I Already Know
Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please please tell me now
I made a break I run out yesterday
Tried to find my mountain hideaway
Maybe next year maybe no go
I know you're watching me every minute of the day yeah
I've seen the signs and the looks and the pictures
There's a dream that strings the road
With broken glass for us to hold
And I cut so far before I had to stay
Please please tell me now is there something I should know
Is there something I should say that would make you come my way
Do you feel the same 'cause you don't let it show
People stare and cross the road from me
And jungle drums they all clear the way for me
Can you read my mind can you see in the snow
And fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door
Don't say you're easy on me you're about as easy as a nuclear war
'cause the dream that strings the road with broken glass for us to hold
And I got so far before I had to say
Please please tell me now is there something I should know
Is there something I should say that would make you come my way
Do you feel the same 'cause you don't let it show
Please please tell me now is there something I should know
Please please tell me now can you see what makes me blow
Please please tell me now is there something I should know
Is there something I should say that would make you come my way
The lyrics to Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire's song "I Already Know" are actually a cover of Duran Duran's 1983 hit song "Is There Something I Should Know?". The song is about the frustration and confusion of unrequited love. The singer is asking their love interest for clarity, asking if there is something they should know or say that would make their love interest feel the same way about them. The chorus, "Please please tell me now", emphasizes the singer's urgency and desperation for answers, wanting to know if the love interest truly feels the same way or not.
The verses describe the singer's attempts to find solace in isolation, possibly highlighting their vulnerability and loneliness. However, they are unable to shake the feeling that they are being watched and scrutinized by their love interest. The bridge of the song references the idea of a "dream that strings the road with broken glass for us to hold", which could symbolize the fragility and difficulties of navigating relationships.
Overall, the song highlights the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the need for clear communication in relationships.

I made a break I run out yesterday
I left abruptly yesterday
Tried to find my mountain hideaway
I was trying to find a place to hide
Maybe next year maybe no go
Uncertain if I'll come back
I know you're watching me every minute of the day yeah
I'm aware that you're always keeping an eye on me
I've seen the signs and the looks and the pictures
I notice your clues and hints about me
They give your game away yeah
They reveal your intentions
There's a dream that strings the road
There's an ideal that motivates us
With broken glass for us to hold
It's a dangerous journey
And I cut so far before I had to stay
I went as far as I could before being forced to stay
People stare and cross the road from me
I'm treated like an outcast
And jungle drums they all clear the way for me
My presence creates a buzz
Can you read my mind can you see in the snow
Can you understand me and what I'm going through?
And fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door
Your arrival causes chaos and excitement
Don't say you're easy on me you're about as easy as a nuclear war
You're not making things easy for me
Please please tell me now is there something I should know
What do I need to know?
Is there something I should say that would make you come my way
What do I need to do to get you to notice me?
Do you feel the same 'cause you don't let it show
Do you have the same feelings for me but hide them?
Please please tell me now can you see what makes me blow
Can you see what triggers me or makes me react?

@AgentCryptic
Straight shot[1] of Holy water to exorcise(exercise) my demons
Got'em out on a couple[2] legs, begs by bloody screamins
With the All Holy Trinity[3] I walk amongst infinity
Got a cadre(quatre)[4] of Archangels showerin' me in His Divinity
Got a fifth[5] of Anointing Oil that mark His Holy Royals
Seeing through the mixed lens of His sixth[6] sense
Burnin' incense to mark the Menorah[7] branch that toils
Ate[8] up the Holy Communion remember that Holy Union
At the Ninth[9] hour His might n power did devour Light
Too dark, the ten-t[10] of heaven tore, bore a mark of blight
Judas seeing that hell'll vent [11], went hellbent on death's reunion
They dwell of(12) Herod taking head of prophecy; Maker's cousin
He called Saul as Paul to make all apostle's, baker's dozen[13]
Diss and spit cause of His name, John 7:7[14] in the pulpit
This ain't tryin' to be flame, [15] minute fame shit
At [16] I knew I'd live eternal by His Throne. Sit
John 7:7 "The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify that its works are evil."
(The menorah (/məˈnɔːrə/; Hebrew: מְנוֹרָה [mənoːˈɾaː]) is described in the Bible as the seven-lamp)
The Lord YHWH is the Maker of all Wisdom, and even His foolishness is wiser than the wisdom of man.

[Verse 5: El-P]
Straight shots of the sterno plus, wick stuck in the bottle empty
Three blocks to the target we lit it and lob it hard at Sentry
Four pigs of the oinking variety guard the market entry
Five minutes of flames and then aim the whistle my father lent me
Six o'clock we meet up and divvy the shells among the youngins
Seven continents in the shit and smoke like it's fuckin London
Just before they ate up the funds our harmony love was bumping
Now government issue nines are pointed where your blood is pumping
Tend to mop up these muttering zombies talker pieces
El'll vent on you harder than Fukushima breezes
In the end when a dozen or so ajourn to reason
You'll find the verdict return corrupted in murderous seasons
With inverted 31's and other unlucky omens
Thats why I chug 7 and 7's til I'm fucking homeless
And every time you think my fifteen minutes of fame are up
I'll spit another sixteen to prove to the world I fucking own it
@SlimeSeason4
El-P counted to 16 and here I am just sitting here like a fucking schmuck
