Knew Better - Travis Thompson, Reason

Said

If you knew better

You would better do better

And I do but I choose not to

Hey

If you knew better

You would better do better

And I do but I choose not to

Hey

If you knew better

You would better do better

And I do but I choose not to

Hey

If you knew better

You would better do better

But I don’t and I still got you

Woke up still drunk from the night prior

Burnt bridge green text from the 55

Advil had thrive and the eyes tired

With a face that everyone think that I’m lying

But the truth really seep out the pores

I been out my mind, drink to keep out of yours

The habits and rap shit is par for the course

But me with a crush how you geek out a Porsche (shit is gross)

Huh

I’ve been tryna work on my self

Put a couple off who done murdered my help

Lost a couple job cuz my head up in the clouds

Went through it for a sec but I earn what I felt

Yeah I’m certain I fell from the great '06

Started running round with them skate park kids

Mama wasted money on a football camp

So I been on a mission tryna pay back since

Had to fake my growth for the pussy

Had to call kids my bro for some money

I done stole shit when i promised that I wouldn’t

Backpacks, Iphones, debit cards

Wasn’t looking so it was karma when it happened

I’ma take it with a grain

Stutter when they try to ask my name

We really one the same

Are you loving but complaining

How that shit never changed telling me like

If you knew better

You would better do better

And I do but I choose not to

Hey

If you knew better

You would better do better

And I do but I choose not to

Hey

If you knew better

You would better do better

And I do but I choose not to

Hey

If you knew better

You would better do better

But I don’t and I still got you

Coming over every week for the same mediocre

Visit just to fuck up, fall right back into the sofa

Always looking good but she ain’t ever what I’m hoping

(Always looking good but she ain’t ever what I’m hoping)

There’s some type there ain’t it

So inviting ain’t it

I was fire bout now thinking «I might not make it»

Did the speak but it’s sweet

Baby I’m so tasteless

While the room upstairs screaming «I'm so vacant»

Let’s go

Hop into your vert

This money made me pretty

And I know what I’m worth bitch

Riding through the city and it’s one thing for certain

This chain gon swing nicely on whatever kirkland

Or corner store purchase I pull out my dresser

PM I trunk my excuses to pressure

Why would I, shit, I got issues to fix

And my shoulder got both can’t tell which is which

Angel or demon my mind on the fritz

Filled it with wreckage and amateur flicks

Tellin' a grown man to stand on his word

And his daughter come handle this dick

I fan out to see 'em

I mismanaged the chips

I’m never at ease, I been in my feelings

And I know you wanna come hop in this ride

But you don’t get to preach on how I live life

Telling me like

If you knew better

You would better do better

And I do but I choose not to

Hey

If you knew better

You would better do better

And I do but I choose not to

Hey

If you knew better

You would better do better

And I do but I choose not to

Hey

If you knew better

You would better do better

But I don’t and I still got you

Still got you

Still got you

Snot nosed nigga watch cartoons

Mama try and made me cut if off soon

Fairly odd parents gets so fairly odd now

Look around I done fuck around and lost too

Timmy timmy turner he was wishing on a burner

With designer on a nigga made the wrong move

Shit

My pops tried talk to him

Told him, «Swim in that water, catch a harpoon»

Shit could’ve been me that’s perspective

Told him put the drugs down, that’s neglection

But a hook put em on that’s elections

Nigga came up hard that’s erections

See myself in this nigga that’s reflections

Shit

At time’s feeling like my soul got lost

Still connected to the streets

Til them roads got crossed

Bleedin' on the asphalt

That’s your own ass fault

Swear I hold so much

Planted some seeds

I done grown so much

Blood on the leaves

I done sold so much

To get where I’m at

Feel like my own nemesis

Having battles with them

My soul dwindling

Getting pulled off rejection, hoes sitting there

Shit

As I write this script

Just got to picture what Shady told Eminem

If you knew better

You would better do better

And I do but I choose not to

Hey

If you knew better

You would better do better

And I do but I choose not to

Hey

If you knew better

You would better do better

And I do but I choose not to

Hey

If you knew better

You would better do better

But I don’t and I still got you

Give me space, give me love

Give me drank, give me drugs

Give me pains I can tell my homies

Give me drank, give me funs

Give me fakes

Can you find something to heal my lonely?

Heal my lonely…

Heal my lonely…

Heal my lonely…

Heal my lonely…
