Just so You Know

Verse 1
Tell me, would you look a snake in the eyes?
Under the impression that you ain’t finna die
But before you know it, they've already taken your life
Would you see what other tricks that they've been waiting to try?
Or have you considered the alternative;
Addressing what the serpent did?
The bullshit they put you through if
You're immersed in it
Sometimes you've got to dive head first in it
Whether it was or wasn't on purpose it
Doesn't matter
If it's a disaster
Everybody else sees it too
But I'll be damned if you
Take me with you
That I won't allow
So like Colin Powell
I'm ready for war
With machetes and swords
Only one man, but I'm deadly as four
That's all you need to know
And if you can't handle that fact, you need to go
I don't know if you know, but you need to so...

Hook
Just so you know that I know what you know...

Verse 2
I always knew you were a pain in the ass
But I never knew you were a snake in the grass
I know you think that my success ain't finna last
But remember when you told me that you hated your class?
When did I ever say that you ain't finna pass?
I know we may have the strangest of pasts
But if you see me in the street you'd better be changing your path
Just so you know one of us ain't finna pass
Better go for your guns and aim with your gats
I’ll aim at your ass
First all you see is the flame, then the blast
Then a future is what one of us ain't finna have
And that's real recognizes real but
You don't look quite familiar
I'd like to peel your
Cap back just like a pill bug
But the facts that your life's not worth the time to kill you...

[Hook]

Verse 3
I don't want my self-righteousness to make you worse
Because to be honest, I loved you just the way you were
Even despite all of the pain and hurt
And no, I can't ignore the gauze
Or bandages on damages
The ever-changing word
Of yours has caused
I loved you more for the flaws
You exhibited
And in defense
Of your inhibitions
I couldn't say exactly what the difference is
Between you and me
But hopefully if you were me
You'd give me
A heads up
Before I said what
I just said just
To give a brother another chance to correct them
To make it right
Otherwise
Say goodnight
Because it may just might
Mean redrum
Got to let them
Know...just so you know so...
