Lyrics
dunno if she's up to something I just can't tell
Expressing uncertainty about someone's intentions or actions.
if I have seen her someplace, no ringin' a bell
Unable to recall encountering the person before.
but how it pains me knowing that I'm stuck in my shell
Feeling a sense of discomfort or frustration being confined within one's own limitations.
I'm a lonely soul trynna keepin' it real
Describing oneself as a lonely individual striving to stay authentic.
I know, I know just how it goes
Acknowledging familiarity with the challenges and difficulties of life.
yeah I know, I know just how it goes
-ain't pretty I know, don't take it personal
Admitting that the situation is not pleasant without taking it personally.
don't let it under your skin
Advising not to let negative experiences affect one's inner self, emphasizing the persistence of such situations.
cause this is how it's always been
-I hope you won't take it personal

(yeah) now I'm pulling a houdini again
-no peace in my pocket, I'm in for a grill
Describing a lack of peace or tranquility and preparing for a challenging situation.
as I tip-toe through the city sleeping a lil'
Moving through the city discreetly and acknowledging a repetitive cycle of returning for more.
and I know that everybody knows that I will
-be coming back tomorrow for another party to kill
-cause they know, they know just how it goes
