You should know
You should know
You should
You should know that I tell the harsh truth
The wind blows, won't be no sugarcoats
My points feel like a shark's tooth, sometimes
My point of view might exhaust you, sometimes
I like to look at shit obtuse, baby
I like to do shit in prime too, baby
I wasn't thinking about you
I like to move with the wind
You should know it like I know the back of my hand
I mean, I ain't saying fold for whatever I'm saying
I'm saying, you should know my angles before we make any plans to be
Praying you understanding me
You should know
I can't make no space for you (been on my own too long)
You should know
You shoulda, I coulda
Every single shoulda, woulda, coulda
Hindsight really make a nigga shudder
Hindsight a bitch
Hindsight will hit
In hindsight, it clicked
In hindsight signs did exist
I'm fighting this
Reality, be honest with yourself
Everything just sits like novels on a shelf
Libraries of me denying flags or signs I should've seen
But guess this loop was just a sign for you to speak
Speak then
Memories are vivid, see 'em
Still, I have to grieve them
Message in a bottle, swallow truth or swallow semen
Weathering this journey but this route was never scenic
Oh, this route was never
This route was never easy
But the square of it will surely be my reason
All this anger has the countenance of demons
All this anger means that there was truly feelings
How you seem to think that words would bring me healing?
Words you could've said, could've read, could've wrote
I hope the hindsight make you sip and choke
I keep you on a need to know
And nigga you don't need to know, you need to grow
I capsized all my feelings, it's a sinking boat
You should know
I tried to make space for you, been on my own too long
Don't even make space for myself, I mean
You should know that I'm the type to not ask for help, I'm saying
You should know I feel weak I don't it myself, I mean
I ain't tryna be on no stealthy shit
But often I just keep to myself
I seen niggas keep a leash on their health
'Cause they couldn't muzzle the need for the wealth
I seen a nigga brown eyes turn green
Then he hated, you should know it got me jaded
Funny how that works, you should know I'm probably faded most of the time
The older I get, my pops faded out of my mind
But you should know that's plaguing me too
It's not the visual I usually paint but it's true
These ain't the greatest parts of me, but they a part of me too (you should, you should)
It's light, it's also dark in me too
I guess it all depends on which voice you harkening to
They laying stains on some carpets or shit
We sharpening shit
You should know I'm confident too
The way these niggas tend to marvel at truth
I know they won't believe we marbled the rye
You should know if they not blind then they partially blind
I see you clear when I'm near, when I'm farther behind
I know you know your face card don't decline
And you a dime, but, we could do it all on my dime
Thought you should know
And I ain't finna play with your time, hope you can tell
Don't play me, please don't pay me no mind
You what I need
A considerably finer wine, a Zinfandel
And admittedly, girl, I'll decline
But been compelled to definitively make up my mind and I arrived at you
You should know
I tried to make space for you been on my own for too long
Don't even make space for myself, I mean
You should know that I'm the type to not ask for help, I'm saying
You should know that I feel weak do it myself, I mean
I ain't tryna be
You should know
I tried to make space for you been on my own for too long
You should know
You should know
