I Know
Navigating Pain and Self-Discovery: Lee Sensay's 'I Know'
Lyrics
You ain't the same boy you cold murder she wrote
You have changed from the person who could commit a cold-blooded murder.
What made you change is it hoes or is it dough?
Questioning the reason for the change, whether influenced by relationships (hoes) or money (dough).
All of this pain you gave for so long
Reflecting on the prolonged emotional pain inflicted on the speaker.
I been away for so long baby I know
Expressing awareness of being absent for an extended period but acknowledging the situation.
Looking at me for a home but it's so broke
People expect the speaker to provide a stable home, but the reality is financially challenging.
I get so selfish I know baby I know
Admitting to selfish tendencies and recognizing it.
Been through enough I can't let you get close
Having experienced enough pain, the speaker is reluctant to let someone get emotionally close.
Yea, drugs in my body vision blurry I can't see straight
Acknowledging the impact of drugs on perception, causing blurred vision.
Fillin' my body with biscotti and some good drank
Consuming substances like biscotti and alcohol (good drank).
Know time is money so I'm putting my time in Ben Franks
Recognizing the value of time and dedicating it to financial pursuits symbolized by Benjamin Franklin on currency (Ben Franks).
Go get that money in a hurry gotta get paid
Emphasizing the urgency of making money and getting paid quickly.
Look in the mirror see the man of her dreams
Seeing oneself as the ideal partner reflected in the mirror.
Just hit my phone when you decided what you need
Asking someone to communicate their needs once they decide.
Shit getting hard, I know
Acknowledging that life is becoming difficult.
So much pain, I know
Acknowledging the presence of significant pain.
Rainy days, I know
Referencing challenging and gloomy times.
Drugs in my body vision blurry I can't see straight
Repeating the impact of drugs on vision and perception.
Fillin' my body with biscotti and some good drank
Reiterating substance use for coping.
Know time is money so I'm putting my time in Ben Franks
Re-emphasizing the importance of time for financial pursuits.
Go get that money in a hurry gotta get paid
Reiterating the urgency of making money swiftly.
Yea, drugs in my body vision blurry I can't see straight
Repeating the effect of drugs on vision.
Fillin' my body with biscotti and some good drank
Reiterating substance use for coping.
Know time is money so I'm putting my time in Ben Franks
Re-emphasizing the importance of time for financial pursuits.
Go get that money in a hurry gotta get paid
Reiterating the urgency of making money swiftly.
Drugs in my body vision blurry I can't see straight
Repeating the impact of drugs on vision and perception.
Fillin' my body with biscotti and some good drank
Reiterating substance use for coping.
Know time is money so I'm putting my time in Ben Franks
Re-emphasizing the importance of time for financial pursuits.
Go get that money in a hurry gotta get paid
Reiterating the urgency of making money swiftly.
