I KNOW ? Lyrics

[Chorus]
Tell me, is you still up? (Up)
It’s 5 AM and I’m drunk right now
Tell me, can we still fuck? (Fuck that shit)
One of one, I’m in the zone right now
Tell me, am I still? (Mm)
Tellin’ you just how I feel right now
You said it’s just the drugs and I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I lied too, way before (Let’s go), before
Before I had you right inside my arms
But then again, I could be drunk (It’s lit, yeah)

[Verse 1]
Baby, I don’t wanna sound righteous (Yeah)
I got twenty bitches suckin’ like bisons
I just eeny, meeny, miney, roll the dices, I pick her (Pop it, pop it)
She ain’t even really my type, and I hear
She been losin’ herself to the night shift
She been losin’ herself and I get, oh, girl, yeah, I get it
Yeah, yeah, you’ve been fightin’ for your shot
And you’ve been searchin’ for your spot
Girl, I feel it, yeah, girl, I feel it, yeah
Oh, you think you got your groove
But you want someone like you (Let—)

[Chorus]
Tell me, is you still up? (Up)
It’s 5 AM and I’m drunk right now
Tell me, can we still fuck? (Fuck that shit)
One of one, I’m in the zone right now
Tell me, am I still? (Mm)
Tellin’ you just how I feel right now
You said it’s just the drugs and I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know (Ooh, it’s the kid, know it, damn it)
I lied too, way before, before (How they feelin’, how they feelin’ right here, ooh)
Before I had you right inside my arms (Feelin’ like some money tonight)
But then again, I could be drunk (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
I know, mami, I know (Know), it’s 2 AM, don’t stress (Stress)
At three, that bullshit kick in, in thirty, you’ll feel your best
I turned my whole spot to crucial, it’s crucial, the way I left (It’s lit)
Upstairs is like a low, my new bitches be the best (Let’s go)
I’m lookin’ at her, when her startin’ to turn into you (Her)
Now you startin’ to fuck up my mind, is it you, is it her?
We brought Booby Trap to the ‘burbs
F29 is my address, in case you ain’t heard
It’s floodin’ upstairs, it’s a leak
I don’t make it squeak, make it squirt
I make this shit beat, bon appétit when I feast
Slippin’ and slide through the streets
It takes a finesse, especially in this Cabriolet Jeep
Engine make it hard to creep
Just leave the gate open, through the side door, I’ma creep (Ooh, ooh)
Are you by the Turrell? And are the kids downstairs asleep?
And are you upstairs by yourself? A minute from there
Is there some room for me? Baby, do tell, do tell

[Chorus]
Tell me, is you still up? (Up)
It’s 5 AM and I’m drunk right now
Tell me, can we still fuck? (Fuck that shit)
One of one, I’m in the zone right now
Tell me, am I still? (Mm)
Tellin’ you just how I feel right now
You said it’s just the drugs and I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I lied too, way before (Let’s go), before
Before I had you right inside my arms
But then again, I could be drunk

I KNOW ? Meaning

[Chorus]
In the chorus, Travis expresses his current state, revealing that he is intoxicated and seeking connection. The heavy repetition of “I know” emphasizes his awareness of the judgment he faces for his drug use. Despite acknowledging this scrutiny, he seems to brush it off, suggesting a defense mechanism where he dismisses the concern of others. This creates a tension between his acknowledgment of the problem and his reluctance to confront it.

[Verse 1]
Travis begins by asserting that he doesn’t want to come off as self-righteous, hinting at the duality of his lifestyle. The reference to numerous women signifies a hedonistic approach, yet there’s an underlying empathy for others who are also struggling. His recognition of someone losing themselves to the “night shift” indicates a shared experience of disconnection and a search for fulfillment, which resonates with his own feelings of confusion and longing.

[Chorus]
Revisiting the chorus, Travis reiterates his current intoxicated state and desire for intimacy. This repetition reinforces the cyclical nature of his experiences, highlighting how he often returns to the same emotional struggles despite recognizing their consequences. The insistence on being “in the zone” suggests a temporary escape he seeks through substances.

[Verse 2]
In this verse, Travis acknowledges the late hour and reassures the listener not to stress, illustrating a sense of urgency and fleeting pleasure in the night. He paints a picture of his lifestyle filled with parties and new encounters, yet expresses the complications that arise from these relationships. His introspection about the presence of a past lover shows the emotional tug-of-war between indulgence and genuine connection.

[Chorus]
The repetition of the chorus again emphasizes Travis’s feelings of discontent, encapsulating his struggles with addiction while seeking comfort in another person. His acknowledgment of lying suggests a deeper self-awareness about his situation, reflecting an ongoing battle with honesty in both his relationships and self-perception.
