Pharcyde - Knew U lyrics

And I still, gotta ask

You could've told me

[Chorus: repeat 4X]

and I thought that I knew you

better than that, better than that

better than that, better than that

[Verse 1: Booty Brown]

So, So, So

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 mince meat, 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 booz, no drugs, no playaz

no thugs, no luv 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's house

on the bus, it was old for us, don't make a fuss

she said, as the tears shed, explained that she felt

mislead, she couldn't take the pain if I was jailed

or found dead, or if I'd went onside her head

I tried to convince her, only happens to a few

How could I question, after all she'd been through

she said she felt bad, but there was nothin I could do

I thought I knew, I thought I knew

[Chorus] - 2X

[Verse 2: Imani]

Yeah, me & my man's go back way before the music

I'd never thought that he would lose it and do that

all year he used to be in my house, but now I can't wait to

smack the taste out of 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 goin' be, we gonna rock under

any circumstances, when I'm on the microphone

you know we advancin', with or without you, can't fuck with you

we try to forget you, cause we're trying to get richer

[Chorus]
