ch3o - thought you knew Lyrics

I use to wanna be up on Jordan's and such
'Cause you only feel good when they showing you love
And you only felt good when you went to the club
Shit I ain't ever feel good when I went to the club
'Cause we don't own anything but we living it up
In a place far away
Let's get closer to love
I would love to craft the country
Like Atticus
Tell me who we are to have the nerve like sciatica
Time to put some healing to that hurt cause we had enough
I've lowered my moral compass
If baby is bad enough
Whatever happen to dreaming
Now everybody wanna be a demon
Am I the only one that's laying on a cloud sleeping
Quintuple down on your plans if it's worth more
And if it ain't fulfilling
Then it ain't foreal then
Men can't make mistakes
Only women and the children
But while I hold this weight
Let me show ya that I'm great

Plenty times
You just gotta be reminded
Plenty times I was looking and was blinded
Petty lies you mistook it for the truth
In the end gotta reconsider you
Plenty times
You just gotta reminded
Plenty times I was looking and was blinded
Realize if you look inside you
That you had it along
I thought you knew
I thought you knew

I never seen my parents together and it was crucial
Generational trauma is violently coursing through you
But the way that we treated and seed it like it's the usual
Shrink diagnosis
Is telling me it's a loose screw
But do you know what it feels like
On the north side of the city they kill life
Bright ideas gettin' bagged and bodied and killed twice
Just to go beyond like bath and body
We feel frightened
Uphill battles gotta pedal we still cyclin'
Know it's been a long time
Shit but I'm still writing
Gotta enough fight left in my body I feel Tyson
You don't know bout Nikki Giovanni
Or real life then
If you don't understand your past faults
Then you bound to repeat it
I'm like lets us build wealth
I can spiritually see it
Stepping stones
I can't lie times I'm still alone
But when I see what we on
Surprise the feelings gone

Plenty times
You just gotta be reminded
Plenty times I was looking and was blinded
Petty lies you mistook it for the truth
In the end gotta reconsider you
Plenty times
You just gotta reminded
Plenty times I was looking and was blinded
Realize if you look inside you
That you had it along
I thought you knew
I thought you knew
