lyrics

from the beginning
it was known
had a brother here, but now he’s gone
he’s not six deep
you can find him on 6th street
his mind now minced meat sleepin on concrete
I could tell when she went to sleep
she still weep about her big brah
overdid it one day decided to hit her
No booze, no drugs
No players, no thugs
No love, no hugs
when she caught me
found my stash in the coffee,
called me from the payphone
speakin real softly
that I had broken the seal of trust
on the way to her mama’s house on the bus
it was over for us
don’t make a fuss she said
as the tears shed
explained that she felt mislead
she couldn’t take the pain
if I was jailed or found dead
or if I went upside her head
I tried to convince her that it only happens to a few
How could I question after all she’s been through?
she said she felt bad but it’s nothing I could do,
I thought I knew you
thought I knew you
(Chorus)
(And I thought that I knew you, better than
that, better than that, better than that, better than
that 2X)my mans and them
Me and my mans go way back before the muszak
I never thought he would lose it and do that
always used to be at my house
now I can’t wait to smack the taste out his mouth
they say that money is the root of all evil
but having no money is the root of all evil
chillin talkin walkin with my people
talking to walk
about how shit gone be
were gonna rock under any circumstances
when I ‘m on the microphone
you know we’re advancing
with or without cha
can’t fuck with cha
trying to forgive ya
cuz we’re trying to get richer
(Chorus)
(And I thought that I knew you, better than
that,
better than that, better than that, better than that,
2X)
