I know
I know
I know
I know
I know
I know
I know
I know
It's kinda funny when life throws a curve in
Next thing you know you sayin' "how the hell I get here"
That's the kinda situation that I'm in
I talk about it and you tell me if you been there
I got a shawty (uh huh)
Who's got a homie (uh huh)
No matter what I do she wont let me go
Damn I wish I woulda just said no
'Cause I know
(I know)
You got a man in your life
( I know) (I know!)
I got a girl in my life (yeah)
( I know) (this I know)
We shouldn't be here this way
'Cause if these walls could talk
I wonder what they say (wonder what they say)
(Oh baby I know)
Now every time I hear my phone ringing I'm scared
'Cause I'm thinking shawty's gonna put me out there
I got way too much to lose to be playin'
Don't know how to get her to hear what I'm sayin'
I say stop, she says go
She yells yes, I say no
Oh man I'm goin' crazy
And I'm trippin' 'cause ain't no way
I can explain this to my baby
Oh baby I know
(I know)
You got a man in your life (you got a man in your life)
( I know) (and I know)
I got a girl in my life (I got a girl in mine)
( I know) (this I know)
We shouldn't be here this way (ah yeah)
'Cause if these walls could talk
I wonder what they say (said I know just what they say)
(Oh baby I know) (baby!)
What is there to talk a ('bout)
Girl we need to work it (out)
Said we need to cool it (now)
'Cause I'm already wrong I can't keep hurtin' my baby
What is there to talk a ('bout)
Ain't no need to work it (out)
Do you hear me?
Listen to me
'Cause we gotta let it go
I know
(I know) (I know)
You got a man in your life (you got a man in your life)
(I know)
(And I got a girl in mine) I got a girl in my life
(I know) (and that ain't right)
We shouldn't be here this way ('cause we can't keep on living like this)
'Cause if these walls could talk
I wonder what they say (and we gotta call it quits)
(Oh baby I know) (hey!)
(I know) (I know)
You got a man in your life (you got a man in your life)
(I know)
(And I got a girl in mine) I got a girl in my life
(I know) (and that ain't right)
We shouldn't be here this way ('cause we can't keep on living like this)
'Cause if these walls could talk
I wonder what they say (and we gotta call it quits)
(Oh baby I know) (hey!)
The chorus of the song "All I Know" by Kid Ink feat. Sterling Simms is extremely repetitive with the phrase "I know" being repeated ten times. However, it is the verses that are the standout in this song. The verses describe a situation of being in a relationship but not wanting to be in it. It is as though the couple is looking for an easy way out but they can't seem to find it. The situation becomes even more complicated for Kid Ink as he finds out that his partner already has another man in her life. The lyrics go on to describe the difficulty Kid Ink faces in trying to express himself and get his partner to understand his point of view. He finds himself constantly in conflict not only with her but also with himself.
The song is a narrative on a universal theme of love gone wrong. The lyrics describe the turmoil and complexity of relationships that have gone sour. The song’s chorus is a reminder to the listener that sometimes we know what is best for us even when it may not be easy to face the truth. The lyrics also explore themes of jealousy, mistrust, and regret. The verse "every time I hear my phone ringing I'm scared, 'Cause I'm thinking shawty's gonna put me out there” is an indication of the mistrust Kid Ink faces towards his partner.
