KNOW THYSELF / DOLCE Lyrics

We relate, but you don't feel my pain

Cause we ain't too different

But it don't make us the same

I'm no saint

I'm too stained to taint

So play yourself

Play your games

I look in your eyes

I see through your face

Can't see who you are

But I can see what you ain't

Just tell your girl

Let's see who she blame

Know yourself

Know your place

I've had way too many nights

I ain't lived too many days

Now this shit is black and white

And we sittin' in the grey

Temptation in the fire

Drugs, love and sex

Meditations in desire

Making claims to a court

That can see through your lies

Your innocent guise

Look behind, let's see what we find

In the night, letting me inside

Just to lie, to see my demise

We relate, but you don't feel my pain

Cause we ain't too different

But it don't make us the same

I'm no saint

I'm too stained to taint

So play yourself

Play your games

I look in your eyes

I see through your face

Can't see who you are

But I can see what you ain't

Just tell your girl

Let's see who she blame

Know yourself and

Know your place

Know yourself, know your place

I see through your face

Know yourself, know your place

I see what you ain't

Tennis shit like clay

Yeah I'm finna shoot this thing, GSW Klay

And you know we finna mold a man up like clay

And you know I got the drip, work together with clay (Aye, ha!)

Even if i could relay it

You won't hear me say it

Guess we didn't know the price

But we gotta pay it

Never planned on ever leaving

Yeah yeah it's true

But I aint gon' be sitting here

Regretting just for you

Play the act, go portray it

Wanna hear you say it

Too little trust

I ain't surprised you'd go betray it

Kinda mad about you leaving

I mean yea it's true

But I aint gon' be sitting here

Regressing just for you

Walk. Away

Turn your face

But you need it now, right now

Need it now, right now

Walk. Away

Step, n' pace

But I need it now, right now

Need ya now, right now

Cause you don't wanna be hurt

And I can't blame ya

And baby I ain't gon' judge

But I gotta say yeah

If you keep your heart closed

Where the love go?

You keep looking at ya past

Not the place you goin'

One thing you n' me both know is

You can't feel warm if you don't know cold

Runnin' from the dark don't bring you to the light,

So why we be at war with someone who ain't fightin'?

I confess. I made a mess

Shoulda said less, I shoulda said less

Dolce, to my Gabbana

The pain deep as mariana

Dolce, mi amada

Mi amor, ma donna

Your presence effervescent

Thought you'd be my love but then you became a lesson

I was stressin', wakin' up, sweatin'

Succame to the pressure, I'm tryna be better

I see that it's tragic, oh what happened?

Turned me to a memory and went back to your habits

Now the magic faded,

Jaded, waiting to be awakened

Hating being so vacant, knowin' there's no replacing

Maybe I need patience, maybe I need abeyance

None of the expectation, none of the obligation

Baby the situation is slowly weighing me down

I'm praying, pleading, conceding I can see my way out

Memories, conversations, dying aspirations

A bleak revelation, a new adaptation

Showed me I can't be shaken

I will not be taken by my own expectations

All these complications

I'm tired of the complaining

I'm weak and I'm waning

And I'd hate to believe that loving you was wasted

Cause even if I try to relay it

You won't let me say it

Guess you didn't know the price

But you gotta pay it

Never planned on ever leaving

I mean yeah it's true

But you'll just hide yourself

The way I know you do

Play the act

Go portray it

Wanna hear you say it

Already tried to give you love

But you wouldn't take it

Can't be mad about you leaving

Cause I know truth

Coulda seen it through

It's just the way you do

Walk. Away.

Turn your face

But you need it now, right now

Need me now, right now

Walk away

Step. n' pace

But I need it now, right now

Need you now, right now

Need it now, right now

Need me now, right now

But I need it now, right now

Need you now, right now
