Tell Everybody That You Know
Kanye West feat. Lil' Wayne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm cold, I'm cold, I'm cold
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I got the right to put up a fight
But not quite 'cause you cut off my light
But my sight is better tonight and I might
See you in my nightmare, oh, how did you get there?
'Cause we were once a fairytale but this is farewell

I got my life and it's my only one
I got the night, I'm running from the sun

So goodnight, I made it out the door
So goodnight, I made it out the door
So goodnight, I made it out the door
So goodnight, I made it out the door

After tonight there will be no return
After tonight I'm taking off on the road
I'm taking off on the road

And that you know
Tell every one that you know
That I don't love you no more
And that's one thing that you know, that you know

Okay, I'm back up on my grind
You do, you and I'm just gone do mine
You do you 'cause I'm just gone be fine

Okay, I got you out my mind
The night is young, the drinks is cold
The stars is out, I'm ready to go
You always thought I was always wrong

Well, know you know
Tell everybody, everybody that you know
Tell everybody that you know
That I don't love you no more
And that's one thing that you know, that you know

I got the right to put up a fight
But not quite 'cause you cut off my light
But my sight is better tonight and I might
See you in my nightmare, oh but how did you get there
'Cause we were once a fairytale but this is farewell

Baby girl I'm finished
I thought we were committed
I thought we were cemented
I really thought we meant it

But now we just repentin'
And now we just resentin'
The clouds is in my vision
Look how high I be gettin'
And it's all because of you

Girl we through
You think your shit don't stank
But you are Mrs. P. U.
And I don't see you with me no more
Now tell everybody that you know, that you know

That you know
Tell everybody that you know
That I don't love you no more
And that's one thing that you know, that you know

That you know
Tell everyone that you know




That I don't love you no more
And thats one thing that you know, that you know

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Tell Everybody That You Know" by Kanye West featuring Lil' Wayne explore a relationship that has ended and the singer's feelings of being liberated from it. The opening lines repeat the phrase "I'm cold" three times, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer feeling emotionally numb or closed off. They mention having the right to fight back against the other person, but ultimately acknowledging that they can't win without the other person's light. Despite this, the singer can see more clearly now and realizes that the relationship was not a fairytale, but rather a goodbye.


In the chorus, the singer says goodnight and that they are leaving and won't return. They acknowledge that they only have one life, and they are going to live it without the other person. The final verse further emphasizes the sense of liberation, as the singer is "back up on their grind" and over the other person. They mention feeling high, and it is implied that this emotional euphoria is due to being free from the relationship.


Overall, the song is about finding freedom and closure after a relationship ends. The singer is portrayed as the one who is moving on, and it appears that their newfound happiness is due to finally being released from the other person's hold.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm cold, I'm cold, I'm cold
I'm feeling distant and emotionless


I got the right to put up a fight
I have the ability to resist and defend myself


But not quite 'cause you cut off my light
But my power has been taken away from me


But my sight is better tonight and I might
But my perspective has improved and I could


See you in my nightmare, oh, how did you get there?
Visualize you as a nightmare, how did you get there?


'Cause we were once a fairytale but this is farewell
We used to be a dreamy combination, but this is goodbye


I got my life and it's my only one
I own my life and it's the only one I have


I got the night, I'm running from the sun
I have the night and I'm avoiding the light


So goodnight, I made it out the door
Goodbye, I successfully left the situation


After tonight there will be no return
After tonight, there's no going back


After tonight I'm taking off on the road
After tonight, I'm embarking on a journey


I'm taking off on the road
I'm starting a new chapter in my life


Tell every one that you know
Inform everyone you're familiar with


That I don't love you no more
That my love for you no longer exists


And that's one thing that you know, that you know
And this fact is something you're aware of


Okay, I'm back up on my grind
I'm back to working hard on my goals


You do, you and I'm just gone do mine
You do what you want, and I'll do my thing


The night is young, the drinks is cold
It's early in the night, and the drinks are refreshing


The stars is out, I'm ready to go
The stars are visible, and I'm eager to leave


You always thought I was always wrong
You always believed I was incorrect


Well, know you know
Now you realize


Baby girl I'm finished
My relationship with you is over


I thought we were committed
I believed we were dedicated


I thought we were cemented
I thought we were solid and secure

I genuinely believed we were sincere


But now we just repenting'
But now we're regretful

There are obstacles in my life


Look how high I be gettin'
See how successful and high up I'm becoming


And it's all because of you
But this improvement is not because of you


Girl we through
It's clear, we're over


You think your shit don't stank
You believe you're better than everyone else


But you are Mrs. P. U.
But in reality, you're not as great as you think


And I don't see you with me no more
I can no longer envision us together


Now tell everybody that you know, that you know
So go and tell everyone you're familiar with


That you know
That you're aware of what's going on


That I don't love you no more
That I no longer have feelings for you


And that's one thing that you know, that you know
And this is a reality you need to accept
