Shoulda Known

…from R O Y A L T Y

One love
You can let it out
You can let it out
You can let it out ‘cause
I shoulda known, I shoulda known
I shoulda known, I shoulda known

‘Bino, I’m so for real-o
Green like I’m Cee Lo
Hangin’ out with Kilo Kish
Smokin’ on that keisha
I’mma need that Visa

I’m workin’ on everything that I’m touchin’, man
I’m bustin’ two white Russians
Drinkin’ themselves, but it still ain’t nothin’

Yo, it’s East Side if you can’t tell
North Decatur and Glendale
So fuck y’all, all y’all, if y’all don’t like me—good
Put that on my partner man, I wish a nigga would
I’m sayin’ we ain’t playin’, man, I hope that’s understood

I’m in my zone, though
Fuckin’ ‘round with that 4-0
Eatin’ my mama’s salmon but skippin’ on the risotto
Girl said that she need the follow

Tweet her and she’ll do any
Man, I’m trying to stay off, readin’ ‘em makes me angry
On the back of the tour bus, recordin’ the two of us
Stacks at the Apple store, man, this ballin’ is new to us

Tryin’ to make amends
Bailin’ on all my friends
Niggas went to the clubs
And a beat to Gucci instead

Man, I’m feelin’ right
My nigga Fam yellin’, “Don’t stop”
And half my crew is always faded on some lowtop
Stopped drinkin’ for the most part
My only vices all our pictures on my laptop
You screamin’ at me, sayin’, “I ain’t what you really want”
Christina’s parents, baby, all I make is Milians

We got the shows, we got the paper, but I want respect
So tell them haters we ain’t quittin’ yet
Let ‘em know

One love
You can let it out
You can let it out
You can let it out ‘cause
I shoulda known, I shoulda known
I shoulda known, I shoulda known

One love
You can let it out
You can let it out
You can let it out ‘cause
I shoulda known, I shoulda known
I shoulda known, I shoulda known

One love, the thing that hasn’t changed
My parents lost their job, it’s so cold in the A
Now that I’m one percent, I send most of it home
I want to stunt but she need to pay off her student loans

And everybody sayin’, “Get it while you hittin’, man
We want them harder beats, that 808, you slippin’, man”
Dude is so stupid, poppin’ anything they hand me
On that parking lot, pimpin’ and politickin’ in Miami

In that home of the D where they sell that cake batter
Heard a voice in the back, came from all the fake rappers
That I shitted on, shitted on
Shitted on, shitted on

Rap your soul, dude, let the mic blaze
Show ‘em A-Town, East Side, all day
I put it on, I put it on
I put it on, I put it on

Life is somethin’ IMAX
Film is at a climax
I ain’t even started
Was it stupid I departed?

Man, probably, but now we do the things we always wanted
I’m proud of me, ‘cause I am undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with
Please somebody cum laude me
Graduated, anticipated the hatred and doubted me
Not a prodigy, just a hard worker from the dean’s list
When most these rappers doin’ so-so like a seamstress, Jesus

One love
You can let it out
You can let it out
You can let it out ‘cause
I shoulda known, I shoulda known
I shoulda known, I shoulda known

One love
You can let it out
You can let it out
You can let it out ‘cause
I shoulda known, I shoulda known
I shoulda known, I shoulda known

One love
You can let it out
You can let it out
You can let it out ‘cause
I shoulda known, I shoulda known
I shoulda known, I shoulda known

One love
You can let it out
You can let it out
You can let it out ‘cause
I shoulda known, I shoulda known
I shoulda known, I shoulda known
