Lyrics
You didn't have to steal (you could have asked)
You could have told me (let me know)
And I thought that I knew you
Better than that, better than that
Better than that, better than that
And I thought that I, I knew you
Better than that, better than that
Better than that
And I thought that I knew you
Better than that, better than that
Better than that, better than that
And I thought that I knew you
Better than that, (so) better than that
Better than that, (so) better than that
Better than that, better than that
From the beginning it was known
Had a brother here but now he's gone (real gone)
He's not six deep find him on 6th street
His mind now mincemeat sleeping on concrete
Could tell when she went to sleep she still weep
About her big bro, over did it one day
Decided to hit her, no booze, no drugs
No playas, no thugs, no love, no hugs
When she caught me, found my stash in the car
She called me from the pay phone speaking real softly
That I broke her and sealed the trust
On the way to her mama house on the bus
It was over for us, don't make a fuss she said
As a tear shed explained that she felt misled
She couldn't take the pain if I was jailed or found dead
Or if I went upside her head
I tried to convince her only happens to a few
How could I question after all she's been through
She said she felt bad but there's nothing I can do
I thought I knew, I thought I knew
And I thought that I knew you
Better than that, better than that
Better than that, better than that
And I thought that I knew you
Better than that, (yeah) better than that
Better than that, (my man and them) better than that
Better than that, better than that
Me and my mans go back way before the muzak
I never thought that he would lose it and do that
Always used to be at my house
Now I can't wait to smack the taste out his mouth
They say that money is the root of all evil
But not having money is the root of all evil
Chilling talking walking with my people
Talking the walk about how shit gonna be
We gonna rock under any circumstances
When I'm on the microphone you know we advancing
With or without ya can't fuck with ya
We trying to forget ya cause we trying to get richer
And I thought that I knew you
Better than that, better than that
Better than that, better than that
And I thought that I knew you
Better than that, better than that
Better than that, better than that
Better than that, better than that
And I thought that I, I knew you
Better than that, better than that
Better than that, better than that
