She Knows Songtext
von J. Cole feat. Amber Coffman

She knows, she knows, ayy

Bad things happen to the people you love
And you find yourself praying up to heaven above
But honestly I′ve never had much sympathy
'Cause those bad things always saw them coming for me
I′m gonna run-run away, run

Oh, I (run away, run away)
Oh, I-I-I (run away and never come back)
Well, alright (run-run away, run-run away)
Oh, I (run away)
Oh, I-I-I (show 'em that your color is black)
Well alright


Damned if I do
Damned if I don't
You know I got a girl back home
You got a man, what you want, what you want
What these bitches want from a nigga
On some DMX shit
I know them other niggas love tricking
On some BMX shit
But not me
Now I′m sure you done heard about me
A black star, Mos Def, Kweli
Good southern bad hoes try me, they try me
This is Martin Luther King in the club
Getting dubs
With a bad bitch in his ear sayin′
That she down for whatever
In the back of his mind is Coretta

And she knows, she knows
(Bad things happen to the people you love)
And I know she knows, and I know she knows
(And you find yourself praying up to heaven above)
And deep down she knows, she knows
(But honestly I've never had much sympathy)
And I know she knows, and I know she knows
(′Cause those bad things always saw them coming for me)

Well, alright
(I'm gonna run-run away, run)

Oh, I (run away, run away)
Oh, I-I-I (run away and never come back)
I can′t be what you want from me
Well, alright (run-run away, run-run away)

Oh, I (run away)
Oh, I-I-I (show 'em that your color is black)
I can′t be what you want from me
Well, alright


Damned if I do (shit)
Damned if I don't
I'm passing up on bad hoes
Trying to be the man that she want, what she want
What she want from a nigga
To put a ring on it
Got a bitch on my dick right now
And she just want to sing on it
Got me up so high
Trying to get a piece of that apple pie
I be up so high
Trying to get a piece of that apple pie
Dance hall vibes with my pants on fire
′Cause I told her I was sleeping
′Cause I creep with this pretty young thing that I chose
That she could be doing the same thing I suppose

And she knows, she knows
(Bad things happen to the people you love)
And I know she knows, and I know she knows
(And you find yourself praying up to heaven above)
And deep down she knows, she knows
(But honestly I've never had much sympathy)
And I know she knows, and I know she knows
(′Cause those bad things always saw them coming for me)

Well, alright
(I'm gonna run-run away, run)

Oh, I (run away, run away)
Oh, I-I-I (run away and never come back)
I can′t be what you want from me
Well, alright (run-run away, run-run away)

Oh, I (run away)
Oh, I-I-I (show 'em that your color is black)
I can′t be what you want from me
Well, alright

Niggas say turn up, hoes say turn up
Only bad thing about a star is they burn up
Niggas say turn up, hoes say turn up
Only bad thing about a star is they burn up

Rest in peace to Aaliyah
Rest in peace to Left Eye
Michael Jackson, I'll see ya
Just as soon as I die (I die)

(Bad things happen to the peo-)
Got me up so high, trying to get a piece of that apple pie
I be up so high, trying to get a piece of that apple pie
(Honestly I've never had much sympathy)
Got me up so high, trying to get a piece of that apple pie
(′Cause those bad thing-)
I be up so high, trying to get a piece of that apple pie

Well, alright
(I′m gonna run-run away, run)

Oh, I (run away, run away)
Oh, I-I-I (run away and never come back)
I can't be what you want from me
Well, alright (run-run away, run-run away)

Oh, I (run away)
Oh, I-I-I (show ′em that your color is black)
I can't be what you want from me
Well, alright

Run away, run away fast
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Run away, run away fast
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Run away, run away fast
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Run away, run away fast
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
