"Should Of Known" lyrics

Yo, I wanna tell you a little story
But before I tell you
Always listen to your parents, man
They know best, trust me, take it from me

I shoulda known
I shoulda known
I shoulda known
It's all my fault
It's all my fault

It all started at secondary school

Holy family, everything was cool

Spitting in the playground, playing football
A bad boy, no one coulda took me for a fool
But I had too much friends though
My dad told me all the time
Wayne, Alan, Carl, Joe
My house phone rang like an operator line
Coming in late, never on time

You had an iPhone, cool, that's mine
Bad boy, always cruel, never kind
Quick to put you in your place when you're outta line
But when I left school, I didn't see my friends that much
We all went different colleges, so we was out of touch

I shoulda known
I shoulda known
I shoulda known
It's all my fault
It's all my fault
I shoulda known
I shoulda known
I shoulda known
It's all my fault
It's all my fault

I had to drop out of college because I made a tune called "Oi!"
I was everyone's best friend and it started to annoy
My dad didn't care, he'd be like, "I don't
Know where you're going with this music, boy"
I ain't know either, I was just trying a ting
I found out old friends from school now been locked up in the bin
I gotta give it to my dad, if it weren't
For him, boy, I'd be doing the same thing
And he was right again, the More Fire Crew thing, that didn't last
To tell you the truth, we just blew too quick

I shoulda known
I shoulda known
I shoulda known
It's all my fault
It's all my fault
I shoulda known
I shoulda known
I shoulda known
It's all my fault
It's all my fault

Two years later, pow, you're on Lethal The Beat

I'm getting phone calls from old friends from school now wanna know me
I'm thinking to myself, "Nah, these guys are funny now"
"I'm hearing stories now, I gotta think a little smarter now"
But it was too late, January 2nd 2005, somebody's knocking on my door
Bang, bang, bang, I'm like, "Rah, who's that knocking on my door?"
"Who's that?" "It's me," I knew the voice, it was one of the team
Opened the door, balaclavas, borers and about four machine
Tried to shut back the door but there was too much man
Old school friends set me up and I just didn't understand
Looked one of 'em right in the eye and he couldn't look at me

That's when I knew who it was, how could you run at me?
