You Know
King Allico Lyrics

Sometimes things happen in life
Life can be unpredictable and throw unexpected challenges at you

That you not ready for
Those challenges may come at a time when you feel unprepared

But everything gon' to be alright
Despite the challenges, things will eventually work out in the end

And you already know
You have the strength within you to overcome these challenges

Hold your head up, don't you cry
Even in the toughest moments, don't lose hope and try to stay strong

Cause everything gon' be alright
Believe in yourself that you will be able to overcome any obstacle

You already know
You have the strength to persevere

No no no no
Expressing certainty that things will work out

This life get hectic, I know
Acknowledging that life can be stressful and difficult

No really hectic I know
Reiterating that the struggles of life are not taken lightly

Like how long you say you been waiting on that blessing
Recognizing that sometimes it can take a long time to see the fruits of your labor

I know
Acknowledging and empathizing with the struggle

All those countless nights on your knees
Offering sympathy to those who have prayed and begged for relief from their struggles

It's like they nailed to the floor
Describing the feeling of being trapped and unable to move forward

Only way to escape it
Implying that the only way to move forward is to keep going

Nowhere else you can go
Highlighting that there may not be an easy solution to the problem

You tried this, you tried that
Acknowledging that nothing has seemed to work so far

You tried it all I know you wanted to stay on go
Recognizing that despite trying everything, they still wanted to keep pushing forward

But you got put on pause, I know
Describing a point where they were forced to stop and things slowed down

And I know cause I can relate
Identifying themselves as someone who has been through similar struggles

See I done been in that place
Emphasizing that they have personally experienced the same struggles

Fell short to sin in that place
Admitting their own failures and imperfections

And had to repent in that place
Acknowledging their own need for redemption and forgiveness

I'm exempt no sir or ma'am
Admitting that they are not better than anyone else and have also made mistakes

I'm not your superman
Clarifying that they are not a perfect savior, but can still offer support and guidance

Everybody done fell short
Affirming that everyone has made mistakes and has their own struggles

And gon' fall again
Suggesting that everyone will continue to face challenges in the future

And I can't save you, not at all
Reiterating that they cannot singlehandedly fix everything for others

But I can help you though
Offering assistance and support

And I know that I done said a lot
Recognizing that they have offered a lot of advice

But I got one more thing, one more thing to tell you though
Offering one final piece of advice or encouragement

Dig
A colloquial expression to call attention or action to something

On second thought I got a second thought
Revising a previous statement and sharing a different perspective

Now that you know I can relate
Implying that the artist no longer feels alone in their struggle

I'm really bout to set it off
Conveying an eagerness to share advice or offer support

Sometimes you feel all by your lonesome
Describing a sense of loneliness and feeling disconnected

Ain't got no fam or no friends
Implying there is a lack of support from family and friends

Like you don't get no love at all
Expressing an internal struggle with feeling alone and unloved

Heartbroken and what they did, It go unspoken
Acknowledging that there may be unspoken pain and heartbreak

It's like you love them, they hate you
Describing a feeling of unrequited love and negative responses from others

But you just go on hoping, for the best
Offering a message of hope despite the current struggle

They prey on you but you pray they blessed
Describing a situation where someone may harm you, but you wish good for them

You try to figure it out, But it just make you more stressed
Describing a struggle to solve a problem and how it can make things worse

Keep it cool, use them jewels in your crown king
Offering encouragement to maintain composure and to recognize one's own self-worth

Hold your head, let them see your jewels in your crown queen
Offering encouragement to stay confident and to be proud of oneself

And if you just can't stop them tears, cry
Encouraging the release of emotions and acknowledging that it is okay to cry

Let it flow, and know you giving God control once you let it go
Emphasizing the importance of submitting to a higher power and allowing it to guide them through the struggle
