Knew U The Pharcyde

[Intro]
And, still, I gotta ask
You could've told me

[Chorus]
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
I thought that I knew you
Better than that (So), better than that (So)
Better than that (So), better than that, better than that

[Verse 1: Bootie Brown]
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
Can tell when she went to sleep, she's still weak
About a big bro, overdid it one day
Decide to hit her, no booze, no drugs, no players
No thugs, no love, no hugs
When she caught me, found the stash in the coffee
Call me from the payphone, speaking real softly
That I've broken the seal of trust
On her way to her momma house on the bus
"It was all for us, don't make a fuss"
She said, as the tears shed, explained that she felt misled
She couldn't take the pain if I was jailed
Or found dead or from one upside the 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 nothin' I could do
I thought I knew, I thought I knew
