, "Sorry" ain't enough
Heart beating, mind racing, Ferrari on the hutch
It's a shame, 'cause we done came too far to give it up
Three beautiful boys and there's a part of them in us
Cuts turning to scabs, and then the scars shrivel up
At the end of the day, my plans are to live it up
It's nobody to blame, it's just me, trust me

[John Legend & Jadakiss:]
Nobody ever told me, it'd be easy
Nobody ever promised me no pain
Nobody ever said, "There's always sunshine"
Sometimes, it's gonna rain (Trust me)
It's gonna rain
Oh-oh-oh, I, I know
It's gonna rain (I know)
It's gonna rain
Oh-oh-oh, I, I know
It's gonna rain (Yeah)

[Jadakiss:]
Ignatius Maurice Jackson, if you knew him, then you loved him
When you seen him, you would dap him, then you hugged him
Good energy, everybody dug him
He dealt with me when I was hard-headed and stubborn
Yeah, now I'm giving you Jason
He helped me see the light in some dark situations
Bought hits, told me that only needed the vocals
You could feel the vibes the minute that he approached you
I was seeing money, I wasn't seeing the wealth
He seen things in me that I ain't see in myself
We built something, you gone, now I'm seeing it melt
And it's crazy 'cause the Lord knows I needed your help, damn

[John Legend & Jadakiss:]
Nobody ever told me, it'd be easy
Nobody ever promised me no pain (Damn)
Nobody ever said, "There's always sunshine"
Sometimes, it's gonna rain (I know)
It's gonna rain
Oh-oh-oh, I, I know
It's gonna rain
It's gonna rain
Oh-oh-oh, I, I know
It's gonna rain (Pain)

[John Legend:]
If you wanna go to Heaven, you got to take the chance
You crash and burn, oh, yeah
If you looking for real love, don't be afraid
That it might hurt

Nobody ever told me, it'd be easy
Nobody ever promised me no pain
Nobody ever said there's always sunshine
Sometimes, it's gonna rain
It's gonna rain
Oh-oh-oh, I, I know
It's gonna rain
It's gonna rain
Oh-oh-oh, I, I know
It's gonna rain

(Where's all the pain inside?)
