Now You Know
Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

You know
I feel like
I'm being played wit
My time being played wit
My money being played wit
Snakes I can't stay wit
My time being played wit
My money being played wit
Snakes I can't stay wit
(Yo, let's go!)
Yo, my time being played wit
My money being played wit
(Uh)
Snakes I can't stay wit
Poking out the grass
Listen you'll know
You was a real one
Now it's a thrill (Run)
Yet you still won
Kept it real fun
Fail to realize I ain't never been slow
Stories untold
Now I know (Uh huh)
Yo, my time being played wit (Uh)
My money being played wit (Yeah)
Snakes I can't stay wit
Poking out the grass
Listen you'll know
You was a real one
Now it's a thrill (Run)
Yet you still won
Kept it real fun
Fail to realize I ain't never been slow
Stories untold
Now I know
You must've thought that I was done
You must've thought that you had won
You must've thought that it was fun
Play me like checkers, you couldn't run
Can't understand how that was fun
How ya own friend turn into one
Turn for a second you had my gun
Can't believe I actually called you one
How come everybody playing
This ain't a game, I been saying
Who the hell came up with the saying
Time is money, I ain't playing
Why y'all still fucking around
Did I say to touch my crown
Came in the game without a doubt
I am next
Benefit of the doubt
Now give me a break
I cannot state
The fact that you've ate I still debate
Give me yo plate
They'll never see that I've actually had to scrape
I put on the cape
Become the great
All I want is to escape
Make a new way for those who may
Be overlooked but never will stray
Yo, my time being played wit
Money being played wit
Snakes I can't stay wit
Why you still stay with the ones that cut you in the back
Have you not noticed
Look at ya stack
Smaller and smaller
Ya money been snatched
Gotta sit back, think for a sec
Not everybody wanna see you win and that's facts
Your closest friend took a knife and looked at your back
Yo, my time being played wit
My money being played wit
Snakes I can't stay wit
Poking out the grass
Listen you'll know
You was a real one
Now it's a thrill (Run)
Yet, you still won
Kept it real fun
Fail to realize I ain't never been slow
Stories untold
Now I know
You out ya fucking mind
I'm the one just give it time
I could never play wit mine
Working hard just to find
I don't want a nine to five
I don't want to sit and find
Eight years later, I've wasted time
Playing me you gone be hard to find
Now end up in a ditch this time
Jail cell not my way, I'm fine
Tryna find my way this time
Who the hell gone give me mine
Not nobody else but myself
Tell yourself be yourself
Everybody tryna be somebody else
Nobody ever stay true to they self
Now I know
You was never real
You was
Seasonal
Yo, my time being played wit
My money being played wit
Snakes I can't stay wit
Poking out the grass
Listen you'll know
You was a real one
Now it's a thrill (Run)
Yet, you still won
Kept it real fun
Fail to realize I ain't never been slow
