Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When my other bitch came thru unexpected
She was tripping, I was naked
I didn't answer the door she kept banging
I was high on the molly (High)
I wasn't even prepared for the drama (Drama)
She grabbed her heels and her robe
She snatched that bag crept up out that backdoor
I didn't even get to know ya
I didn't ev-, I didn't, I didn't even get to know ya
I didn't ev-, I didn't, I didn't even get to know ya
I did, I didn't get to know ya
I didn't get to know ya
I didn't get to know ya
I didn't get to know ya
Ain't this a bitch
Ain't this some shit
Hangin' on the door, I'm on the floor bangin' her ribs
What's your name? Forgot to ask her
This generation hella backwards
I didn't get to know ya but you gave me that ass first
Tell me beat it like your master
Damn I'm mad at her
She just little obsessed like this
I'm just a little bit stressed like this
I can't believe this real right now
Imagine how she feel right now
She dipped out, so quick y'all, so pissed off
I'm like hol' up
Didn't we just meet last night
Girl I don't even really know ya
But nigga got you coming outside
Now you fucking, goddamn I didn't even get to know ya
I didn't ev-, I didn't, I didn't even get to know ya
I didn't ev-, I didn't, I didn't even get to know ya
I did, I didn't get to know ya
I didn't get to know ya
I didn't get to know ya

Look what we done started

I ain't even, I ain't get to know ya
You ain't going for it
No, no, no, no, I call, you forward it
Say you movin' on (Say that you movin')
Say don't call no more
I didn't ev-, I didn't, I didn't even get to know ya
I didn't ev-, I didn't, I didn't even get to know ya
I did, I didn't get to know ya
I didn't get to know ya
I didn't get to know ya
I didn't get to know ya
The lyrics of "Know Ya" by Ty Dolla $ign talks about a sexual encounter with a woman who unexpectedly comes over while he is with his main girl. He is high on molly and doesn't answer the door, which causes her to get angry and leave. He reflects on the encounter and realizes he didn't get to know her, despite having sex with her. He blames the backwards generation for their behavior and seems upset that she left so quickly. He also acknowledges that he and the girl were not truly getting to know each other and that this sexual encounter was nothing more than a temporary physical connection.
The song's lyrics reflect on the shallow nature of modern relationships in the digital era, where people base their connections on physical intimacy rather than emotional intimacy or true connection. The use of drugs and alcohol to escape reality is also a significant theme in the song, as it shows that these substances can prevent people from forming meaningful relationships.
