  • She knows
    She knows, ayy
    Bad things happen to the people you love
    And you find yourself praying up to Heaven above
    But honestly, I never had much sympathy
    'Cause those bad things, I always saw them coming for me
    I'm gonna run, run away, run, run away, run away (oh, I, oh, I-I-I)
    Run away and never come back (well, alright)
    Run, run away, run, run away, run away (oh, I, oh, I-I-I)
    Show 'em that your color is black (well, alright)

    Damned if I do, damned if I don't
    You know I got a girl back home
    You got a man, what you want? What you want?
    What these bitches want from a nigga?
    On some DMX shit
    I know them other niggas love trickin'
    On some BMX shit, but not me
    Now I'm sure you done heard 'bout me
    A black star, Mos Def, Kweli
    Good, so them bad hoes try me, they try me
    This is Martin Luther King in the club, gettin' dubs
    With a bad bitch in his ear sayin' that she down for whatever
    In the back of his mind is Coretta

    And she knows, she knows
    And I know she knows and I know she knows
    And deep down she knows, she knows
    And I know she knows and I know she knows

    Well, alright, oh, I, oh, I-I-I
    I can't be what you want from me, well, alright
    Oh, I, oh, I-I-I
    I can't be what you want from me, well, alright

    Damned if I do, shit, damned if I don't
    I'm passing up on bad hoes
    Tryna be the man that she want, what she want
    What she, what she want from a nigga?
    To put a ring on it
    Got a bitch on my dick right now
    And she just wanna sing on it, uh
    Got me up so high, tryin' get a piece of that apple pie
    I be up so high, tryin' get a piece of that apple pie
    Dancehall vibe with my pants on fire
    'Cause I told her I was sleep
    As I creep with this pretty young thang that I chose
    And she could be doing the same thing, I suppose

    And she knows, she knows
    And I know she knows and I know she knows
    And deep down she knows, she knows
    And I know she knows and I know she knows

    Well, alright, oh, I, oh, I-I-I
    I can't be what you want from me, well, alright
    Oh, I, oh, I-I-I
    I can't be what you want from me, well, alright

    My niggas say, "Turn up," hoes say, "Turn up"
    Only bad thing 'bout a star is they burn up
    Niggas say, "Turn up," hoes say, "Turn up"
    Only bad thing 'bout a star is they burn up
    Rest in peace to Aaliyah
    Rest in peace to Left Eye (Left Eye)
    Michael Jackson, I'll see ya
    Just as soon as I die (I die)

    Got me up so high, tryin' get a piece of that apple pie
    I be up so high, tryin' get a piece of that apple pie
    Got me up so high, tryin' get a piece of that apple pie
    I be up so high, tryin' get a piece of that apple pie

    Well, alright, oh, I, oh, I-I-I
    I can't be what you want from me, well, alright
    Oh, I, oh, I-I-I
    I can't be what you want from me, well, alright

    Run away, run away, back
    (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
    Run away, run away, back
    (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
    Run away, run away, back
    (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
    Run away, run away, back
    (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Writer/s: Jermaine L. Cole, Madeline Foline McKenna, Ryan Michael Mattos
