You Know
Tynee Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Yo, Yeah I'm juggin' so I hardly write, I'm in and out this car all night
Quiet but don't ask me why, I've seen some shit I'm scarred for life
She's vexed cuh when I pull up I ain't staying, I'm just passing by
I can't afford to lose or slow it down, I live the fastest life
Hovis and they know this all I know is make that bread
Fully focused and they notice, I can never take a cheque
Niggas hopeless, I control this, take the risk and take the step
They win a card and play the rest but I'm the type to chase the deck

I want it all, but out here you can get pitched for tryna ball
Never listened up in school, to hit the strip is what I was taught
Niggas hit a 20 quid and think they're rich and hit the store
With my first 20 quid, it's half a brick I went and bought, and flipped the change
See the thing is me and them, we ain't the same
And I ain't interested in fame, I'm tryna catch the money train
And I ain't rocking with a lame,
I got it popping in the rain
I'm gear dropping in the Range and Roley copping for the pain

Yo I'm coming from the block (You Know)
In and out the spot (You Know)
Careful cuh they watch (You Know)
There's envy at the top (You Know)
Everyday I wake I'm giving thanks for what I got (You Know)
Top and then she gotta go, cuh I can't take a loss (You Know)
Coming from the block (You Know)
In and out the spot (You Know)
Careful cuh they watch (You Know)
There's envy at the top (You Know)
Everyday I wake I'm giving thanks for what I got (You Know)
Top and then she gotta go, cuh I can't take a loss (You Know)

Hella parro so I gotta keep it local
Studio or kitchen and I'm mixing like it's Pro Tools
If it wasn't for this music, you would catch me with no socials
And the winter ain't the only time you catch me with a snowball
Cuh I'm rapping what I live
Stopped the deals, I gotta max it every flip
Virus hit and niggas pissed, they said they stacked but never did
Chatting wass but never gripped,
I never lacked, I got it hid
If there was awards for getting to it, I'd have plaques for hitting strips
I had to grow up quick and be the man, they never grew, they're Peter Pan
I'm seeing bands before I'm seeing bands, you know I'm seeing grams
Bitches spreading rumours cuh they never get to speak to man
Can't show a normal person, they get nervous when they see my plans
I'm dropping niggas out if they ain't on what I'm about
And I'm never offline, I've always got it, what's a drought
From a youngin, I weren't bugging, I was on the paper route
Now every time I leave my crib, I gotta bring the stainless out

Yo I'm coming from the block (You Know)
In and out the spot (You Know)
Careful cuh they watch (You Know)
There's envy at the top (You Know)
Everyday I wake I'm giving thanks for what I got (You Know)
Top and then she gotta go, cuh I can't take a loss (You Know)
Coming from the block (You Know)
In and out the spot (You Know)
Careful cuh they watch (You Know)
There's envy at the top (You Know)

Everyday I wake I'm giving thanks for what I got (You Know)
Top and then she gotta go, cuh I can't take a loss (You Know)
