Shoulda Known Lyrics

[Chorus]
One love
You can let it out
You can let it out
You can let it out, cause
I shoulda known, shoulda known
I shoulda known, shoulda known
One love
You can let it out
You can let it out
You can let it out, cause
I shoulda known, shoulda known
I shoulda known, shoulda known

[Verse 1]
Bino, I'm so for real-o, green like I'm Cee Lo
Hangin' out with Kilo... Kish, smokin' on that Keisha
I'ma need that visa
I'm working on everything that I'm touching man
I'm bussin' two white Russians drinking themselves
But it's still ain't nothing yo
It's East side if you can't tell, North Decatur and Glendale
So fuck y'all, all y'all, if y'all don't like me, good
Put that on my partner man, I wish a nigga would
I say we ain't playing man I hope that's understood
I'm in my zone though, fucking 'round with that 4-0
Eating my mamas salmon but skipping on the risotto
Girl said that she need the follow, tweet her and she'll do any
Man, I'm trying to stay off, readin' 'em makes me angry
On the back on the tour bus, recording the two of us
Stacks at the Apple store, man this ballin' is new to us
Trying to make amends, bailing on all my friends
Niggas went to the club, sent a beat to Gucci instead
Man I'm feelin' right, my nigga Fam yellin', "Don't stop"
And half my crew is always faded on some low top
Stopped drinking for the most part
My only vices all our pictures on my laptop
Screaming at me saying, "I ain't what you really want"
Christina's parents baby all I make is Milians
We got the shows, we got the paper, but I want respect
So tell them haters we ain't quitting yet
Let 'em know
[Chorus]
One love
You can let it out
You can let it out
You can let it out, cause
I shoulda known, shoulda known
I shoulda known, shoulda known
One love
You can let it out
You can let it out
You can let it out, cause
I shoulda known, shoulda known
I shoulda known, shoulda known
One love
You can let it out
You can let it out
You can let it out, cause
I shoulda known, shoulda known
I shoulda known, shoulda known
One love
You can let it out
You can let it out
You can let it out, cause
I shoulda known, shoulda known
I shoulda known, shoulda known
[Chorus]
One love
You can let it out
You can let it out
You can let it out, cause
I shoulda known, shoulda known
I shoulda known, shoulda known
One love
You can let it out
You can let it out
You can let it out, cause
I shoulda known, shoulda known
I shoulda known, shoulda known
One love
You can let it out
You can let it out
You can let it out, cause
I shoulda known, shoulda known
I shoulda known, shoulda known
One love
You can let it out
You can let it out
You can let it out, cause
I shoulda known, shoulda known
I shoulda known, shoulda known

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
