Words I Should’ve said Lyrics by Mick Jenkins & EMIL
(Feat. ENNY)
You should know
You should know
You should know that I tell a harsh truth
The wind blows, won’t be no sugar coats
My points can feel like a shark’s tooth
Sometimes, my point of view might exhaust you
Sometimes, I like to look at ***, I have toots, baby
I like to do *** in prime too, baby
I wasn’t thinking about you
I like the move of the wind
You should know it like I know the back of my hand
I mean, I ain’t saying fold for whatever I’m saying
I’m saying you should know my angles before we make any plans to be
Praying you understanding me
You should know
I’m trying to make space for you
you’ve been on my own too love
You should know
You shoulda I coulda Every single shoulda woulda coulda
Hindsight really make a *** shudder
Hindsight a *** hindsight will hit
In hindsight it clicked
In hindsight, signs did exist
I’m fighting this
Reality, be honest with yourself
Everything just sits like novels on a shelf
Libraries of me denying flags the signs I shoulda seen
But guess this loop is just a sign for you to speak
Speak then
Memories of every see em still I have to grieve them
Message in a bottle, swallow truth or swallow semen
Weathering this journey, but this route was never scenic
Oh, this route was never
The route was never easy, but the square of it will surely be my reason
All this anger has the countenance of demons
All this anger means that there was truly feelings
How you seem to think that words will bring me healing
Words you could’ve said, could’ve read, could’ve wrote
I hope the heights that make you sick and choke
I keep you one, I need to know one, ***, you don’t need to know
You need to grow, I capsize all my feelings
It’s a sinking boat, you should know
I’m trying to make space for you
you’ve been on my own too love
Don’t even make space for myself, I mean
You should know that I’m the type to not ask for help
I’m saying, you should know I feel weak, I don’t do it myself
I mean, I ain’t tryna be on no stealthy ***
But often I just keep to myself
I seen niggas keep a leash on they health
Cause they couldn’t muzzle the need for the wealth
I seen a *** brown eyes turn green
Then he hated it, you should know it got me jaded
Funny how that works, you should know I’m probably faded
Most of the time, the older I get
My pops fading out of my mind
But you should know that’s plaguing me too
It’s not the visual I usually paint, but it’s true
These ain’t the greatest parts of me, but they ain’t part of me too
It’s like it’s also dark in me too
I guess it all depends on which voice you hearkening to
They laying stains on some carpenter ***, we sharpenin’ ***
You should know I’m confident too
The way these niggas tend to marvel at truth
I know they won’t believe we marveled to ride
You should know if they not blind and they partially blind
I see you clear when I’m near, when I’m farther behind
I know you know your face, car, don’t decline
And you a dime, but we could do it all on my dime
Thought you should know, and I ain’t finna play with your time
Hope you can tell don’t play me peace don’t play me no mind
You what I need a considerably fine a wine and dip and deal
And admittedly girl I declined but been compelled to definitively make up my mind
And I arrived at you
I tried to make space for you, and I’m my own, tomorrow
Don’t even make space for myself, I mean
You should know that I’m the type to not ask for help, I’m saying
You should know that I…
