Got To Know Lyrics

Music has always spoken to me

If peep was Matthias

Then Lana was cocaine

Aida was my childhood

Music raised me

And taught me what was good

Daddy wasn't around

So mama went to work

What she didn't know

She waited ten years for him to lose control

So addicted to the idea of perfection

That you made your daughter question

Aye

I remember

Being three

Came into your room as you watched tv

And you were crying

I swear

This man made your life worth dying

But you loved him so much

You couldn't let him go

And your daughter

Was the only piece of him

You got to know

Got to know

We would drive for hours

Take pictures with pretty flowers

On the side of the road

You tried to make it fun

Cause you know where were about to go

Daddy's in a jail cell

He made a girl

Say her final farewell

Made her parents lives stand still

Made a child

Pay the bill

I remember

Being three

Came into your room as you watched tv

And you were crying

I swear

This man made your life worth dying

But you loved him so much

You couldn't let him go

And your daughter

Was the only piece of him

You got to know

Got to know

Now he's home

You're no longer alone

But he doesn't love you

The way he should

And my baby brother

Will learn hurting women is good

Is that what you want to do

Continue the cycle of abuse

I remember

Being three

Came into your room as you watched tv

And you were crying

I swear

This man made your life worth dying

But you loved him so much

You couldn't let him go

And your daughter

Was the only piece of him

You got to know

Got to know
