In 2010, Major Lazer released Lazerproof, a free download mixtape with pop sensation La Roux, and Lazers Never Die, an EP featuring two new tracks and three remixes, including one by Thom Yorke. One of the foremost breakthroughs for Major Lazer during this time was the production collaboration with BeyoncΓ© on her single βRun the World (Girls)β, which sampled their track βPon de Floor." BeyoncΓ directly sought out Switch and Diplo, recognizing the fact that they were creating authentically innovative music and further cementing their status as a production team worthy of worldwide mainstream attention. As 2011 turned to 2012, Switch determined it best to pursue his own path, leaving Diplo in full control of Major Lazer.
As the sole executive producer of Major Lazer, Diplo continued to spearhead the current dancehall revival movement with the 2013 release Free The Universe. That album included collaborations with Bruno Mars, Tyga, Flux Pavilion, Wynter Gordon, Shaggy, Wyclef Jean, Ezra Koening from Vampire Weekend, Dev and more. Spin called the LPβs first single "Get Free" featuring Amber Coffman of Dirty Projectors, "a meeting point between Jamaica, West Africa, and Brooklyn."
Diplo (AKA Wesley Pentz) has risen through the ranks and has asserted himself as one of the most pioneering producers of the time. Through unending curiosity and exploration of the vast multitudes of the worldβs musical heritages, Diplo has managed to seamlessly connect the global underground to the audio mainstream. He is the Grammy-nominated founder, owner and head honcho of Mad Decent records, which has not only garnered widespread critical and audience accolades since its inception, but has also deservedly earned a hefty reputation as a vanguard of groundbreaking releases. As Major Lazer, he retreated to Jamaica in 2012 to team up with producers Ariel Rechtshaid and Dre Skull on Snoop Lion's (Snoop Dogg) 2013 album "Reincarnated". Major Lazer was also featured on the title track from No Doubt's 2012 comeback album with famed dancehall artist Busy Signal and released an official remix for Hot Chipβs "Look At Where We Are".
Know No Better
Major Lazer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Straight up!
Wrist lookin' like it been dipped
Dipped in that, dipped in that, dipped in that
Script lookin' like it been flipped
Flippin' that, flippin' that, flippin' that
Pull up in that foreign, my God
Please say it ain't true
I had to go and cop two
Hell nah, we can't fit in that
Wild ones, like we fresh out the cage
Showtime baby, fresh off the stage
Bad lil' mama, fresh off the page
Front like you love it, but you know that you hate it
Yeah you know no better (no better)
Yeah you know no better
Yeah you know no better, ooh
Yeah, you know no better
Say you different, who you kidding?
Yeah, you know no better
O-oh, save that talk for the ones who don't know no better
'Cause baby I know you better
'Cause baby I know no better
Baby I know you better (baby I know)
Baby I know you better
Baby I know you better (straight up)
Baby I know you better
Baby I know, I know no better
Top dropped off on my whip
Wippin' that, wippin' that, wippin' that
Yellow and that purple on mix
Mixin' that, mixin' that, mixin' that
Copped my bitch from the tropics (yeah)
You know where she sitting at
Taking shots, pouring bottle after bottle after bottle
Hell nah, we ain't sipping that
Wild ones, like we fresh out the cage
Showtime baby, fresh off the stage
Bad lil' mama, fresh off the page
Front like you love it, but you know that you hate it
Yeah you know no better (no better)
Yeah you know no better
Yeah you know no better, ooh
Yeah, you know no better
Say you different, who you kidding?
Yeah, you know no better
O-oh, save that talk for the ones who don't know no better
'Cause baby I know you better
'Cause baby I know no better
Baby I know you better (baby I know)
Baby I know you better
Baby I know you better
Baby I know you better
Baby I know, I know no better
Quavo!
Drop top on the whip (drop top)
Dab of ranch on the chips (dab)
Ice cream gave her chills (ice cream)
Too much cash pay the bills
I make her ride Mercedes (skrr skrr)
I can afford the latest
Baby ignore the ratings (ignore 'em)
Just pull up, we pop out, we raging
We know no better (no)
Stack my bread up (stack)
Don't get fed up (nope)
Ain't gonna let up (yeah)
You told me to shut up (shut up)
But I'ma do better (huh?)
It's not my race (woo!)
Get out my face (get out)
Drop my case (drop it)
Which way? (where?)
Dat way
Yeah, you know no better
Say you different, who you kidding?
Yeah, you know no better
O-oh, save that talk for the ones who don't know no better
'Cause baby I know you better
Baby I know you better (straight up)
Baby I know you better
Baby I know you better
Baby I know you better
Baby I know, I know no better

Wrist lookin' like it been dipped
My wrist looks like it's been dipped in something shiny or expensive
Script lookin' like it been flipped
My handwriting or signature looks drastically different than it usually does
Pull up in that foreign, my God
We arrived in a luxury, foreign car that's impressive
Please say it ain't true
I hope what I've just heard isn't true
I had to go and cop two
I had to go buy two of something, probably two expensive items
Hell nah, we can't fit in that
We're too good or too cool for whatever it is we can't fit into
Wild ones, like we fresh out the cage
We're wild and free, like we've just been let out of confinement
Showtime baby, fresh off the stage
We just finished performing and it was amazing
Bad lil' mama, fresh off the page
There's a beautiful woman with us who looks like she came straight out of a magazine
Front like you love it, but you know that you hate it
You're pretending to enjoy something, but deep down you really don't like it
Yeah you know no better
You don't have enough experience to know better than what you're doing or saying
Say you different, who you kidding?
Stop pretending to be different or unique when you're really just like everyone else
O-oh, save that talk for the ones who don't know no better
Don't waste your lies or empty words on people who are easily fooled
'Cause baby I know you better
I know you well enough to see through your façade
Top dropped off on my whip
The top of my car is down
Yellow and that purple on mix
There are yellow and purple colors mixed together
Copped my bitch from the tropics
I got my girl from a tropical location, she's exotic
Taking shots, pouring bottle after bottle after bottle
We're drinking heavily and continually refilling our glasses
Hell nah, we ain't sipping that
We won't drink something we consider beneath our standards
Quavo!
This is a shoutout to Quavo, our collaborator on the song

The top of the car is down (as mentioned earlier)

I make my girl ride in a Mercedes and we're speeding away (skrr skrr is an onomatopoeia for the sound of a car acceleration)
I can afford the latest
I have enough money to buy the newest, most expensive things
Baby ignore the ratings (ignore 'em)
Don't worry about what other people say or think about us
Just pull up, we pop out, we raging
We're pulling up to a party and ready to have a great time
It's not my race (woo!)
This isn't about a competition or race, we're just enjoying our lives
Get out my face (get out)
Leave me alone or get out of my way
Drop my case (drop it)
I'll let go of my problems and just have fun
Which way? (where?) Dat way
Which direction should we go? That way
