What I know I should say
(What I know ain't always how shit goes)
Ain't how it's always played
(Something that ya prolly know)
But before y'all take off go home
Lemme go and take the face off y'all know
Everybody that I love everyone I owe
Imma bring y'all straight up 'fore the day I go, so
This for the people I owe, that never fold
Anytime I ever needed you were close
Picking pieces when I broke most don't ever fucking see us when we low
So I'm tryna show some love cause when I needed y'all the most
I could reach into my phone and then just dial up
See if I ever hit the floor y'all pick the tile up
Traveling miles from that hometown in hopes that some would go down
But we were making no sound said hit that flow get riled up
See you mild bruh it's time kick it then flip it
Been witnessing you with these bitches and
It's fun when you up in it but tell me
Where it really fucking get you when you're finished
Cause in the end you gone be pissed
And that's plain fucking facts
Cause if you miss this shot now then there's no taking it back
You wan be famous then act
And quit hanging round these women bro just stay in your bag
Without them words I prolly never would've made it in rap
And so I thank you for that
What I know I should say
(What I know ain't always how shit goes)
Ain't how it's always played
(Something that ya prolly know)
But before y'all take off go home
Lemme go and take the face off y'all know
Everybody that I love everyone I owe
Imma bring y'all straight up for the day I go, so
Everything that I know, I learned it on porch steps
I learned it from daily free styling with zero we swore that we up next
Stuck in a state of confusion the fame is amusing and more hexed
Doing away with illusions I search for the truest and cut necks
I started at sixteen, I wanna be living like HOV do
It's only my daddy on bottles and momma destroyed if I'm fraid what it come to
Got no where to run to, my niggas say come through
That's a different approach that I hope and the block is what too many lost to
Fast forward now I've dropped What About Before
Now my mentors them niggas I had idolized allure
Made its way into the fore-
Front of stages I was sure
This would be that time that caged bird finally get to soar
And now I'm forever grateful for the ones who kept me grounded
Through the highest moments know exactly who I want surrounded
I search for silver linings knowing only thing I know
Wouldn't be Tre if it weren't for the ones I owe
So I'm grateful for that
What I know I should say
(What I know ain't always how shit goes)
Ain't how it's always played
(Something that ya prolly know)
But before y'all take off go home
Lemme go and take the face off y'all know
Everybody that I love everyone I owe
Imma bring y'all straight up for the day I go, so
