[Background Sample]
Bad things happen to the people you love
And you find yourself paying the diamond above
But honestly I"ve never had much sympathy
Cuz those bad things always saw them coming for me
I"m gonna run, run away, run run away, run away
Run away and never come back
Run run away, run run away, run away show em which color is black
[Intro]
She knows, she knows
Oh I, oh I-I-I
Alright
Oh I, oh I-I-I
Alright
[Verse 1]
d***ed if I do
d***ed if I don't
You know I got a girl back home
You got a man what you want, what you want
What these b****** want from a n****
On some DMX s***
I know them other n***** love tricking
On some BMX s***
But not me
Now I'm sure you done heard about me
A black star, Mos Def, Kweli
Good so them bad hoes try me, they try me
This is Martin Luther King in the club
Getting dubs, with a bad b****
In his ear sayin' she down for whatever
In the back of his mind is Coretta
[Hook 1]
She knows, she knows
And I know she knows, and I know she knows
And deep down she knows, she knows
And I know she knows, and I know she knows
Well alright
Oh I, oh I-I-I
I can't be what you want from me
Well alright
Oh I, oh I-I-I
I can"t be what you want from me
Well alright
[Verse 2]
d***ed if I do
d***ed 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 n****
To put a ring on it
Got a b**** on my d*** 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
Dancehall 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
[Hook 1]
[Hook 2]
n***** 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
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
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
[Outro]
Well alright
Oh I, oh I-I-I
I can't be what you want from me
Well alright
Oh I, oh I-I-I
