Lyrics for J. Cole – She Knows

[Background Sample]
Bad things happen to the people you love
And you find yourself praying up to heaven above
But honestly I’ve never had much sympathy
Cause those bad things, I always saw them coming for me
I’m gonna run run away, run run away, run away
Run away and never come back
Run run away, run run away, run away show ‘em that your color is black

[Intro]
She knows, she knows
Oh I, oh I-I-I
Alright
Oh I, oh I-I-I
Alright

[Verse 1]
Damned if I do
Damned if I don’t
You know I got a girl back home
You got a man what you want, what you want
What these bitches want from a nigga
On some DMX shit
I know them other niggas love tricking
On some BMX shit
But not me
Now I’m sure you done heard about me
A black star, Mos Def, Kweli
Good so them bad hoes try me, they try me
This is Martin Luther King in the club
Getting dubs, with a bad bitch
In his ear sayin’ that she down for whatever
In the back of his mind is Coretta

[Hook 1]
She knows, she knows
And I know she knows, and I know she knows
And deep down she knows, she knows
And I know she knows, and I know she knows
Well alright
Oh I, oh I-I-I
I can’t be what you want from me
Well alright
Oh I, oh I-I-I
I can’t be what you want from me
Well alright

[Verse 2]
Damned if I do
Damned if I don’t
I’m passing up on bad hoes
Trying to be the man that she want, what she want
What she want from a nigga
To put a ring on it
Got a bitch on my dick right now
And she just want to sing on it
Got me up so high
Trying to get a piece of that apple pie
I be up so high
Trying to get a piece of that apple pie
Dancehall vibes with my pants on fire
Cause I told her I was sleeping
Cause I creep with this pretty young thing that I chose
That she could be doing the same thing I suppose

[Hook 1]

[Hook 2]
Niggas say turn up, hoes say turn up
Only bad thing about a star is they burn up
Rest in peace to Aaliyah
Rest in peace to Left Eye
Michael Jackson, I’ll see ya
Just as soon as I die

Got me up so high, trying to get a piece of that apple pie
I be up so high, trying to get a piece of that apple pie
Got me up so high, trying to get a piece of that apple pie
I be up so high, trying to get a piece of that apple pie

[Outro]
Well alright
Oh I, oh I-I-I
I can’t be what you want from me
Well alright
Oh I, oh I-I-I
I can’t be what you want from me
Well alright
