You Know You Wrong
Unveiling the Crooked Path: You Know You Wrong
Lyrics
Well I call it like I see it,
Expressing a straightforward and honest communication style
And you could never be it,
Asserting that the person being addressed can never achieve a certain status or quality
Your eyes are always closed
Pointing out that the person's perception is limited or closed
You can't see beyond your nose
Highlighting the lack of awareness or insight beyond immediate surroundings
You know you wrong
Stating that the person is morally or ethically wrong
(you know you wrong)
Repetition for emphasis, reinforcing the assertion of wrongdoing
You know you wrong
Reiteration of the person's awareness of their wrongdoing
(you know you wrong)
Emphasizing once again the recognition of wrongdoing
I say I don't wanna fight, 'cause you are never right!
Refusing to engage in a fight due to the other person consistently being incorrect
You know you wrong
Reaffirmation of the person's awareness of their wrongdoing
(you know you wrong)
Repetition for emphasis, indicating strong conviction about the other person's wrongness
You know you wrong!
Strong assertion of the person's recognition of their own wrongdoing
The girl that you just met's got you tied up like a pet
Describing a situation where someone is romantically entangled and controlled
Got you coming got you going
Depicting a state of confusion and uncertainty caused by the person's actions
Got you never ever knowin' that you wrong
Stating that the person is consistently unaware of their wrongdoing
Even though I know you love this song ,
Acknowledging the person's enjoyment of a particular song
You sit and sing it all day long.
Highlighting the persistence of singing the song without bringing positive change
It doesn't change a thing for me,
Expressing that the song doesn't impact the speaker due to the other person's lack of insight
'Cause brother you will never see
Affirming the person's inability to perceive certain truths
At the end of the day
Referring to the conclusion of a day or situation
I can always hear you say
Noting the consistent expression of the person about things not going their way
That nothing ever goes
Asserting the person's belief that nothing goes according to their plans
Quite your way
Highlighting a consistent pattern of challenges or obstacles for the person
You know you wrong
Reaffirmation of the person's awareness of their wrongdoing
(you know you wrong)
Repetition for emphasis, indicating strong conviction about the other person's wrongness
You know you wrong
Reiteration of the person's awareness of their wrongdoing
(you know you wrong)
Emphasizing once again the recognition of wrongdoing
You know you wrong
Repetition for emphasis, reinforcing the assertion of wrongdoing
(you know you wrong)
Reaffirmation of the person's awareness of their wrongdoing
I say I don't wanna fight, 'cause you are never right!
Refusing to engage in a fight due to the other person consistently being incorrect
You know you wrong
Reaffirmation of the person's awareness of their wrongdoing
(you know you wrong)
Repetition for emphasis, indicating strong conviction about the other person's wrongness
You know you wrong
Concluding with a strong assertion of the person's recognition of their own wrongdoing
