Know Better
Headie One Lyrics

They should know better
Other people should know better than to cross me or my crew.

Melo beats Trap house mob
Melo produces better music than the Trap House Mob.

Bad B on the nizz
There's a bad girl on the line who's interested in me.

You really think I went upsie for scrum
Do you actually believe I put myself at risk to get involved in a fight?

Live corn in the shh
We're living life on the down-low, keeping things quiet.

I could’ve let it in the uni room (Shh)
I could have brought something dangerous into the university dorm room (but I didn't).

But I know better
I'm smarter than that and won't take such a risk.

Opps wanna see me get nicked with a shh
My enemies hope to see me get caught with a weapon.

Next day shh got-got by shh (Bow)
The very next day, one of my enemies was taken out by another one.

Gang done got down two this week that's shh and shh (Turn turn turn turn)
Our crew eliminated two people this week, referred to as 'shh' and 'shh'.

Don’t see me in the flesh and don’t make man leak (Told me turn)
Don't come looking for me in person, I don't want to have to hurt anyone.

Man do shit for the gram and tweet
People these days do things only for likes and attention on social media.

Man rise that shh and skeet (Shh)
I picked up my weapon and fired off some shots (censored).

How many shh shh shh shh
How many shots were fired?

Let's see (One)
Only one shot hit its target.

Man could’ve put it on the net
I could have posted it on social media.

When gang done chinged up shh (Shh)
When my crew stabbed our enemy referred to as 'shh'.

And the bros didn’t neither
My friends didn't post anything about it online either.

Man just left it to the media (Simple)
We left it to the news or gossip outlets to report on instead.

They say I took a L in L (Turn turn)
Others claim that I lost in some way, but in reality I won.

But shh made a W in W (Turn turn)
My enemy 'shh' may have claimed to win, but in reality they didn't.

Anything green get wah then oh lord (What)
Whenever I see anything green, I get excited and feel blessed (a reference to money).

Know better (Turn turn turn turn)
I am aware of how to handle myself and my business without putting myself at risk.

Anything shh shh excellent finish Mo Salah (Turn turn)
I'm good at doing things quietly and with precision, just like Mo Salah's excellent soccer finishes (scoring goals).

How man tell me buss my shh
How many people suggest I carry a weapon with me.

Only cah they know I’m on camera
People suggest this because they know I'm always being watched (by the authorities).

They want me in the bin Osama (Turn)
My enemies want me to be locked up in jail (calling it 'the bin') like Osama Bin Laden.

That would’ve been four summers (Suh suh)
If I did get arrested, I would have spent four summers locked up in jail.

Let me know if your favorite rapper would've shh shh shh
Ask your favorite rapper if they would have done what I did.

You feel me still out here B
I'm still surviving and thriving out here, you know what I mean.

Lobster steak and these things (Turn turn turn)
Enjoying the finer things in life, such as lobster and steak.

Old friends doing up commentary
My old friends are now talking and commenting on what my crew is doing.

But they forgot that shh got shh
But they should remember that one of my enemies got taken out by another.

Then they came over here with the mandem
Then my old friends joined forces with my current crew.

And that’s just be cah Abz made Robbery (Turn turn turn turn)
That's only because Abz (a member of our crew) made the song 'Robbery'.

Everybody do it for the net so much
Everyone is too focused on their social media presence these days.

They forget to go do their job properly
They forget to do their actual job or duty, instead focusing on social media.

Shh done chinged down shh
My crew stabbed or attacked somebody called 'shh'.

Put one on the wing I was playing Monopoly (One)
We got someone sent to jail (the 'wing') while playing the board game Monopoly.

Still see me on the opp block open toe (Trackie and sliders)
My enemies can still see me near their territory, but I'm feeling relaxed and casual in my tracksuit and sandals.

I could’ve put shh on the net
I could have posted a video or picture of my enemy getting hurt on social media, but I didn't.

We'll either get some food from Blue Nile restaurant or attack someone at Kervans car wash (both places are mentioned earlier in the song).

Them boy there neeks cheff game on fleek
Those guys don't know how to stab or kill very efficiently.

Just copped new sweets straight cash no deets
We just bought some new guns (referred to as 'sweets') with cash and didn't document anything (no details).

Ring trap all week (Trapping)
We're focused on making money by selling drugs and are on the phone all week to facilitate this.

People changed their online profile information after interacting with me, to show off or seem tough.

I've created some sort of impact or lasting change in your friend group.

Try put gang on a vid (Then what)
If someone tries to film my crew doing something, what will happen next?

Twenty-four hours later
Just one day later.

Shh got slapped with a stick (Oh well)
One of my enemies got beaten with a weapon and I don't really care.

Now opps can’t stand on their strip (No way)
Now our enemies can't even go to their usual area, let alone stand there confidently.

All now I don’t know who my paigons are
I'm not even sure who my fake or disloyal friends are anymore.

Cah them man don’t wanna buck me (Runners)

We'll go over to their territory with our weapons (called 'brucky') and scare them (a gunshot sound effect).

If I don’t hit one then they’re lucky (Lucky)
If I don't manage to attack or hurt someone, it's just because they got lucky.

But I’m still gonna try my best (Real talk)
I will always keep trying to attack our enemies or handle business, speaking honestly.

Blow my ting and take him out the game
Use my weapon to attack and take someone out of our way or 'out the game'.

I’m like the ref (Red card)
I'm in charge and making sure things happen fairly, like a referee giving someone a red card (to kick them out of the game).
