"What You Know" is produced by DJ Toomp from Zone Boy Productions and utilizes an interpolation of Roberta Flack's version of The Impressions's "Gone Away".
The track was rumored to be a diss song directed at fellow Dirty South rapper Lil' Flip.
According to the last verse when he says "You say you want to squash it, what you still talkin' shit for" and "Video or not, dawg, I'll bust until the glock stop" referring to the videotape that T.I. supposedly has of a fight between him and Flip.
There are two official remixes of this song. One, most notably, including Lil' Wayne.
The song has also been used in promotion of the film ATL, in which T.I. plays the lead role.
What You Know
T.I. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
일찍 일어나 너에게 전활 걸죠
잠은 잘 잤어? 밥은 먹었어?
너무 설레는 오늘 yeah
널 위해 사둔 선물을 손에 들고
니가 있는 그곳으로 난 향하죠
오늘 뭐 할까?, 넌 뭘 좋아할까?
I can love you everyday 오늘 뭐 할래요?
함께 영화 볼래요? 나만 따라와요 ooh-hoo
I can love you everyday 오늘 뭐 할래요, 둘이서?
단둘이서만 ooh-hoo
어, 미안해요, 제가 너무 늦었죠
왔으면 됐어요
근데 우리 오늘 뭐 할래요?
어, 글쎄요?
그럼 일단 따라와 봐요
오늘따라 자꾸 신경 쓰게 돼
걸음걸이 손짓, 너를 보는 눈빛
오늘을 위해 사둔 jacket
아 몰라, 부끄러운 볼과
널 보러 가는 내 마음은 자꾸 불 나
어떤 말을 해야 할까?
우리 같이 오늘 뭐 할까?
눈만 마주쳐도 기분이 좋아져
미치도록 니가 더 좋아져
그냥 이대로 시간이 멈추길
너 모르게 나 빌어 볼래 (hoo)
I can love you everyday 오늘 뭐 할래요?
함께 영화 볼래요? 나만 따라와요 ooh-hoo
I can love you everyday 오늘 뭐 할래요, 둘이서?
단둘이서만 ooh-hoo
I know about you girl
오늘도 이렇게 시간이 가죠 oh-oh
You know about me girl
그대와 함께라서 행복할 수밖에 없죠
I know about you, girl (you know about me, boy)
행복한 기억은 추억으로 남죠
I know about you, girl (you know about me, boy)
너와 평생 함께하고 싶어
이제부터 시작할래 너와 나로
아침에 부은 너의 눈도
난 매일매일 보고 싶고
자꾸 배실배실 웃게 돼 또
칙칙하고 답답한 내게 영혼을 불어넣어 준
넌 마치 프리지아 꽃 uh
어제보다 오늘보다 내일 더 잘할게
딴 데 보거나 그러지 마 꼭 uh
I can love you everyday 오늘 뭐 할래요?
함께 영화 볼래요? 나만 따라와요 ooh-hoo
I can love you everyday 오늘 뭐 할래요, 둘이서?
단둘이서만 ooh-hoo
I can love you everyday 오늘 뭐 할래요? (우리 뭐 할래요, 오늘?)
함께 영화 볼래요? 나만 따라와요 ooh-hoo
I can love you everyday 오늘 뭐 할래요, 둘이서?
단둘이서만 ooh-hoo
